Brentford vs Aston Villa Predictions

• Aston Villa have failed to score in their opening four matches this season
• Brentford beat Aston Villa 1-0 last month
• Villa have managed just ten shots on target across their four fixtures this term

Bees to sting Villans once again

Brentford edged past Aston Villa with a 1-0 victory in the Premier League last month and they are fancied to secure another victory in this rapid rematch in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday.

The Bees drew 2-2 with Chelsea on Saturday, but Villa have struggled to pose any kind of an attacking threat this term while failing to win any of their opening four matches.

Unai Emery’s men have yet to score this season and their four matches have yielded just ten shots on target.

That’s an alarming drop-off for a side who were a whisker away from Champions League qualification last term, and their League Cup campaign could be ended at the first time of asking.

Villa drew 0-0 at Everton on Saturday, a decent recent considering the fast start made by the Toffees this season, but they offered little in attack and it’s the first time the Villans have failed to score in their opening four games of a season.

We predict that sequence to be extended this week with a Brentford win to nil and a 2-0 home win correct-score could also pay off.

Brentford have scored in all five fixtures this term, and having scored twice against Chelsea on Saturday, we’re backing another brace for the Bees this week.
