Fulham - Aston Villa predictions

The visiting team knows the task they face will not be easy. Beating Fulham on their own turf would be a major accomplishment, and it is always a formidable challenge.

Despite playing away, Aston Villa are more likely to win this showdown than the hosts. It’s not a done deal, of course. Considering the betting odds for an away win are set at 2.35, we’re in for a close game.

The Cottagers are coming off from a decisive home win against AFC Bournemouth that surprised a lot of people. The victory was far from impossible at odds of 2.57, but no-one saw the half time lead and the 3:1 victory coming.

Aston Villa lost their most recent Premier League match despite playing at home, which was obviously not the outcome their supporters were hoping for. The betting odds implied they had a fairly good chance of winning, but they quickly lost momentum due to an early-game concession.

Fulham have a notably poor defensive record when it comes to playing as visitors. We’re mostly referring to the 5 conceded goals over their latest 3 away games. They are playing as hosts this time around, but you should be aware before you put down any money.

With 7 goals in Villans’s net over their three most recent home games, online bookmakers are not giving them great chances of ending this game one with a clean sheet.

We already have a clash between these teams to use as a reference point. Earlier in the season, Aston Villa walked to a comfortable victory. It seems that the 2.35 odds make a lot of sense, considering the information at hand.

Over 2.5 Goals is easily the safest bet when it comes to this matchup. The best part is that it also maintains a decent betting value, especially if you use the 1.73 odds offered at William Hill.
