Aston Villa Need a Return to Winning Ways as They Host Brentford

Aston Villa vs Brentford - 06/04/2024

2005

We have a full round of fixtures in the Premier League this weekend and the race for the top four continues.

The game between Aston Villa and Brentford will be played on the 6th of April at Villa Park. The hosts begin the weekend in 4th place on 59 points while the visitors are in 15th place on 28 points.

Aston Villa come into the match on the back of a 4-1 loss at Manchester City. The hosts opened the scoring in the 11th minute but Aston Villa equalised 9 minutes later.

Manchester City scored their second on the stroke of halftime and Aston Villa had no answer in the second half, with Manchester City scoring 2 additional goals to win the game.

The defeat at Manchester City means Aston Villa have won only 2 of their 6 most recent fixtures in all competitions. There have defeated Ajax at home in the Europa Conference League plus Wolverhampton Wanderers at home in the Premier League.

Trends show Aston Villa have recorded just a single victory from their 4 most recent Premier League matches. In addition to the loss at Manchester City, there was a 4-0 home defeat at the hands of top four chasing Tottenham Hotspur.

Aston Villa have won 2 of their last 3 home Premier League games and have seen over 2.5 goals scored in 5 of their 6 most recent league matches on home soil.

Brentford make the trip to Villa Park having been held to a 0-0 draw at home by Brighton in the Premier League on Wednesday night. Brentford will be disappointed to have had only 5 attempts and not a single shot on target in the 90 minutes.

The draw at home with Brighton means Brentford have failed to win any of their last 8 fixtures, all of which have been played in the Premier League.

There have been defeats against Manchester City, West Ham, Arsenal, and Burnley away plus Liverpool at home and draws with Cheslea and Manchester United at home.

The stats show Brentford have been poor on the road and they have lost 9 of their last 10 away Premier League games. However, they have managed to score 1 or more goals in 6 of their last 7 away Premier League matches.

Team news and Aston Villa will welcome back John McGinn and Ollie Watkins could return from injury. Boubacar Kamara, Emi Buendia, Matty Cash, and Tyrone Mings are in the treatment room.

Brentford could start Bryan Mbeumo for the first time since December. However, Josh Dasilva, Rico Henry, Ben Mee, Aaron Hickey, and Kevin Schade are injured plus there are doubts over the fitness of Christian Nørgaard and Ethan Pinnock.

Aston Villa need to win to ensure they stay in the top four and Brentford are yet to secure safety.

That should make for an intriguing game and we expect to see both teams scoring. With the return of John McGinn and potentially Ollie Watkins, Aston Villa could win by a single goal margin.
