Brentford vs Aston Villa Prediction, H2H and Probable Lineups - March 8, 2025
The Saturday schedule of the 28th round of the English Premier League continues with a match at the "Brentford Community Stadium", where local Brentford will face Aston Villa. I suggest betting on goals in this match with a good coefficient.
Match Preview
The Londoners have, for the first time in a long while, gone three Premier League matches without defeat. During this successful stretch, Thomas Frank's squad secured two clean-sheet victories – away against West Ham (1:0) and Leicester (4:0), and also drew at home with Everton (1:1).
Brentford has solidified their position in 11th place in the standings with 38 points, allowing the team to feel confidently safe from the relegation zone. The club's scoring prowess is particularly noteworthy – their matches average 3.4 goals, ranking fourth in the league.
The "Villans" suffered a painful defeat to Crystal Palace (1:4) in the last round, marking their fourth thrashing this season, all occurring away. It's worth noting that in their last seven Premier League matches, the club has secured just one victory, alongside 4 draws and 2 losses.
As a result, Unai Emery's team has slipped to 10th in the standings, but they are only two points away from the European competition spots. On the other hand, the team has shown resilience in the last 10 championship games, not losing in 8 of them, with 3 wins and 5 draws. Midweek, Aston Villa defeated Brugge away in the Champions League playoffs (3:1), virtually guaranteeing themselves a spot in the quarterfinals.
Probable Lineups
- Brentford: Mark Flekken – Keane Lewis-Potter, Nathan Collins, Ethan Pinnock, Kristoffer Ajer – Yegor Yarmolyuk, Vitaly Janelt – Kevin Schade, Mikkel Damsgaard, Bryan Mbeumo – Yoane Wissa
