Kick-off: 8.15pm UK Time, Wednesday 4th December 2024

Aston Villa slipped into the bottom half of the Premier League standings when losing to Chelsea in their last outing and they will be desperate to return to winning ways when they entertain Brentford on Wednesday evening.

Reason to be optimistic

A poor performance at Stamford Bridge on Sunday afternoon resulted in Aston Villa’s winless run being extended to eight games and the West Midlands side dropping down to twelfth position in the league table. Unai Emery will be desperate to stop the decline after his side’s 3-0 defeat in the capital, however with just a single point collected from their last four Premier League contests, Villa need to turn things around before their whole season unravels. Despite their downturn in fortunes, Villa have suffered defeat in just one of their last eleven games on home soil, while they have shared the spoils in their last three. As such, there’s reason for the home side to be optimistic ahead of their midweek clash with a Brentford side against which Villa are unbeaten in four league meetings.

Unbeaten run

As far as Brentford are concerned, this match is a chance for them to extend their unbeaten run to four games and grab a fifth victory in seven competitive outings. The Bees enjoyed a routine 4-1 win over Leicester City in their last outing, Kevin Schade helping himself to a hat-trick along the way, while the West London outfit have found the net 26 times in the league since the start of the season – more than any other side with the exception of Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur. On the other side of the coin, the Bees have conceded more goals – 23 – than any other top-flight side outside the bottom seven, while they have enjoyed just one away win in the Premier League, less than any other side with the exception of bottom side Southampton.

Rapid slide

With Villa leaking plenty of goals of late and Brentford scoring freely, this match points very much in favour of the visitors. The Bees are just three points adrift of fourth-placed Brighton & Hove Albion and will be battling for a place in the top four, while Villa are looking to halt their rapid slide. All things considered, Brentford should have the edge here and we envisage them getting over the line in this midweek clash.

Back Brentford to win and both teams to score at best odds of 6/1
