Fulham's next opponents at Craven Cottage are Aston Villa, who travel there on Saturday the 17th of February for a 15:00 GMT kick-off. The Cottagers will be looking for a top-half finish this season, while Aston Villa, despite a recent slump, are still in the hunt for a Champions League spot. Will Fulham deny them the chance to climb back into the top four of the Premier League and put a big dent in their UCL aspirations? Well, keep on reading and all will be revealed.
🏆 Fulham vs Aston Villa: Who Will Win?
Fulham are currently sitting in 12th place in the table with 29 points to their name from the 24 matches that they have played this season. They are currently five points adrift of Chelsea, who occupy the 10th spot after spending billions, so a win here would not even be enough to propel them into the top half of the table. When it comes to current EPL form over the previous ten matches, they are sitting in 11th place with four wins, two draws, and four defeats.
At the start of the season most probably expected Villa to be hovering somewhere around 8th or 9th, but they have had a very good season so far, and are just one point adrift of a Champions League spot. However, they have dropped off it in recent weeks, and Villa fans will be hoping that their team do not end up unravelling and sliding down the table. They are 5th in the form table over the last ten matches, picking up 17 points from 30.
This is a tricky match to predict due to the inconsistent form that Villa have been showing, and a trip to Craven Cottage is never an easy match. Thus, unfortunately, as a Villa fan, I am going to predict this match to finish all square and with a 1-1 scoreline.
My Prediction: 🏆 Fulham 1 Aston Villa 1⚽
💯 Fulham vs Aston Villa Match Odds
Think of an outcome that can happen in a football match, and nowadays you will be able to place a bet on it. You can even bet on how many goal kicks a team will have, which just gives you an idea as to the kind of variety that is on show. Some markets are more common than others, and three common markets that I am going to look at are:
- Match winner
- Both teams to score
- Over/under 2.5 goals
Below you can find the Fulham vs Aston Villa odds that some top established and new UK betting sites are offering for the above football markets. The sports betting sites also offer their punters a variety of free bets, and those who want to find out more can do so by clicking on any of the brand logos that are in the table.
Fulham vs Aston Villa: Match Winner Odds
The bookmakers have Aston Villa as the slight favourites to go on and win this game, but they have not ruled Fulham completely out of the running for all three points. This can be put down to Villa's patchy form and the fact that Fulham have a decent home record, picking up 10 points from the last 15 that have been on offer. You can check out the match winner odds that are being offered for this clash in the table below:
| Team |  |  |  |  |  |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fulham | 2.80 | 2.80 | 2.88 | 3.05 | 3.10 |
| Draw | 3.65 | 3.65 | 3.70 | 3.60 | 3.65 |
| Aston Villa | 2.22 | 2.22 | 2.25 | 2.20 | 2.20 |
Fulham vs Aston Villa: Both Teams To Score Odds
The bookmakers are adamant that there will be at least three goals scored in this match, and I can understand why this is the case. I mean, it is not like either team and clean sheets go hand-in-hand. The odds are actually pretty short for this market, so you might want to consider it for an accumulator type of bet. If you want to bet on BTTS, then check out the odds in the following table:
| Team | | | | | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Yes | 1.48 | 1.48 | 1.48 | 1.49 | 1.55 |
| No | 2.48 | 2.48 | 2.45 | 2.32 | 2.38 |
Fulham vs Aston Villa: Over/Under 2.5 Goals Odds
Not only are the bookmakers certain that both teams will score in this game, but they are also pretty sure that there will be at least three goals. Villa are one of the highest-scoring teams in the league, while Fulham, for the most part, have not struggled while in front of goal this season. Those who want to bet on the over/under 2.5 goals market can see the best odds in the table below:
| Team | | | | | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Over 2.5 | 1.55 | 1.55 | 1.58 | 1.58 | 1.64 |
| Under 2.5 | 2.28 | 2.28 | 2.35 | 2.20 | 2.28 |
✔️ Fulham vs Aston Villa - Betting Tips
In this next part of my Fulham vs Aston Villa guide, I am going to give you my football betting tips for this match. However, before I jump into those, I just want to remind you to always gamble responsibly and not gamble with money which you need for important things. Once the fun stops, stop!
- Tip 1: Bet on a draw: The bookies have Aston Villa as the slight favourites to win this match, but their patchy form as of late is leading me to opt for a draw. Fulham will be tough to beat at home, and I can see this ending in a stalemate. If you want to back a draw, then you can find odds of 3.70 at 10Bet Sport.
- Tip 2: Bet on both teams to score: 67% of matches involving Aston Villa during the 2023/24 EPL campaign have seen both teams find the back of the net. Villa are easy on the eye going forward, but they do sometimes leave themselves vulnerable in defence. Fulham have some decent attacking players, and they will fancy themselves to get the ball past Emi Martinez, who just so happens to be one of the best keepers in the world. If you think both teams will score in this game, then BetUK Sports are offering odds of 1.55 at present.
- Tip 3: Bet on over 2.5 goals: Matches involving Villa this season have definitely not been boring as there has been plenty of goalmouth action. Of the 24 matches that they have played, only seven of them have had fewer than 2.5 goals scored in them. Furthermore, when it comes to Villa's away matches, there have been at least three goals scored in 67% of their matches. Over Tottenham sit above Villa when it comes to having three or more goals scored in a game. If you want to put money on the over 2.5 goals market, then BetUK Sports are currently offering odds of 1.64 for this market.
- Tip 4: Bet on the match to end 1-1: Betting on the scoreline can lead to some enticing potential gains due to the difficulty of the market. If you agree with me and think that this match could end up being a 1-1 draw, then Mr. Mega Sports are currently offering odds of 6.80 for this outcome.
1️⃣Fulham Update
The main ambition of some clubs in the Premier League each season is to just stay in the league for another season, and Fulham will consider the job near enough done as they have a 10-point gap over Everton, who currently occupy the final relegation spot. Just two or three more wins for the Cottagers would probably be enough for them to secure another season in the best league in the world. They have been inconsistent this season but wins against the likes of Arsenal and West Ham have shown that they have plenty of quality in their ranks and can match any team on their day.

Marco Silva currently has three players that he knows he will not be able to call upon for this match against Villa on Saturday afternoon. You can see the Fulham absentees in the table below:
| Player | Reason |
|---|---|
| Raul Jimenez | Thigh Injury |
| Tosin Adarabioyo | Knock |
| Kenny Tete | Achilles Tendon Injury |
2️⃣Aston Villa Update
Some Villa fans have been disheartened by Villa's recent slight slump, but I would like to remind them that Unai Emery's men are currently sitting in 5th place and are well in with a shout of claiming a Champions League spot come May. Yeah, the recent defeats to Newcastle and Manchester United have been far from ideal, especially since both were at Villa Park, but most fans of a claret and blue persuasion would have bitten your arm off if you offered them this position after 24 matches.

Emery, when compared to Silva, has much bigger injury issues as he will be missing several key players for this clash, and many other matches after that. In the previous match, Boubacar Kamara did some serious damage to his knee, and he will now join Tyrone Mings and Emi Buendia on the sidelines until the end of the season. You can see Villa's full injury table below:
| Player | Reason |
|---|---|
| Tyrone Mings | Cruciate Ligament Tear |
| Emiliano Buendia | Cruciate Ligament Tear |
| Boubacar Kamara | Knee Injury |
| Ezri Konsa | Knee Injury |
| John Duran | Muscle Injury |
| Kourtney Hause | Knee Injury |
