Villa fans are restless. No wins in their first five games, goals harder to find than a pint on matchday, and sitting 18th in the table. Fulham, meanwhile, have quietly built momentum with back-to-back wins. History says Villa usually dominate this fixture — but right now, form screams otherwise. Could Fulham pile more misery on the Villans, or will Villa finally wake up?
Things to Watch Out For
- Villa’s Edge in the Fixture – 7 wins in their last 8 league meetings with Fulham, including five straight before that 3-0 slip in 2022.
- Fulham’s Villa Park Curse – Just one win in their last 21 league trips to Villa Park, losing the last six. They hate coming here.
- Goal Drought Worries – Villa have failed to score in their last two home league games. The last time they went three without a home goal? 2015.
- Fulham’s Hot Streak – Wins over Leeds and Brentford mean they’re chasing three straight Premier League victories for the first time in over a year.
- Villa’s Miserable Start – One goal scored in five matches. This is their worst league start since 1969–70.
Win Probability
- Aston Villa: 42%
- Draw: 30%
- Fulham: 28%
Villa are slight favourites at home, but if Fulham smell blood, this could flip fast.
Standings Check
- Aston Villa: 18th place (3 points, winless, flirting with relegation).
- Fulham: 8th place (8 points, chasing the top half, just three behind the Champions League spots).
The pressure is all on Villa. Lose again, and it’s crisis mode in Birmingham.
