Aston Villa have been unable to replicate their strong form from last season, as they have quickly dropped to 12th in the Premier League standings.
Unai Emery’s side have failed to win in their last five in the Premier League, losing on three occasions in their previous four.
A response will be expected by the home side on Wednesday after suffering a heavy 3-0 loss at the hands of Chelsea on Sunday.
However, Thomas Frank’s Brentford have been excellent so far this term. The Bees come into this round after winning two of their last three, and they could end the night in the Champions League spots.
Odds
Despite their poor recent form, Aston Villa will be a short price on the moneyline this week. Brentford could be an interesting angle at +335.

Aston Villa vs. Brentford Prediction
Brentford’s attacking players have been in dazzling form throughout the season. However, their poor record on the road means that we fall just short in putting them forward to win the match at Villa Park.
Therefore, the preference is for the points to be shared in the West Midlands on Wednesday.
