Aston Villa vs Brentford – Top Two Predictions
If you want to check reliable Premier League betting tips, including those for Aston Villa vs Brentford, we can help you out:
Aston Villa and Brentford to Draw
While Aston Villa sits one spot above the relegation zone and scrambles to find a replacement for Steven Gerrard, Brentford is sitting in the middle of the standings in Premier League, five points ahead of Villa.
Clearly, the guests are in much better situation ahead of their upcoming duel this weekend. However, Aston Villa is hosting the game and sacking Gerrard could see Villa's players perform a bit better in this game, so a draw sounds like the most realistic outcome to us.
Both Teams to Score – Yes
We saw both teams score in four of the previous five head-to-head meetings between Aston Villa and Brentford, so we won't be surprised to see that again on Sunday.
In addition to this, both teams have scored in 55% of all Brentford matches in the league this season, while the same is true for 45% of all Aston Villa games in Premier League so far.

Aston Villa vs Brentford Preview: Possible Lineups, Team News, and Form
This can be a very exciting game, so here is a closer look at both teams ahead of their upcoming duel:
Aston Villa
Things are far from rosy at Aston Villa with the team currently at the same number of points as the first team in the relegation zone in Premier League. And after the easy and convincing loss to Fulham this mid-week, Steven Gerrard is no longer the head coach of the team and it remains to be seen who will Villa appoint as the new manager, which will likely happen after their game with Brentford over the weekend.
Meanwhile, the team is currently without injured Ludwig Augustinsson, Boubacar Kamara, Lucas Digne, and Diego Carlos.
Aston Villa Predicted Lineup:
Martinez – Cash, Konsa, Mings, Young – McGinn, Luiz, Ramsey – Buendia, Watkins, Coutinho
Brentford
The Bees had a solid start of their second season in Premier League and after ten rounds they are sitting in the middle of the standings with fifteen points. Brentford has been inconsistent so far, but their last two games were pretty impressive since they managed to beat in-form Brighton and draw with Chelsea.
When it comes to team news, Brentford will have to manage without Aaron Hickey. Pontus Jansson, Thomas Strakosha, and Christian Norgaard, who are all out with injuries right now.
Brentford Predicted Lineup:
Raya – Ajer, Pinnock, Mee, Henry – Jensen, Janelt, Onyeka – Mbeumo, Toney, Wissa
