Brentford vs Aston Villa - 02/01/2022
8052
There are four matches to be played in the English Premier League at 14:00 on the 2nd of January including the meeting between Brentford and Aston Villa.
The game will be played at the Brentford Community Stadium and the hosts begin this round of fixtures in 14th place on 20 points while the visitors are in 12th place on 22 points.
Bradford come into the match having suffered a 1-0 home defeat at the hands of top of the table Manchester City. It was not a positive result for The Bees but they did well not to lose by a greater margin against an in-form Manchester City.
That result means Brentford have lost each of their last 3 matches in all competitions. They went down 2-0 at Brighton and Hove Albion in the Premier League and were eliminated from the League Cup thanks to a 2-0 loss at home against Chelsea.
Home form in the Premier League shows Brentford are inconsistent and they have won 2, lost 2 and drawn 1 of their last 5 home league games. The victories came over Everton and Watford but there have been defeats at the hands of Leicester City, Norwich City, and Manchester City.
Trends show Brentford do not score many goals when playing at home in the Premier League but they have found the back of the net in 4 of their last 5 home league matches.
Aston Villa make the trip to the Brentford Community Stadium on the back of a 3-1 loss at home against Chelsea. Aston Villa opened the scoring after 28 minutes but Chelsea equalised before half time. The introduction of Romelu Lukaku changed the game and the Chelsea player scored Chelsea’s second goal and won the penalty for their third at the end of the match.
That result means Aston Villa, much like their opponents, have been inconsistent recently and they have won 4 and lost 3 of their last 7 Premier League fixtures. Their away form shows just 2 victories from their 6 most recent away trips, with the wins coming at Crystal Palace and Norwich City. There have been defeats at Tottenham Hotspur, Arsenal, Southampton, and Liverpool.
Trends show Aston Villa have conceded goals in 5 of their last 6 away Premier League games and have failed to score themselves in 2 of their last 4 on the road.
Looking ahead to the team news and Brentford have a significant injury list, with several players unavailable. Among those on the treatment table are Charlie Goode, Rico Henry, Tariqe Fosu, Zanka, David Raya, Joshua Dasilva, and Julian Jeanvier. There also doubts over the inclusion of Dominic Thompson, Bryan Mbeumo, and Kristoffer Ajer.
Aston Villa are without suspended defender Tyrone Mings. Bertrand Traoré, Leon Bailey, and Marvelous Nakamba are injured and there are doubts over the fitness of Ashley Young.
This has the makings of being a close game, with little to separate the teams. Brentford have not had things all their own way recently but will be hopeful they can pick up maximum points against an Aston Villa team without their key central defender. A single goal could be enough to see Brentford win the match.
