Two clubs with European ambitions meet at Craven Cottage on Saturday as Fulham host Aston Villa in the 2025/26 Premier League.
Fulham arrive at this game looking to break into the top half of the table, as they sit just three points behind seventh-placed Chelsea.
However, just one win from their last four matches has halted their progress and manager Marco Silva’s side will need to improve in front of goal if they are to defeat Villa.
The Cottagers have failed to score in four of their last five Premier League matches, a sight which will provide Aston Villa with optimism, as they look to secure Champions League football.
Manager Unai Emery’s Villa side are unbeaten in their last six competitive matches, including last weekend’s dramatic 4-3 win at home to Sunderland.
Villa remain in the hunt to win the Europa League, and a win in this match could see them move 11 points clear of sixth place in the Premier League table.
What are the best bets for Fulham vs Aston Villa?
Match to end in draw, Under 2.5 goals
Fulham’s lack of goals has stalled their European bid, as two losses and two 0-0 draws make up four of their last five Premier League results.
Add an FA Cup loss to Southampton into the mix, and you will see that Fulham have failed to score in five of their last six competitive games.
By contrast, Aston Villa have netted 22 goals since they last failed to register on the scoreboard.
Villa have Champions League football all but secured, but Fulham will provide a stern test.
Silva’s side will be hard to beat, and for that reason, my tentative selection is to back the draw and under 2.5 goals to be scored.
