Brentford will be desperate to end their home woes when they welcome Aston Villa to the Brentford Community Stadium on March 8, 2025. The Bees have been absolutely flying on their travels but can't seem to get it together on their own patch. Would you believe they haven't won a single home game in their last six attempts? That's right—zero wins, two draws, and four losses at home. Ouch! Thomas Frank's men have been road warriors though, picking up impressive away victories against Leicester (4-0), West Ham (1-0), Crystal Palace (2-1), and Southampton (5-0) in recent months. The contrast between their home and away form is like night and day. They've managed to score just 4 goals at home while conceding 11. Not great numbers for the home crowd to digest.

Unai Emery's Aston Villa outfit comes into this one with their tails up after a cracking 3-1 win against Club Brugge in the Champions League. They've been pretty solid overall with 5 wins, 3 draws, and only 2 losses in their last 10 matches.Their away form has been a bit hit-and-miss though. Just one win in their last three road trips doesn't exactly scream consistency. They've found the net 4 times and let in 7 goals during those away days. But hey, Villa have shown they can mix it with the big boys this season, as evidenced by their recent 2-1 home win against Chelsea in the Premier League.

The bookies have this one as a tight affair with Brentford given a slight edge at 42.1% chance of winning compared to Villa's 32.9%. A draw is sitting at 25%.What's interesting is how these teams have handled the pressure of being favorites. Villa have started as favorites in 8 of their last 10 matches and managed to deliver the goods 62.5% of the time. Not bad, right?Brentford, on the other hand, were favorites in half of their last 10 games but only came through 40% of the time. Can they handle the expectation here?With Brentford's strange home vs away form split and Villa's European exploits possibly causing some tired legs, this has all the makings of an unpredictable Premier League encounter. The Brentford Community Stadium crowd will be hoping their team can finally give them something to cheer about on home soil.

When these two sides meet, keep your eyes on the midfield tussle. Villa's engine room has been purring nicely in recent weeks, while Brentford's midfielders have been crucial to their away successes.Can Brentford translate that away form to home soil? Will Villa's European exploits cause fatigue? These questions will be answered when the whistle blows at the Brentford Community Stadium.One thing's for sure—with Brentford's leaky home defense (11 goals conceded in 6 games) and Villa's ability to find the net (18 goals in their last 10), we might be in for some action. But then again, football loves to make fools of us all, doesn't it?
