Team news and form
Aston Villa have four points from their opening five Premier League games (W1, D1, L3), though the reigning Europa League champions did win for the first time this season against Tottenham before the break. Unai Emery’s side will hope to repeat last season’s run from matchday six, when they won 12 of their next 13 top-flight games (L1). Successive home league defeats this term leave them close to losing their first three home matches of a league campaign for only the third time in their history.
Brentford are one of five Premier League sides yet to lose this season (W2, D3), and they hope to reach a first European campaign after narrowly missing out in 2025/26. Their seven-match unbeaten league run (W2, D5) is their longest ongoing run in the Premier League, and all three away games in that run ended level. Away trips have been difficult for Keith Andrews’ side, who are winless in seven away league games (D5, L2). A win would make Andrews only the third manager to win his first three Premier League meetings with Emery.
Head-to-head – Last 5 meetings
Why we’re backing it
Two weak records meet in this match. Villa have lost both of their home league games this season, and Brentford have won once in their last 11 away league games and none in their last seven.
All three of Brentford’s away trips this term ended in draws, making the split result at attractive value the logical option.
