Aston Villa - Fulham betting tips and odds

With the odds slightly in the hosts’ favour, they have a decent shot at walking away with 3 points. Still, Fulham can pull off both a win or a draw, so the hosts can’t afford to let their guard down.

Things are looking problematic for the visiting side. They are going up against a stronger team which also has a home pitch advantage. Victory is still within reach – they’ll just have to work harder than usual to get it.

Aston Villa’s defeat in their previous home game was painful, but it can’t really be used to judge their form. After all, they were up against Tottenham Hotspur , who are widely considered much stronger. Villa were already behind at the half-time mark, and they didn’t fair much better later on, which all resulted in a devastating 0:2 loss.

Fulham’s latest home game against Leeds United was a bit uneventful, ending in a narrow 1:2 defeat. While the loss is not great, we should remember that Fulham were considered underdogs going in – if only by a thin margin.

Whether they’re playing home or away, Aston Villa games are rarely as exciting as fans might want them to be. Thheir previous five outings all had less than 3 goals at the 90-minute mark.

The visiting team have had very bad luck when it comes to their concession rate. In the past 3 home games, they conceded more than 5 goals.

Desperation must be setting in over at the Fulham camp as we move into round 30. At 18th place, they are at risk of being relegated. Even worse, their odds of earning points against the current opposition are quite low.

The two teams already met this season in the Premier League, with Aston Villa taking the victory. It’s understandable why most bookies consider them the favourites, though the advantage is not overwhelming.

And Under 2.5 Goals is the perfect wager for this fixture. A quick glance at these teams’ statistics will tell you all you need to know about their concession rates, which is why it’s a fairly safe bet, generally priced at around 1.72.
