Achieving his second best tally last year with 16 goals in 38 appearances.Watkins has a habit of scoring against his former side too, with six goals netted in just seven appearances in the Premier League.Bet on Aston Villa to win at 23/20 with ToteBack Ollie Watkins to get back to scoring ways at 4/1 with BetfairWhere to watch Brentford vs Aston VillaLocation: Gtech Community Stadium, Brentford, west London, England.Date & Time: Saturday, 23rd August 2025, 3pm.TV Channel: N/A.More Premier League predictionsFind more predictions and betting tips from our expert punters in our match previews on the Premier League, Championship, League One and more!More Premier League free bet offersCommercial content notice: Taking one of the bookmaker offers featured in this article may result in a payment to talkSPORT. 18+.
