Brentford vs Aston Villa Prediction

Brentford have seen an upturn in form, winning three of five games, losing one. They are winless in seven home games in the Premier League, losing five and failing to score in four. Nonetheless, their four wins against Villa have all come at home.

Sepp van den Berg, Josh Dasilva, Rico Henry, Aaron Hickey, Mathias Jensen, Gustavo Nunes and Igor Thiago are sidelined with injuries. Christian Nørgaard missed the Everton match with a concussion and is doubtful.

Villa, meanwhile, are unbeaten in five meetings against Brentford, scoring at least thrice in three games. They have lost one of their last seven games and have scored at least twice in five outings.

Boss Unai Emery remains without Ross Barkley and Amadou Onana due to injuries. Marco Asensio has scored in his last two games and might start.

Villa have the better recent record in the fixture, and considering their better goalscoring record, expect the visitors to eke out a narrow win.

Prediction: Brentford 1-2 Villa
