Brentford vs. Aston Villa: Head-to-head record and past meetings

Aston Villa and Brentford will lock horns for the third time this season when the two sides meet for a Premier League match at Villa Park on Sunday afternoon.

The Villans are still in the top-flight title race heading into the final and decisive months of the season, boosted by a standout 2-0 win at Newcastle United last weekend, whilst Arsenal lost at home to Manchester United.

As for the visitors this weekend, Brentford are on a mission to qualify for Europe this campaign but have stuttered slightly in recent times, losing 2-0 at home to Nottingham Forest last weekend.

As mentioned above, the Villans and the Bees have already met twice in the 2025-26 term, with the West Londoners winning on two occasions in the Premier League and EFL Cup, with both of those matches taking place at Brentford's home at the Gtech Community Stadium in August and September.

Here, Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at the head-to-head record and previous meetings between Brentford and Villa.

Head-to-head record

Previous meetings: 24

Brentford wins: 6

Draws: 8

Aston Villa wins: 10

Only becoming familiar opponents over the last decade following a few scattered showdowns in the 20th century, Brentford and Aston Villa have now met on 24 occasions in a competitive setting, and the Lions hold the head-to-head supremacy.

Indeed, Villa boast 10 victories compared to a measly six for the Bees, and the capital club failed to win any of their first nine meetings with the Lions, who prevailed in five of their first six First Division battles between 1935 and 1947.

Brentford and Villa have only ever met outside of the league on three occasions, with the first two arriving courtesy of a 1952-53 FA Cup fourth-round tie, where the Villans were held to a goalless draw at home but triumphed 2-1 in the replay a few days later.

In April 2024, the two clubs played out a 3-3 stalemate, months before Aston Villa emerged 3-1 victors in December, and thanks to a 1-0 win in March 2025 courtesy of an Ollie Watkins strike, the former European champions went six Premier League matches unbeaten against the Bees.

That successful sequence commenced when Aaron Danks was in charge of the club in October 2022, when the caretaker Lions boss masterminded a 4-0 thrashing of Brentford.

In the past, the Londoners enjoyed an undefeated streak of their own, going eight without losing between September 2016 and January 2022, following a draw-win-draw-win pattern throughout that Championship and Premier League cycle.

The Bees recorded their first-ever Premier League clean sheet against Villa in August 2025, taking all three points in a hard-fought 1-0 win.

Making nets bulge for fun in the colours of both teams, Ollie Watkins is the highest documented scorer in this contest with six goals, all of which have come in an Aston Villa kit.
