A buzz of excitement is expected for the first Premier League match of the 2025-26 season at the Gtech Community Stadium, where Brentford will be playing host to Aston Villa on Saturday. The Bees are in 17th place while the Villans are 10th in the league standings. Check out our match prediction below!
It is never an easy task stepping into a new club that has big ambitions after an impressive season, and that is something that Keith Andrews likely learnt over the last week. However, if there is one way that the new boss can endear himself to the Brentford faithful will be to win his first home match this weekend.
In the opposing technical area, Unai Emery faces a massive task of his own this season in trying to better his team's sixth-place finish from last term. Early signs suggest the side may be up to the task following a gritty performance in their season opener at home. Let’s get into the key stats!

Brentford - Aston Villa: Form Analysis
Keith Andrews' tenure as the new head coach of Brentford got off to a tough start with his side suffering a 3-1 defeat at the City Ground against Nottingham Forest last weekend.
The Bees have now failed to win their last three league matches either side of the summer break, which is a notable dip after going unbeaten in their six preceding top-flight games (W4 D2).
Last season, the hosts recorded nine wins, four draws, and six losses in their 19 home games, and scored 10 goals combined across their final three league matches here at the GTech.
Brentford scored a club record 66 Premier League goals in 2024-25!
Meanwhile, Aston Villa kicked off the new season with their signature resilient and structured brand of football instilled by Unai Emery as they held Newcastle to a goalless draw at Villa Park.
What made the performance all the more impressive was that the Lions played the majority of the second half a man light. The result marked Villa’s fourth clean sheet in their last five Premier League matches.
Despite the visitors clinching a top-six finish in the league last season, their away record was only good for 11th in the division (W8 D2 L9). However, they have taken all six points from their last two visits to this venue.

Brentford & Aston Villa Squad Analysis
Of Brentford's 66 league goals last season, 40 came off the boots of attacking duo Brian Mbeumo and Yoane Wissa, neither of whom are in the team, while Kevin Schade is not at 100%.
Wissa’s time at the GTech seems to be coming to an end, which could open the door for Igor Thiago to nail down the number nine role, and scoring last week was certainly a good start.
Jordon Henderson improved Brentford's midfield after coming on last week, and he, along with fellow summer arrival Dango Ouattara, could both be handed their Brentford home debuts this week.
Ollie Watkins scored the winner in this fixture last season!
Ezri Konsa was the player sent off against Forest last week, which will likely see Pau Torres step into central defence alongside Tyrone Mings in a flat back four.
Jacob Ramsey was one of Villa’s most creative midfielders last season, and his absence was noticeable last week - Emery will be looking to Youri Tielemans and Morgan Rogers to step up in that regard.
The hosts will be without Vitaly Janelt, Gustavo Nunes, and Paris Maghoma, while the visitors are missing Andres Garcia and Ross Barkley due to injury.

Our Brentford vs Aston Villa Prediction
It has been a very testing few months for Brentford with a new manager at the helm and several of their best players from last season either gone, on the way out, or unavailable at present.
Right now, it looks as though it is going to get tougher before getting better for Keith Andrews, and we expect the tactical genius that is Unai Emery to take full advantage of an unsettled opponent. Our Brentford vs Aston Villa prediction is Aston Villa wins the match.
