Wednesday, at 19:45, Aston Villa receives Brentford’s visit to the 4th Premier League. Steve Bruce’s band is pushing for promotion and hopes for a victory, but Brentford is one of the most solid teams in the league and has the strength to sign up for Birmingham. The hosts are missing two very important, injured players – Davis and Hogan.
Although the season has just begun, we have to say that Villa is on the 4th place and Brentford on the 5th place, so both have playoff claims and generally evolve offensive. Aston Villa comes after a 1-1 draw at Ipswich Town, a match in which the guests dominated and were equalized, although they played in numerical superiority almost a half. Villa had 4 wins before Ipswich: 1-0 to Yeovil (Cup), 3-2 to Wigan, 3-1 to Hull and 2-1 to Dresden. Overall, Villa looks good in attack, where Kodija receives many useful balloons, and Jack Grealish, midfield midfielder, always flashes in his band play.
Watkins and Maupay, Brentford‘s naked men.
Brentford defeated Sheffield Wednesday with 2-0 on home ground and showed again well organized. After this 2-0 and a 4-2 in the Southend Cup, Brentford looks like he can keep up and get consistently impressive results. Draw from Stoke (1-1) could easily have been a victory if the potter’s goalkeeper did not have a few decisive interventions on the final match. A team with an attitude and a flawless play game, Brentford will not come to play a defensive game on Villa Park, but will try to bring victory in front of a vulnerable rival. After all, Villa received a goal in every match played in this championship!
Brentford scored once in the previous (and only) two visits to Villa Park, where he drew 1-1 and 0-0. Instead, the last two home games were won by Brentford with 3-0 and 2-1, so Ville’s superiority is questionable. White-reds have interesting attacking players like Watkins and Maupay, which will give Aston Villa great emotions.
PREDICTION: Both teams to score / YES @ 1.71
