Brentford vs Aston Villa Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

The Villans won in their last clash against the Bees in the league.

Brentford are all set to host Aston Villa in match week 28 of the Premier League 2024-25 season. The Bees are at the 11th spot in the points table. They have bagged 11 wins in their 27 league matches so far. The Villans are just above them in the table with the same number of wins in 28 matches.

Brentford will be at home but their confidence levels will not be very high as they were defeated against Aston Villan in their last league game this season. The Bees conceded three goals in the second half because of which they dropped three points. Mikkel Damsgaard was the sole goal scorer for the Bees against Aston Villa previously.

Aston Villa are gaining their form back and are coming in after securing an easy win over Club Brugge in the UEFA Champions League fixture. With a different approach and set of new players, the Villans do have higher chances of securing three points over the Bees. They are looking to go hard on one another.

Marco Asensio (Aston Villa)

The Spaniard has scored five goals in five matches for the Villans across all competitions. Although he did not start in all those matches the winger surely left a mark in the end. Marco Asensio has a lot of experience across multiple leagues all over Europe and he will make sure to use it to his advantage to lead his side to a win.
