Our prediction for this Premier League match:
Aston Villa will look to build on a 2-0 win over Newcastle United when they take on Brentford in yet another home fixture. The Villans continue life without Jack Grealish, and, in his absence, a man to watch in the home team will be summer signing Danny Ings, who has already scored two goals in the new Premier League campaign. Ollie Watkins faces race against clock to be fit for the Brentford game, while both Trezeguet and Traore remain in the recovery room.
The Bees, on the other hand, have been impressive at the back on their return to the English top flight, with the team eyeing their third consecutive clean sheet of the process. Since Aston Villa looked solid at the back in the 2-0 win over Newcastle as well, under 2.5 goals betting option should be considered. All Dasilva, Jensen, and Baptiste are out of contention for the newcomers.
Highlighted Player (Marvelous Nakamba):
Born on January 19, 1994 in Hwange, Marvelous Nakamba is a Zimbabwe international who plays for Club Brugge in the Belgian Jupiler League. Nakamba started his youth career at Highlanders and he made his senior debut with Bantu Rovers.
The Zimbabwe footballer played for Nancy before joining Vitesse in 2014. After scoring two goals in 67 appearances for the Dutch outfit in the league the central midfielder signed a four-year deal with Club Brugge in June, 2017 for a fee of £4 million. Nakamba made his Club Brugge debut in the league in July, 2017 in a 4-0 win over Sporting Lokeren.
Speaking of his international career, Marvelous Nakamba represented Zimbabwe in the under-20 level and he made his debut with the main squad in June, 2015 against Malawi. His main position is central midfield, but he is used as a defensive midfielder as well. Nakamba’s preferred foot is left.
Highlighted Team (Brentford):
Based in London, Brentford compete in the Championship and they were founded in 1898. Griffin Park has been the home ground of the club since 1904 and the capacity of the venue is 12,300.
The Bees have yet to play in the Premier League and it has to be noted that they made it to the FA Cup sixth round on four occasions (1937/1938, 1945/1946,1948/1949, 1988/1989). Brentford played in the League Cup round 4 in the 1982/1983 and 2010/2011 season and that is the club’s biggest success in the competition.
Brentford’s main rivals are Fulham and Queens Park Rangers and they take on each other in the West London Derby. The rivalry with the Cottagers is probably the biggest and you should bear in mind that the clashes between the two teams have their history of crowd violence. The colour of Brentford’s shirts is red and white and they wear black shorts.
