“Brentford” after exceeding the limit of 40 points stopped consistently scoring points. He is unable to win for 5 rounds in a row and is gradually moving towards the middle of the table. However, Thomas Frank’s counter-attacking model continues to be a tangible threat to any Premier League club. For example, in the last two games Newcastle (1-2) and Wolves (0-2) managed to get maximum points against Brentford only by a miracle.
It is worth noting that at home, the team is more productive in attack, as evidenced by 62% of goals scored at home.
Aston Villa went on an 8-match unbeaten streak with 7 victories with an aggregate score of 15-1. The arrival of Unai Emery last November changed Villan’s attacking game to a new level. Thanks to this, in 2023 they are leading in the number of points scored (32) and “dry” matches (8). At the same time, the top scorer in the Premier League in this period turned out to be Ollie Watkins (11+3), who overtook Erling Haaland himself.
As a result, Aston Villa climbed to 6th place in the table and reduced the gap to the European Cup zone to 3 points.
Despite Aston Villa’s excellent results in recent times, they are not distinguished by a solid defense. Under Unai Emery, the Lions are averaging 1.44xg per game. I think Brentford will easily take advantage of the opponent’s mistakes.
