Fulham Stats & Team News
- Overall Record: 13-6-14
- Home Record: 9-2-5
- Road Record: 4-4-9
Marco Silva has once again done an excellent job at Fulham this season, with their top-flight status confirmed for another campaign. The Cottagers could yet challenge for a European spot, but they lack momentum after failing to win in four of their previous five.
Scoring goals has been an issue for the hosts, as they have failed to score in four of their last five. Creating chances hasn’t been a negative, but they have converted just 4.2% of their efforts across that period of fixtures. A clear negative is Fulham’s poor record against teams in the top half of the standings, winning just one of their previous nine.
Team News:
Kenny Tete (Ankle), Alex Iwobi (Hamstring), Kevin (Ankle)
Likely Line-Up:
(4-2-3-1): Leno (GK); Castagne, Andersen, Bassey, Robinson; Lukic, Cairney; Wilson, Smith Rowe, Bobb; Muniz

- Road Record: 6-5-5
Aston Villa could take a giant step toward securing Champions League qualification this weekend, as a victory would see them move eleven points clear of sixth-place Brighton. Unai Emery’s side have been in reliable recent form, winning two of their last three in the EPL.
However, their defensive record would be a notable concern. Villa have conceded at least three goals in three of their previous five. Meanwhile, the West Midlands club have also stuttered on their travels in recent months, winning just one of their last seven away from Villa Park, and they are winless in their previous four.
Team News:
Boubacar Kamara (Knee)
Likely Line-Up:
(4-2-3-1): Martinez (GK); Cash, Konsa, Torres, Maatsen; Tielemans, Onana; McGinn, Barkley, Rogers; Watkins
Fulham vs. Aston Villa Prop Pick
Ollie Watkins has been in red-hot form since missing out on a place in the England squad last month. The striker scored twice in last weekend’s win over Sunderland, and his excellent scoring record against the Cottagers has seen him net six times in nine appearances.
Head-to-Head Trends
- Aston Villa have won six successive matches against Fulham since a 3-0 defeat in October 2022.
- Fulham have lost three of their last four against Villa at Craven Cottage.
Fulham vs. Aston Villa Picks
Aston Villa would have been boosted following midweek results, and this presents a golden opportunity to move clear in the Champions League race. Based on their recent form and their strong head-to-head record, we expect them to claim maximum points.
