The record of direct confrontations of the last 3 years is favorable to the home team, which in the last 5 matches won 2 and tied 3. The home / away condition deserves particular attention, because despite this being a match between 18th and 10th of the league table, in reality it is a match between the 7th classified in home games and the 11th as a visitor.

We emphasize that the landlords no longer lost there were 7 matches in a row in this competition. In this game against Aston Villa, coach Thomas Frank must line up in the usual 3-4-3, with Romaine Sayers responsible for creating and organizing the offensive process.

For the league, Aston Villa won 12 points out of 30 possible points, after 3 wins, 3 draws and 4 losses in the last 10 home matches.

The Aston Villa left for this game with a draw, 3-3, in the reception at Sheffield United, adding the fourth consecutive game without beating in this competition: Andre Green, Mings and Abraham scored the goals. However, one of the great problems of this team is in the away matches, since it won only 4 of its 15 matches. In this game against Brentford, coach Dean Smith must play in the usual tactical system, that is, 4-3-3, favoring the maintenance of ball possession and organized attacks. Tammy Abraham is still the great highlight of this team, with 20 goals scored. Lansbury, Nyland, Tuanzebe and Grealish will be absent from this game, due to an injury.
