Fulham vs Aston Villa Betting Prediction 28-Sep (EPL)

Fulham vs Aston Villa is the clash of two teams that got to worry about their future in the Premier League. According to a majority of online sportsbooks, these two are among the top candidates for relegation.

Aston Villa managed to stay up last season, while Fulham only came to the top English flight in 2020. You can be certain that either team is going to give the absolute utmost in order to stay in the Prem for another season.

Of course, we’re still far from the decisive rounds, but in this league, every single game matters. Plus, the games played against direct competitors for staying up matter even more. Losing the Monday’s game could prove to be a big problem for the losing team later on in the season.

Fulham Looking for the First Points of the Season

Fulham is back in the Premier League after beating Brentford in the Promotion Playoff Final in summer. They spent one season in the Championship before coming back to the Prem. This team seems to be coming back and forth from the Championship, but that’s certainly not something they want. They want to establish themselves as a midtable Premier League team.

Unfortunately for Fulham fans, the season hasn’t started well for this team. In Week 1, they lost to Arsenal 3-0, followed by a 4-3 defeat to their former Championship rival, Leeds United.

100% Winning Score by Aston Villa

The good news for the Villans fans is that this team has won every single game this season. The bad news is that they’ve played only one game so far. In the first round, they beat Sheffield United, the team that was a real sensation last season but now seems to be struggling.

Nevertheless, the win has certainly given Aston Villa enough confidence to consider themselves the favorite against Fulham.

Clash of Championship Top-Scorers

Fulham’s got Aleksandar Mitrovic, Aston Villa now has Ollie Watkins. The two strikers had a real race to the top-scorer award in the Championship last season. Fulham’s Mitrovic finished the regular season as the top-scorer with 26 goals. Watkins, who played for Brentford at the time, was just behind with one goal fewer.

Then, in the Promotion Playoffs, Watkins added another goal to his name. Mitrovic was injured during the playoffs, so his goal tally remained the same. The big Serbian, however, did score two goals already in the Premier League, both against Leeds in Second Round.

Fulham vs Aston Villa Betting Picks

Aston Villa is the better team of the two, but Fulham are desperate for points. They need to go out and try to snatch at least a point. As their defense hasn’t been that great lately, they should focus on the attack. If they managed to score three times against Leeds, they should be able to score against Aston Villa as well.

This, of course, doesn’t mean Fulham will win this. Aston Villa also has a lot of firepower in the attacking department. If they go down, they can come back.

This is why our Fulham vs Aston Villa betting prediction is a draw. When it comes to soccer prop bet suggestions, perhaps betting on a high number of goals in the second half would be a good idea. The reason for this is that after an initial careful play in the first half, the two teams could go into an attacking mode. Once one team scores, the other will have to go all-in.
