The match between Brentford and Aston Villa is a century-old rival, and the two sides have faced off in the past.
Now Brentford is facing the dilemma of three main players missing out on injuries and their strength is seriously weakened, and it will be interesting to see whether they can complete the comeback at home! At the same time, whether the veteran Strasbourg of Ligue 1 can beat promoted Malorian away from home is also a sweat. See what the results are!
1. Trapped beasts are still fighting! Can fearless Brentford gnaw Villa under the disparity of serious injuries
Brentford have had an up-and-down season and are in the middle of the table. However, the last two games against Aston Villa have been drawn, and they will be expected to build on today's encounter. However, the problem is not small, Brentford lost 0-1 to Sheffield United in the last round, and their form has declined.
In the last five rounds, the offensive performance has been poor, with only four goals scored. The defence is even more porous, conceding as many as eight goals, which is worrying. The worst thing is that many main players such as Rico Henry, Joshua Silva and Mbummo will not be able to play today, which will inevitably affect their combat effectiveness.
Relatively speaking, Aston Villa are in a good situation. They are in third place on points and have an impressive record. Although he drew 1-1 with Salensky in the last round, he has won six and drawn two in the last eight rounds, and the momentum is like a rainbow. The backline has been strengthened, with only four goals conceded proving its strength. Coupled with three consecutive wins, it is clearly the favorite this time.
However, the Villa side have been improving on the offensive side of the pitch recently, scoring just seven goals in five games, and an average of four goals per game is clearly lacking. In addition, two key players also failed to play, which more or less affected their odds of winning.
In this matchup, both sides have their own strengths and weaknesses. Brentford are a favourite at home, but they are not as good as their opponents in form and depth. Although Aston Villa have performed well, there is still potential to be tapped in attack and defence.
Considering injuries and turnovers, Brentford are likely to be defeated. However, the absence of key players has also added to the variables for the Villa team, and the final outcome is still difficult to predict. Fans, which side are you more optimistic about?
Some netizens said: Brentford's three irons were injured, the disparity in personnel is too great, and the probability of the Villa team winning is greater, right?
Some netizens said: I think the Villa team is also in good shape, with diversified offensive means, and should be able to beat Brentford.
Some netizens said: It's hard to say, there are too many variables in football games, and Brentford is not a fuel-efficient lamp, I think it may be a stalemate.
2. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon! Aston Villa stabbed the promotion hope away
Lorient, as a promoted horse, has performed miserably in Ligue 1 this year. The team has only won two league games, and the last six rounds have not been achieved at all, and the defensive line is very different, conceding an average of nearly two goals per game, which is worrying. In contrast, Strasbourg is much stronger.
Despite their poor away form this season, their historical tradition and overall strength are quite strong. On the offensive end, Mayer and Ahoro's are both top strikers in Ligue 1. The defence is also solid, with veterans such as Jagup Giagnoli and Mohamed Simkani in the hands and plenty of experience.
In this matchup, the strength of the two sides can be described as worlds apart. Although Lorient has the advantage of the home environment, the problem of defending both ends of the pitch is still prominent. On the contrary, Strasbourg's overall configuration is more balanced, with strength prevailing on all fronts.
Therefore, I am personally more optimistic about Strasbourg, and they have a high probability of winning this away game. Of course, football is always full of uncertainties, so let's wait and see!
Some netizens said: I see Strasbourg's Mayer is in good shape, and this game is likely to make a difference.
Some netizens said: The promotion of Malorion is too good, and Strasbourg will win.
Some netizens said: It is really difficult to predict the outcome of a weak team matchup like Ligue 1.
Dear fans and friends, today's two key battles undoubtedly exude unpredictable charm. Brentford are facing a difficult situation with a number of key players out injured, and it will be interesting to see if they can beat the Villa team in a desperate manner.
At the same time, Strasbourg, as a strong team in Ligue 1, can successfully defeat the promoted horses playing at home, which also makes people sweat.
Regardless of the final result, it is believed that both sides will show a wonderful situation of fierce battle, which should not be missed. Finally, as the old saying goes: football is so charming! Fans, the game has begun, let's watch the game together, let's be enthusiastic!
