Brentford vs. Aston Villa Picks
Both teams had difficult first games, but Brentford’s was significantly worse. The Bees looked all over the place in their 3-1 loss, whilst Aston Villa still looked competent throughout, despite being down to 10 men.
Brentford are in for a difficult season, and I see no other result than another Villa win.
Other markets include 2 or more goals for Aston Villa, Ollie Watkins to score and Youri Tielemans to shoot from outside the box.
