THE PREDICTION
Aston Villa at home again will be gunning for a second successive victory, but will likely find Brentford a far tougher proposition to break down than Newcastle turned out to be. Thomas Frank’s side have been excellent defensively across their opening two league games and are yet to concede a goal. They will look to frustrate the hosts, while at the same time attempting to impose their own passing style of play on proceedings. Either way, a tight affair is in prospect with goals expected to be at a premium as was the case in Brentford’s goalless draw at Selhurst Park last weekend. Therefore, backing under 2.5 goals over 90 minutes looks the shrewd play.
Tip: UNDER 2.5 GOALS
