This Aston Villa v Fulham clash has European implications, with the Lions aiming to return to Europe and Fulham aiming to secure their own ticket, with the top eight in the EPL guaranteed some form of action.
Fulham remain in the hunt for a top-seven finish despite recent struggles in front of goal, failing to score in four of their last five league outings. However, Marco Silva’s side have been strong at home, winning four of their last six at Craven Cottage.
Aston Villa arrive in fourth place and pushing for a return to the Champions League, having taken seven points from their last three matches. Unai Emery’s side boast a dominant recent record in this fixture, winning their last six meetings with Fulham, although their away form has been less convincing in recent weeks.
The Villa can leapfrog Manchester United into third position with a victory here, which would also put them 11 points ahead of Brighton, who are in sixth position.
Fulham v Aston Villa tips and best bets
Our EPL betting expert has assessed the odds and found some interesting Fulham v Aston Villa tips:
Villa to win 3-1
Villa have more ammo in the tank than Fulham, who will be missing Kevin and Kenny Tete through injury. The Lions recent record against Fulham is also exceptional and cannot be overlooked, having rattled off five wins in their last six games. We think Villa will win this comfortably.
Over 2.5 goals
These two teams have played high-scoring clashes regularly, with both teams averaging over two goals against each other, which if it holds up, should see the over 2.5 goals eclipsed. This is paying around the 1.80 quote with football betting sites.
Ollie Watkins to score anytime
The England international has scored in five of his last six games and looms as a major threat. Watkins is also offering some nice value at 2.90 to score anytime with Betway.com (Betway review).
