Predictions & Statistics

Fulham are currently 12 in the standings with 45 points from 33 matches. Across the campaign, they have posted 13 wins, 6 draws, and 14 losses, while the 43:46 goal ratio supports the view of poor form over their recent run. Going forward they rely heavily on Harry Wilson (10 goals), Raúl Jiménez (9 goals), A. Iwobi (4 goals), with creative support from Harry Wilson (6 assists), Samuel Chukwueze (4 assists), Raúl Jiménez (3 assists), and defensively they have been quite vulnerable. At home, they have returned 9 wins, 2 draws, and 5 losses, a split that suggests a very strong split record. They are operating from a relatively stable mid-table position. In football terms, they tend to show a more cautious and defensive approach. Although they are without Kevin, K. Tete, A. Iwobi, that absence is especially important because it affects one of their main scoring outlets.

Aston Villa arrive from the upper part of the table, holding 4 place with 58 points after 33 matches. The record of 17 wins, 7 draws, and 9 defeats, together with a 43:38 goal balance, points toward mixed form over their recent run. Much of their attacking threat comes through Ollie Watkins (11 goals), Morgan Rogers (9 goals), Emiliano Buendía (5 goals), with creative support from Morgan Rogers (5 assists), Lucas Digne (5 assists), Y. Tielemans (4 assists), while at the back they have looked fairly stable. Away from home, their split return of 6 wins, 5 draws, and 5 losses fits a fairly balanced split record. They are pushing for upper-table objectives and still have something important to play for. Stylistically, they usually display balanced attacking football. They are not at full strength, with Alysson, B. Kamara, T. Abraham unavailable, although the overall attacking core still looks largely intact.
