Aston Villa vs Brentford History
The Villains and the Bees share a relatively short history in comparison to some other teams around them. They first met in 1935 as Villa took a 2-1 victory at Brentford in the old First Division. The reverse fixture at Villa Park produced a 2-2 draw.
Despite coming out on top in this particular battle, Villa went on to be relegated to the Second Division that season meanwhile Brentford ended in 5th place and within 2 points of runners-up Derby County.
With just a handful of previous meetings between the teams, there have also been only a few players to move directly between the clubs.
•In 2019, central defender Ezri Konsa left Griffin Park for Villa Park in a £12m deal.
•The following year, Villa also purchased Ollie Watkins from Brentford. The England striker made the switch in a move worth up to £33m, a club-record fee for Villa at the time.
Aston Villa vs Brentford Head-to-Head
Villa and Brentford met in a Premier League fixture for the first time in 2021. This was their first match-up in the English top flight since 1947 and it was also just the 15th meeting overall between these teams. Ivan Toney broke the deadlock in the early stages of the game before Emiliano Buendia restored parity just minutes later, and the teams couldn’t be separated for the remainder of the contest.
When this fixture was played in October 2022, the Villains won comfortably in what was their first match following Steven Gerrard’s dismissal as manager.
Danny Ings scored twice with Leon Bailey and Ollie Watkins also finding the net in a 4-0 success. This was the first time Villa had beaten Brentford by four goals or more since a 5-0 triumph back in 1938, which was only their third-ever meeting.
In the reverse fixture at Gtech Community Stadium in April 2023, Ivan Toney had put the Bees in front before Douglas Luiz’s late goal rescued a point for Villa.
