Brentford and Aston Villa are separated by just one place in the Premier League table as they play at the Gtech Community Stadium on Saturday evening.
Both teams are in identical form going into this one, having each won three, drawn one and lost one of their last five games.
Brentford have the advantage of playing at home though, and have also had an extra few days' rest as Villa played in midweek.
However, Unai Emery's side will be buoyed by their late 3-1 win at Club Brugge in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League (UCL) last-16 tie, and will travel to West London full of confidence.
Nonetheless, with three draws over the previous five H2Hs too, this is a particularly match to call.
How the bookies view it: Brentford slightly favoured
Brentford are slight favourites given home advantage, priced at 6/5 by BoyleSports. A Villa win is rated at 19/10 odds, with a draw at 13/5.
Recent head-to-head: Villa blitzed Bees
Villa raced into a three-goal lead in the first half at home to Brentford in the reverse fixture, with Morgan Rogers, Ollie Watkins and Matty Cash all on the scoresheet. Mikkel Damsgaard scored a consolation goal for the Bees in the second half.
Players to watch: Watkins to haunt former club again?
Yoane Wissa has scored in each of his last two games for Brentford, and now boasts 14 goals for the season. Both of those strikes were to open the scoring, and BoyleSports have generously priced him at 11/2 to do the same.
Ollie Watkins netted against his former club in the reverse fixture, and is 13/8 with BoyleSports to score anytime.
Predicted lineups
Christian Norgaard and Mathias Jensen could return from injury for Brentford, but Rico Henry, Sepp van den Berg, Aaron Hickey, Igor Thiago, Josh Dasilva and Gustavo Nunes are still on the treatment table.
Villa have a much healthier-looking squad, with Ross Barkley and Amadou Onana the only likely absentees through injury.
Brentford: Flekken, Ajer, Collins, Pinnock, Lewis-Potter, Janelt, Norgaard, Mbeumo, Damsgaard, Schade, Wissa.
Aston Villa: Martinez, Cash, Konsa, Disasi, Maatsen, McGinn, Tielemans, Asensio, Rogers, Ramsey, Watkins.
Anything else catch the eye?
All five previous H2Hs have seen both teams score, so Both Teams To Score (BTTS) in this one seems like a safe bet. 21 goals have also been scored over those too at an average of over four per game, so a 13/10 price from BoyleSports for BTTS and Over 3.5 Total Goals seems like a worthy punt.
