Brentford vs Aston Villa Prediction

Brentford Form

Only a single draw prevents Brentford from having nothing to show for their previous three games. They came up short in a 2-3 defeat against Fulham, before drawing 1-1 with Wolverhampton. They came up empty-handed once again when Nottingham Forest ran out as 3-1 winners. Brentford claimed a modest two wins in their past six home matches in the Premier League. They also drew two and lost two, scored 11 goals and conceded ten.

Aston Villa Form

Aston Villa achieved a win, a loss and a draw in their previous three matches, starting off beating Tottenham 2-0. A 2-0 defeat against Manchester United followed, before drawing with Newcastle in a match resulting 0-0. Aston Villa recorded a very decent outcome of four wins from six away matches in the Premier League, in which they banged in nine goals, whilst conceding four. They recorded no draws but in stead suffered defeat twice.

We trust neither defence to be able to keep their opponent at bay, when Brentford welcome Aston Villa on Saturday. Goals should be flowing at both ends of the pitch.
