Brentford vs Aston Villa Prediction 17.12.2023

• Competition: England &— Premier League
• Date: Sunday, 17th, December 2023
• Kickoff: 14:00 UK / 15.00 CET
• Venue: Brentford Community Stadium (London)

An extremely driven Aston Villa, who are on a spectacular pursuit at the top of the table, are set to face a struggling Brentford at the Gtech Community Stadium on Sunday.

Throughout the current Premier League season, Thomas Frank’s team has been experiencing highs and lows, trying to maintain consistent positive results. However, the latest period has been like a terrifying nightmare. The only bright spot in the last five league matches was against Luton, the team at the top of the relegation zone, who they soundly beat with a 3-1 victory. Yet their rapid descent doesn’t appear to be letting up. As a result of these poor performances, the Bees have definitely fallen behind in the competition for European places, and now find themselves closer to the relegation zone &— although they’re still a safe 10 places above it &— than they are to their goals.

This weekend, Gtech Stadium will host one of the top clubs in Europe, Aston Villa, who have been impressively performing in the ongoing Premier League season. Just over a year ago, experienced Spanish coach Unai Emery took over the Birmingham-based club. Few could have predicted his transformation of the Villans into serious contenders for the title. The current Premier League standings suggest that if their excellent form continues, they could be champions by the end of the season. The beginning of this season echoes an extraordinary period forty years ago when they last won the English title. This potential championship win has become even more exciting as it could end a 40-year wait for the title, if this squad has the championship-caliber needed.

Brentford vs Aston Villa Betting Tips: Aston Villa to Win

We believe there are numerous reasons why the Villans are poised to secure their 12th win this season. They should utilize every advantage available to them to at least keep pace with the top-ranked Liverpool. The energy in the Aston Villa dressing room is palpable, which is expected, considering they defeated the current champion 1-0 within three days, and duplicated the same result against last season’s second place Arsenal. With injuries plaguing Brentford, Emery’s team aims to maintain a flawless start. Facing the soaring Villans could not be more challenging for Brentford at this time.

In addition to managing the absence of several key players, including vital figures Ivan Toney (suspended) and top scorer Bryan Mbeumo (injured), they are in a state of turmoil concerning their current form. The crushing 0-1 loss to last-place Sheffield United in their previous match marks their fourth loss in the past five games. Even though Brentford has an outstanding record of four victories and a draw in their last five home games against this Sunday’s opponents, given their recent difficulties, we firmly believe that Aston Villa has the full capacity to break through Brentford’s defensive stronghold.
