Aston Villa vs Brentford Prediction & Betting Tips (6 April)

Aston Villa are exceeding expectations this season and are joining the fight to qualify for the Champions League. The Birmingham-based team is now 4th in the Premier League with 1 game more and 2 points ahead of 5th. The Villans are less to their advantage these days, as evidenced by the only success acquired during the last 4 days, for 1 draw and 2 defeats. After dominating Wolverhampton last weekend 2-0, they lost at Manchester City this week 4-1. Still present in the Europa Conference League, Aston Villa faces Lille in the quarter-final.

Brentford is currently 15th in the Premier League and is 6 points ahead of the first relegated team. Unable to win over the last 8 days, 3 draws and 5 defeats, Ivan Toney's teammates have been in slow motion for several weeks now. They still managed to hold off Manchester United last weekend 1-1 and Brighton this week 0-0. Brentford are showing real limits at the moment but are taking advantage of the difficulties of the teams behind to maintain a small lead in the red zone.

Aston Villa still has to deal with the withdrawals of starting defenders Mings and Cash, midfielder Kamara, interesting winger Ramsey and playmaker Buendia. Also absent this week, the essential striker Watkins (16 goals and 10 assists in the PL) is, for his part, uncertain. This is also the case for Italian winger Zaniolo. The good news comes from the return from suspension of midfielder and captain McGinn.

Against Manchester City, substitute Duran took advantage of Watkins' absence to find the net. The influential Douglas Luiz (9 goals and 5 assists in PL) and Bailey (8 goals and 8 assists in PL) are available.
