- Fulham only won one of their last five games.
- Aston Villa also has only one win in their last five games.
- Both teams registered only four draws in their last 20 meetings.
Both Premier League teams are looking to turn their situation around as they have struggled for form in the past few weeks. The goal this season is to stay up for another one.
However, as it is going, it is difficult for both sides because they currently sit in the bottom half of the league. The past few weeks haven’t been good for them.
Fulham’s Struggle
Fulham is struggling to hold on and continue their impressive start to the season, while Aston Villa has been struggling for points since the start.
Both teams have already played ten games this season and can only boast a few wins, putting them close to points. A win for either side would change their status.
In that case, we expect the teams to push for a top finish and keep pushing for a better season. We expect it to be a tough match, as both sides are looking to gather as many points as possible today.
Let’s check out the game and provide our Premier League picks as we check the Fulham vs. Aston Villa odds and EPL stats.
Fulham vs. Aston Villa Odds
| Fulham | Draw | Aston Villa |
|---|---|---|
| +190 | +230 | +150 |
This game is gearing up to be tight, and we can see it from the Fulham vs. Aston Villa odds as both teams are close.
Teams’ Winning Chances
Fulham has +190 odds of winning the game, while Aston Villa has +150 odds. Although it is close, Aston Villa edges Fulham as the favorite to win because their winning chance is 40%, and they’ve won 35% of their matches with these odds.
For Fulham, despite playing at home, they have +190 odds, and as a result, their winning chance is 34%, and over the years, they’ve only won 1% of their matches with these Premier League odds.
So, we can see that they don’t perform well whenever they have these odds. The match is more likely to end in a draw or a defeat.
However, we can’t write them off because they are a solid team and would continue to push for a top finish.
We expect them to deliver top-notch tactics and try to win the game. The same goes for Aston Villa because they need the win to get over their abysmal start to the season and push for a better finish.

Fulham
The season started well for Fulham after getting a draw against Liverpool in a tightly contested match.
The team worked hard against one of the top title contenders, and the two goals from Mitrovic were enough to help them share the points. In the next game, they secured another draw, but this time against a mid-table team.
After the first two games, they went ahead to get their first win of the season against Brentford in a five-goal thriller.
Three Game Winning Streak
They did well to edge the away team by scoring three. As a result, they were unbeaten in their first three games. But that soon ended when they played Crawley in the Carabao Cup.
After their Carabao Cup game, they faced Arsenal and narrowly lost to one of the most in-form teams in the league.
After that, they beat Brighton & Hove Albion before losing to Tottenham in another London Derby. Their next game was against Nottingham Forest, which they won in another dramatic fashion.
Performance Recap
The team, after seven games, registered three wins, two losses, and two draws, making an excellent start to the season.
But they’ve not been getting the correct result in the last three games. The team is yet to win a single game since they beat Forest. They lost 4-1 to Newcastle, 3-1 to West Ham, and drew 2-2 with Fulham.
Aston Villa
For Aston Villa, the story is somewhat different as they lost their opening match to AFC Bournemouth. But, in the next game, they registered their first win in the league in a tight match against Everton.
However, they lost to Crystal Palace in the next match before winning their EFL game against Bolton Wanderers.
Then, they continued the pattern and lost their next match, but for the first time in the season, they had back-to-back losing records as they lost to Arsenal, following their loss to West Ham.
It looked like they would get three consecutive losses as they faced Manchester City, but they worked hard to get a draw.
Premier League Schedule
And in the next game, they got their second win in this season’s Premier League schedule. But since they won against Southampton, the team hasn’t registered another win.
They’ve drawn two and lost one. Their last match was against Chelsea, and despite playing well, they couldn’t get anything, including a goal from the match.
EPL Standings
As a result, they currently struggle right above the relegation zone. The team is only one point away from the red zones in the Premier League and EPL standings.
A win in this game will take them to a higher point on the table, making them safe from relegation, and in no time, they can start pushing for a better finish this season.
