How both teams go into Brentford vs Aston Villa
As crazy as it may sound, it wasn’t until February that Brentford managed to win back-to-back Premier League matches this season. This marked a stretch of four games in which the Bees secured three wins and suffered one loss. Prior to this, Thomas Frank’s team went through seven matches, achieving only one victory and enduring four defeats. Consequently, they find themselves in the middle of the pack, currently lying in 11th place. After 27 matches, they have won 11 and lost the same number.
One place above them is Aston Villa, who are participating in the Champions League Round of 16. Villa’s league season has been characterised by inconsistency. As of this writing, they were defeated by Crystal Palace, meaning they’ve played seven consecutive matches, with just one victory, two losses, and four draws. Villa sits in 10th place, five points shy of the Champions League spots, with Brentford trailing them by an additional four points.

Aaron Hickey, Joshua Dasilva, and Igor Thiago will not be available for Brentford until April, while Sepp van den Berg remains sidelined.

Aston Villa team news
Pau Torres, Boubacar Kamara, Amadou Onana, and Ross Barkley could return for this match. Emiliano Martinez, who recently missed out for Aston Villa due to illness, may have recovered in time for this clash.
