Brentford welcome the visitors Aston Villa in the English Championship – Round 32. The match will be held on Wednesday, February, 13th, at the Griffin Park (London).
Brentford’ last-round loss to Nottingham Forrest ended their unbeaten run of 10 consecutive matches. The hosts are presently 18th in the Championship standings, yet not threatened by the relegation zone. Brentford’s performance at home is rather better than away; on their soil, they play open football. The team are 3rd in the league by the number of goals made at home – they feature over 30 goals scored in 15 rounds; on the other hand, they allow more than once per game. Brentford are 2nd by the number of hits per round, which is 14.5 on average. They have every chance to score 1+ goal in the coming clash with Aston Villa.

The visitors contrived to draw 14 times in 31 fixtures, thus, they lose points very often; therefore, the team still did not reach the play-offs zone. Aston Villa take the 10th place in the table. Their present task is to get to the top-six at least; they are currently 7 points behind it. Same as their hosts, Aston Villa play open football and fashion many opportunities. In outings, they score over 1 goal per game, but they are also missing a lot.
There is no point in complicating things, as far as the prediction is concerned. The match will surely see both sides score. Here are a few important facts to support this view. After Leeds United, both opponents have highest records by the hits per game, and they know very well how to convert their opportunities. Brentford make 2 goals per home game. Aston Villa netted 56 goals in 31 rounds. What makes Aston Villa standout from other Championship contenders is set-pieces – they scored 20 goals from set-pieces, which is, certainly, the best record. The teams have similar issues – both are very weak in defense, having allowed 40 goals each. There is a mess in the defensive lines of either opponent. As for the historical record, the 2 latest head-to-heads were overscoring and saw a goal-exchange by the sides.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score.
