Aston Villa vs Brentford
England – League Championship
Date: Wednesday, 14 September 2016,
Kick-Off: 01:45 GMT+7
Venue: Villa Park, Birmingham.
Goalkeeper Pierluigi Gollini will be assessed after being forced off against Forest at half-time with a throat injury, with Mark Bunn standing by.
Deadline-day signing Albert Adomah could make his debut after injury and Villa boss Roberto Di Matteo also hopes to have Aaron Tshibola available.
Brentford new-boy Rico Henry is facing a spell on the sidelines after undergoing surgery to help correct a lingering shoulder problem.
Henry suffered two shoulder dislocations at previous club Walsall and has yet to make his Bees bow after signing just before the transfer deadline.
Danish defender Andreas Bjelland could start after impressing when replacing the injured Callum Elder in the 2-0 win at Brighton.
Bjelland's fellow Dane Lasse Vibe is available after serving a one-match suspension for being sent off against Sheffield Wednesday.
It’s obvious that the Head to Head stats has no effect on the game, the two teams have changed a lot. With this being their first game outside the English first tier anything can happen. Villa are only favourites on paper, but their performance in the opening six games is nothing to write home about.
Meanwhile, Brentford already have 3 wins from their first games, they have lost 2 and drawn 1. They are currently in 8 position with 10 points, 6 points behind the table leaders.
The game will likely end in draw to add to Villa’s fleet of draws this season, also i expect both teams to score.
