Brentford-Aston Villa is a match of the 17th day of the Premier League and is played on Sunday at 3 pm: tv, formations, predictions.
Third place, two points off the top. And with the feeling that they can have their say until the end of the season especially for one simple reason: if you have someone like Emery on the bench anything can happen.
Aston Villa is a team that so far has done what no one expected: that is, to be there, right attached to Liverpool, which leads the Premier and ahead, even, of Manchester City. A string of eight straight useful results – with two draws – has allowed the Villans to dream big, perhaps hoping to repeat the Leicester feat of a little while ago. But much of the future lies on the difficult pitch at Brentford, a team that is not exactly experiencing this great moment, but one that has a quiet enough league table not to play with nagging. And we know very well how a clear head can give that extra something needed in all latitudes.
The two teams faced each other in a friendly last July: 3-3 the final. And Aston Villa in the last five crossings, including this one just recounted, has won only once, in 2022, with a four-zero victory that left no room for comment at the time. We therefore believe it is time for the second blow.
The prediction
Aston Villa too fit at the moment to think that they cannot succeed in the outside statement. Emery in the cup during last week also made turnover and so the eleven that will take the field should be fresh to be able to bite the match. Race, finally, from at least three goals overall.
