Aston Villa vs. Fulham: Match Prediction
The Birmingham side disappointed their fans at the start of the championship. However, they have a chance to improve their standings in the upcoming game. Aston Villa still shows strong performances at home, remaining unbeaten in 19 of their last 20 Premier League matches (11 wins, 8 draws). Fulham, on the other hand, has won only two of their last 8 away league matches, suffering 6 defeats. Moreover, the London side has failed to earn a point in their last 4 consecutive league meetings at the Birmingham ground.
However, Aston Villa's attacking issues cannot be overlooked. Unai Emery's team has failed to score in 5 of their last 6 Premier League matches. Yet, they have been solid defensively, conceding no more than one goal in 7 of their last 9 matches in this tournament. Given this situation, the London side's attack is unlikely to shine. Additionally, half of Fulham's goals in the current championship came against Brentford, who are among the worst in terms of goals conceded.
My prediction: Aston Villa not to lose and Total under 3.5 goals
