Villa Look to Maintain Home Dominance

Villa’s performances at home have been impressive. They average over 1.3 xG per match and win nearly two-thirds of their home xG battles. With 10.6 expected points from their last eight games, results haven’t always reflected performances — suggesting more wins are coming.

Their front line continues to fire. Ollie Watkins remains the focal point, supported by Morgan Rogers and Jadon Sancho, both offering creativity and pace. Rogers, in particular, has seven goals and five assists this season, showing consistency and end product in advanced positions.

Brentford, meanwhile, have mixed away form. Despite averaging 1.9 xG per game in recent fixtures, they’ve struggled to convert that into wins, conceding 1.5 xGA on average and dropping points from strong positions. Their open setup often leaves space for opponents to exploit, something Villa’s attackers should relish.

Brentford Struggle to Defend on the Road

Thomas Frank’s side face an uphill task at Villa Park. They’ve won only 45% of their away xG battles this season and conceded a steady flow of big chances. Despite Thiago and Bryan Mbeumo offering threat in transition, their defensive lapses continue to cost them.

Head-to-head history supports a tight contest, with Villa edging it slightly — three wins in the last five meetings, including a 3-1 home victory in 2024. Brentford have scored in four of their last five visits, so goals shouldn’t be in short supply.

Key Player to Watch

Morgan Rogers (Aston Villa) – Rogers has been at the heart of Villa’s attacking success. With 12 goal involvements in 23 starts, his consistency and attacking involvement make him a strong pick for a goal or assist market.
