Fulham vs Aston Villa Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

Villa eye solidifying their position in the upper echelon with a win over Fulham.

Eighth-placed Fulham to host fifth-placed Aston Villa in the upcoming Premier League fixture at the Craven Cottage stadium in London.

Fulham have kickstarted their campaign on a positive note after securing three wins and two draws in their seven matches so far. They have scored ten goals so far. After two wins against Newcastle United and Nottingham Forest, they succumbed to a defeat against the reigning English champions.

Aston Villa on the other hand have been one of the most improved, evolved and upgraded sides since the last two seasons. They made a historic entry into the topmost division of European club football recently by finishing in the top four last season. They have managed to continue their momentum this season as well and will be looking forward to equalising second-ranked City in points with a win over Fulham.

Kick-Off:

Saturday, 19th October at 7:30 PM IST

Location: Craven Cottage Stadium, London, United Kingdom

Form :

Fulham (last five matches): L-L-W-D-D

Aston Villa (last five matches): D-D-W-W-W

Players to Watch :

Raul Jimenez (Fulham)

The 33-year-old Mexican centre-forward will be looking forward to giving a lot of reasons for the home fans to celebrate. After plying his trade with Wolves, Atletico Madrid and Benfica, Jimenez joined Fulham in 2023. He has so far scored 10 goals in 31 matches for the London based outfit. Fulham will heavily rely upon Jimenez’s attacking prowess to secure all three points against a difficult Villa side.

Ollie Watkins (Aston Villa)

The English centre-forward began his footballing journey with Exter City and Newton Town before wearing the Brentford jersey. After joining Aston Villa in 2020, he has so far made over a century of appearances and netted 63 goals. His last-minute winner against Netherlands in the semi-finals of Euro 2024 is still etched in the hearts and souls of English fans.

Just one blank in Ollie Watkins' last five matches 💥But with some tough fixtures coming up for Villa, will you be parting ways with the forward? 😬#FPL pic.twitter.com/aUa0o1KV7n
