Prediction: 2-2
Brentford
Aston Villa and Brentford go head to head at Villa Park in what is expected to be one of the most exciting games of the Premier League round 14. The Villans suffered a dip in form, with the team failing to win the previous three league matches and, no doubt, they are desperate to get back on course. The good news for the hosts is that first-choice goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez has overcome his minor injury, but Jacob Ramsey remains in the recovery room.
The Bees, on the other hand, rolled over Leicester City 4-1 to move closer to the Conference League berth. As Aston Villa are likely to adopt an attack-minded approach as well, we believe that there is a big value in betting on over 2.5 goals. In their last encounter in the Premier League the two sides played out a thrilling 3-3 draw. All Kristoffer Ajer, Aaron Hickey, Joshua Da Silva, and Rico Henry miss out with injuries for the visiting side.
Highlighted Player (Leon Bailey):
Leon Bailey is a Phoenix All Stars Academy product who was born in Kingston on August 9, 1997. The Jamaica international played for the likes of FC Liefering and Trencin during his youth career, but he made his senior debut with Belgian side Genk in August, 2015 in a 3-1 win over Saint-Truiden.
The pacey winger quickly established himself as one of the best players in the Belgian top flight, but he scored only 8 goals in 56 appearances for Genk from 2015 to 2017. In the winter of 2017 Leon Bailey signed a deal with Bundesliga side Bayer Leverkusen for a fee of €20 million. Bailey is a left-footed footballer, but he is capable of playing on both sides of the field.
The Bayer Leverkusen winger made one appearance for Jamaica U23 team, but he eventually refused to represent the Reggae Boyz at senior level as he has personal problems with the association. It has to be noted that Leon Bailley scored 12 goals in 34 appearances for Bayer Leverkusen in the 2017/2018 Bundesliga season.
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.
