Aston Villa host Brentford at Villa Park on Saturday at 3pm, with Unai Emery’s strugglers up against one of the division’s early surprises.
Anthony Eadson’s Aston Villa vs Brentford predictions, best bets and score prediction are below.
Premium Tips
Anthony Eadson expects another quiet afternoon for the Aston Villa attack, backing a low corner count and a Villa blank.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Under 9.5 total corners | 11/10 (BoyleSports) | Aston Villa have won just 15 corners in five Premier League games, the second-fewest in the division, and four of their five matches have finished with seven corners or fewer. Unai Emery’s side have also managed only 12 shots on target, the lowest total in the league, so they rarely camp in the opposition half. Six of the ten matches involving these sides stayed at nine corners or fewer, and the under looks a solid shout at 11/10. |
| Aston Villa under 0.5 goals | 3/1 (Sky Bet) | Aston Villa have scored only four Premier League goals this season, and three of those came in one afternoon at Tottenham. Brentford have been tight at the back under Keith Andrews, conceding just four times and keeping clean sheets against Tottenham and Chelsea. The Bees also kept Villa out in both league meetings last season, winning 1-0 home and away. Villa have drawn a blank in three of five, so a fourth blank at 3/1 is worth a look. |
