General match analysis
Brentford sit 4th and remain unbeaten after five matches, while Aston Villa are 15th and have suffered three defeats this season. The visitors create more chances away from home, averaging 15 shots per match compared with the hosts’ 7 shots at home, and their xG stands at 1.61 versus Villa’s 0.90. This translates into 1.5 goals per away match for Brentford, compared with just 0.5 goals per home match for Villa. However, the hosts have won 4 of their last 5 matches and scored 13 goals in that run, so their recent form argues against backing the visitors too confidently. Brentford have drawn both of their away matches so far, making a draw a realistic possibility, but the visitors’ advantage in both the number and quality of chances points towards a Brentford win.
View the statistical overviewBTTS - will both teams score?
In their last five matches, goals at both ends were recorded in 100% of Aston Villa’s games and 80% of Brentford’s, providing a strong indication in favor of BTTS - Yes. During this period, Villa averaged 2.6 goals scored and 1.6 conceded, while Brentford scored 1.8 and conceded 1.0 on average. The visitors’ chances of finding the net are supported by their average xG of 1.61, particularly given that their opponents have recently allowed chances worth an average xG of 1.92. Caution is still warranted: Villa kept a clean sheet in 67% of their home matches and conceded just 0.33 goals per game on average. Even so, the current form of both attacks points to goals at both ends.
View BTTS statisticsOver/Under - goals analysis
Aston Villa score an average of 2.33 goals at home, while Brentford concede 1.50 on the road, giving the hosts a solid platform to find the net. The visitors, meanwhile, average 1.50 goals away from home, although Villa concede just 0.33 at home, so I take a more cautious view of their contribution to the scoreline. The teams’ last five matches averaged 4.2 and 2.8 goals respectively, and at least two goals were scored in every Villa home match and Brentford away match included in the sample. With a projected total of 3.10 goals, Over 1.5 is the strongest pick; Over 2.5 offers a smaller edge, having landed in 67% of Villa’s home matches and 50% of Brentford’s away matches.
View Over/Under statisticsHT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario
The most likely HT/FT outcome is a draw at half-time followed by an Aston Villa win at full-time: the hosts were level at the break in 2 of their 3 home matches, while Brentford did so in 1 of their 2 away fixtures. The opening stages could be closely contested, as Villa have yet to concede before half-time at home, while Brentford have kept a first-half clean sheet in 4 of their last 5 matches. After the break, the advantage shifts to the hosts: they average 1.67 goals scored in the second half at home, while Brentford concede an average of 1.0 goals after half-time away. Villa have won 2 of their 3 home matches, scoring an average of 2.33 goals, while Brentford have drawn both of their away fixtures so far, strengthening the case for the hosts to settle the match in their favor only after the break.
