After their shock loss to Plymouth (0:1) and their FA Cup exit, Brentford are now focusing on the Premier League. After losing 0:2 to Tottenham, the team, led by Thomas Franck, got seven points from their next three matches.
First, the Bees travelled to visit West Ham and achieved a minimal 1:0 advantage. Next up, they're heading to the King Power Stadium for a showdown with Leicester City. Brentford didn't put up much of a fight from Leicester, bagging four unanswered goals. In the 27th round, Brentford couldn't quite get a third win in a row, with a 1:1 draw against Everton. With 38 points, Brentford is currently 11th in the Premier League table.
Aston Villa
Aston Villa is doing well in three directions. Under Unai Emery, the team beat Cardiff City 2:0 in the last 16, securing a spot in the quarterfinals. In the middle of the week, the Villans had time to go to Belgium and outplay Brugges with a score of 3:1 in the first match of the last 16 of the Champions League.
But their last performance in the Premier League wasn't so great. In the 27th round, Emery's team travelled to the capital to play Crystal Palace away. They lost 1:4, which is pretty embarrassing. Before the start of the 28th round, Villa had 42 points, which meant they were in tenth place in the EPL.
H2H Meetings
The first round match at Villa Park went to Unai Emery's team. Even in the first half, Birmingham club got three goals in against the opposition – Rodgers, Watkins and Cash were on fire. Then Damsgaard scored a cracking goal, making it 3:1 to Villa. The Bee' haven't managed to outplay their opponents for six matches in a row.

Expert Betting Tips
Brentford have more time to prepare and the best unloaded schedule, so they're the ones to beat. Villa had a flight to Belgium and a return to England in one week. We think that, with that in mind, the visitors might not be able to show their best game and play to the best of their abilities. And there's no denying that next week's game against Brugge is on the minds of Emery and the players. We suggest going for Brentford to win, which is the favourite.
