Brentford take on the visitors Aston Villa in the round 32 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Saturday, April 22nd at Brentford Community Stadium (London).
In the first half of the season, Brentford looked very promising, but lately they have noticeably declined. Going into this match, Thomas Frank's team has lost three games in a row and has dropped to ninth place in the table. It would have been one thing if they had only lost to Man Utd (0-1) and Newcastle (1-2), but in the previous round, they even lost to Wolves 0-2. And before that, they were only able to draw with Leicester and Brighton. I don't think they will win in the upcoming round either, as a very strong opponent is coming to visit them.

Aston Villa are in excellent form right now. The team from Birmingham has already climbed to sixth place in the table, only three points behind fifth place and six points behind the top four. In the previous round, Unai Emery's team crushed Newcastle (3-0), and before that they beat Nottingham Forest (2-0), Leicester (2-1), Chelsea (2-0), and Bournemouth (3-0) one after another. I believe that Aston Villa is much more likely to win the upcoming match and extend their successful streak than the hosts are. At the very least, I think they should be able to secure a draw.
Based on all of this, I think the logical bet is X2, and I'll be waiting for the guests to avoid defeat. After losing to top teams Manchester City and Arsenal in February, Aston Villa has gone eight rounds without losing in the Premier League, and they have only dropped points in one of those games. Meanwhile, Brentford has only won one of their last seven matches and two of their last ten. In the first half of the current season, Villa beat the Bees 4-0 in a head-to-head match. And back then, Brentford looked stronger than they do now, while Aston Villa wasn't as strong as they are in their current form. My prediction is that the visitors won't lose.
Prediction for the match: Aston Villa not to lose (X2).
