Match Preview

There are growing calls for Unai Emery to switch up his approach at Aston Villa, as the club from the West Midlands have lost ground in the battle for a Champions League spot this season. Three defeats in their last four have seen Villa drop into the bottom half of the standings, with their latest loss coming in the form of a 3-0 defeat at Chelsea.

Brentford will certainly pose an interesting challenge to the home side this weekend after winning two of their last three to sit eighth in the standings. The Bees have also lost just once across their last five matches in the Premier League.

However, the Bees will be looking to make history this week, as they have never previously won an away match against Aston Villa in nine attempts. But, only three defeats have been suffered over that period, with six previous encounters ending in draws.

Goals look to be assured this week, with only one of the six Premier League meetings between these sides seeing a team keep a clean sheet. However, Brentford’s record against sides that finished the previous campaign in the Champions League spots should be respected, as they have lost nine of their last ten.

Midweek matches haven’t been kind to Villa in recent seasons, as they have won just twice in their last 14. Over that period, the Villa have suffered eight defeats, with four matches ending in draws.
