Aston Villa vs Fulham Match Preview

Aston Villa head into Sunday’s Premier League clash with Fulham still searching for their first league win of the season. Unai Emery’s side did at least get off the mark in Europe with a narrow 1-0 victory over Bologna on Thursday, but they have found goals hard to come by domestically, scoring just once in five matches so far.

Villa Park has been a fortress in recent seasons and the Villans rarely lose in front of their own supporters — just one defeat in their last 24 home games. That record will give them confidence, although Fulham arrive in form after three consecutive wins, including an EFL Cup victory at Cambridge in midweek.

History, however, is stacked against the Londoners. Fulham have won just once in their last 21 visits to Villa Park, a run stretching back to 1973.

Both sides have struggled for creativity in the final third this season, with Villa’s expected goals (xG) numbers particularly concerning. Their highest xG in the league so far was 1.2 in a 1-0 defeat at Brentford, while half of their 1.6 xG against Bologna in Europe came from Ollie Watkins’ missed penalty.

Fulham’s underlying numbers are similarly underwhelming. They generated just 0.9, 0.9 and 1.0 xG in their last three league games, one of which ended in a 3-1 win over Brentford thanks to an own goal. Both teams are finding ways to grind results, but neither look capable of producing a free-scoring performance.

Aston Villa Win or Draw

Double Chance
1/3

Reason for Tip

Villa are yet to win in the Premier League this season, but their home record remains one of the best in the league over the past 18 months. Even when struggling, they rarely lose at Villa Park. Fulham have found away form difficult, so backing Villa to avoid defeat looks a solid starting point.

Over 7.5 Corners

Over 7.5 Corners
2/9

Reason for Tip

Both sides play with width and look to get balls into the box. Villa’s attacking shape under Emery consistently racks up corners, especially at home where they press high and sustain attacks. Fulham’s counter style also contributes, making over 7.5 corners an attractive option.

Under 3.5 Goals

Over 3.5 Goals
1/4

Reason for Tip

Despite Villa’s strong home record, they have struggled badly in front of goal this season. Fulham aren’t the most clinical either, particularly away from home. With both sides battling confidence issues in attack, a low-scoring affair under 3.5 goals looks likely.

Reason for Tip

Both teams have physical midfields and defenders who don’t shy away from tackles. With Villa under pressure to get their first league win and Fulham scrapping for points, this has all the makings of a competitive match with cards expected.

Ollie Watkins 1+ Shots on Target

Player 1+ Shots On Target
1/5

Reason for Tip

Watkins is still Villa’s main goal threat and desperate for a goal. He may not have hit top form yet, but he’s guaranteed to get chances at home. With Villa needing a result, Watkins should test the keeper at least once.

John McGinn 1+ Fouls

Player 1+ Fouls
1/12

Reason for Tip

McGinn thrives on the physical side of the game and often commits tactical fouls when Villa are pressing or out of shape. Against Fulham’s midfield, it’s hard to see him getting through 90 minutes without a foul.

Matty Cash 1+ Fouls

Player 1+ Fouls
1/4

Reason for Tip

Cash loves to bomb forward but is equally aggressive defensively. He’ll likely be tested by Fulham’s wide men and tends to pick up fouls in these battles. A single infringement from him is very realistic.

Rodrigo Muniz 1+ Fouls

1/7

Reason for Tip

Muniz leads the line with power and isn’t afraid to rough up centre-backs. He frequently concedes fouls when competing for headers or pressing defenders. He should commit at least one here.

Reason for Tip

Berge is a physical midfielder and will have to get stuck in against Villa’s energetic midfielders. With his size and style, he’s usually good for at least one foul per game.

Aston Villa vs Fulham Bet Builder Tips (5/1)

Here’s a carefully constructed bet builder for Sunday’s clash:

  • Aston Villa or Draw (Double Chance) – Emery’s side rarely lose at Villa Park and will be desperate to avoid another setback.

  • Over 7.5 Corners – Both teams play with width and regularly force set-pieces.

  • Under 3.5 Goals – Neither side is creating much, and Villa have scored just once in the league this season.

  • Over 2.5 Cards – A physical battle is expected with both midfields combative.

  • Ollie Watkins 1+ Shot on Target – Still Villa’s main goal outlet and always gets chances at home.

  • John McGinn 1+ Foul – Tenacious in midfield and almost certain to concede at least one.

  • Matty Cash 1+ Foul – Aggressive in his duels and has already been booked multiple times this season.

  • Rodrigo Muniz 1+ Foul – Leads the line with power and often penalised when competing for headers.

  • Sander Berge 1+ Foul – Strong physical midfielder who will have to disrupt Villa’s tempo.

Combined Odds: ~ 5/1

Aston Villa v Fulham Verdict

Villa will take heart from their midweek European win and their formidable home record, but Fulham are in better league form and arrive confident. Both sides lack a cutting edge in attack which points towards a tight, low-scoring contest. A draw looks the most likely outcome.
