Bryan Mbeumo’s Brentford could extend Aston Villa’s winless run to nine games this Wednesday when both sides meet at the Villa Park in an early match day 13 fixture.
Brentford who are fresh from a 4-1 comeback win against Leicester City over the weekend. That win lifted the Bees into the top-half of the Premier League table and remarkably within three points of the top-four, highlighting the tremendous work Thomas Frank continues to do at the club.
They will travel to Villa Park seeking their seventh win against Unai Emery’s team that slumped by 0-3 to Chelsea last weekend.
Villa enters this round of matches in the bottom half of the Premier League table, making this clash with Brentford crucial for their ambitions of this campaign. On the positive side of it, the hosts will likely take confidence from a four-match unbeaten run in home matches in the Premier league, a run which they have won two and played a tie in two while they’ve also lost just one of their last 11 Premier League home games (W4, D6) even if the last three all ended in a draw.
Brentford could rise as high as the fifth spot currently occupied by Carlos Baleba’s Brighton and Hove Albion if they get the better of Amadou Onana’s team in his absence.
Brentford’s Mbeumo’s win on the road could prove to be a very tall order as Brentford have earned just one of their 20 points on the road this campaign (D1, L5) – only newly-promoted Southampton have won as few away points this term. There’s also the small stumbling block that the Bees have never won an away league game against Aston Villa (D6, L3), only ever facing Stoke and Halifax Town more often on the road without ever winning in their league history.
