We have a reduced fixture list in the English Premier League this weekend due to the FA Cup but on the 22nd of April we have a meeting between Brentford and Aston Villa.
The game will be played at the Gtech Community Stadium and the hosts begin the weekend 9th in the table on 43 points while the visitors are 6th on 50 points.
Brentford come into the game on the back of a 2-0 defeat at Wolverhampton Wanderers last weekend. Wolves opened the scoring in the 27th minute and doubled their advantage with 20 minutes remaining in the second half.
The loss at Wolves means Brentford have failed to win any of their last 5 fixtures, all of which have been played in the Premier League. The Bees have suffered 3 successive defeats in the league, losing at Manchester United and Wolves plus tasting defeat at home against Newcastle United. T
he only points Brentford have won in their last 5 games have come via draws against Leicester City at home and Brighton away.
Home form in the Premier League shows Brentford are undefeated in 10 of their last 11 matches. However, they have recorded just a single victory from their 5 most recent home Premier League fixtures, with the win coming over Fulham. Trends show both teams have scored in all of Brentford’s last 4 home league fixtures.
Aston Villa make the trip to the Gtech Community Stadium having recorded a tremendous 3-0 home win over Newcastle United in the Premier League last weekend.
Aston Villa opened the scoring in the 11th minute and added a second goal in the 64th minute. Aston Villa sealed maximum points with a third goal 7 minutes from time.
The win over Newcastle United means Aston Villa have won each of their last 5 fixtures, all of which have been in the Premier League.
They are undefeated in their 8 most recent Premier League fixtures and are undefeated in their last 4 away league games. Aston Villa have beat Everton, Chelsea, and Leicester City on the road in the Premier League.
Trends show Aston Villa have been finding the back of the net regularly away from home in the Premier League. They have scored in each of their last 10 away league games and both teams have scored in 3 of their last 5 on the road.
Team news and Brentford are without the injured duo of Pontus Jansson and Keane Lewis-Potter. Defender Kristoffer Ajer is a doubt due to a calf problem.
Aston Villa continue without the injured quartet of Leon Bailey, Boubacar Kamara, Matty Cash, and Philippe Coutinho. They are likely to go with the same starting XI from the win over Newcastle United.
Aston Villa are pushing for European football and are playing full of confidence while Brentford’s form has dropped off in recent weeks. We expect to see both teams score and over 2.5 goals with Aston Villa taking maximum points.
