Aston Villa vs Brentford Predictions
Villa’s limited chances could keep the score down
The teams return from the international break with contrasting results behind them. Villa earned their first league win of the season with a 3-2 victory at struggling Tottenham, while Brentford beat Chelsea 3-0.
Villa’s win was unusually open, though the Spurs match remained goalless until first-half stoppage time. Their two games at Villa Park have produced only four goals in total. Villa also have the league’s lowest expected goals figure at five and its fewest shots, with 48.
Brentford have collected just two of their nine points away from home, drawing both trips to Leeds and Bournemouth. Their two away games have produced a combined expected goals figure of 2.54. The home and away gap is familiar: Brentford lost ten league matches on the road last season, compared with three at home.
Unai Emery’s side are still settling attacking players Johan Manzambi and Nicolas Jackson, so Brentford’s travel record alone does not settle the result. Villa are 2.63 for their first home win, Brentford are 2.50 and the draw is 3.60. With both teams also returning from an extended break, I’m backing under 2.5 goals at 2.10.
Tip: Under 2.5 goals @ with N/A
Lewis-Potter may be busy on Brentford’s left
Keane Lewis-Potter’s role as a Brentford full-back brings him into challenges high up the pitch. He has averaged 1.8 fouls per Premier League game this season.
Villa’s right side gives that figure particular interest. Matty Cash has been fouled 1.5 times per league game, while John McGinn could also feature there. McGinn drew an average of 5.3 fouls across four appearances for Scotland during the international break.
Brentford average 14.4 fouls per match, the second-highest total in the division. Referee Craig Pawson has awarded 55 fouls and shown eight yellow cards in his two Premier League fixtures this season. Lewis-Potter’s own foul rate and the potential match-up with Cash and McGinn make 2+ fouls worth a bet at 2.45.
Tip: Keane Lewis-Potter to commit 2+ fouls @ with N/A
