The Premier League returns with an intriguing contest on Saturday, 28th September, as Aston Villa host Fulham at Villa Park. Both sides have had contrasting fortunes early in the season, with Fulham aiming to maintain their strong push toward the top four, while Villa look to climb away from the relegation zone. Unai Emery’s side have been more dominant in recent head-to-head meetings, but their lack of form and winless streak of five matches promises this to be a much more intriguing encounter than first expected.

Premier League
In recent years, Aston Villa and Fulham have shared a balanced rivalry, though Villa have generally had the upper hand when playing at home. The last five league meetings between the sides have seen Villa claim all five victories - with Fulham failing to come away with a win since 2022. At Villa Park, Fulham’s record has been particularly poor, with Villa winning four of the last five Premier League fixtures in front of their home supporters.
Aston Villa team overview
Villa have endured a difficult start to their 2025–26 campaign - they have yet to register a win in the league, with three draws and two defeats leaving them currently second-bottom in the standings. Their home form has been especially poor, with no wins at Villa Park so far. Scoring has also been a major issue - Villa have struggled to find the back of the net consistently, producing just one goal in five matches.
Compounding the troubles, the squad has multiple injury concerns: players such as Andrés García, Amadou Onana, Ross Barkley, and Youri Tielemans are unavailable. With key midfielders and attacking contributors sidelined, Villa's depth will be tested. Their defense has also shown lapses, which Fulham may attempt to exploit.

Fulham team overview
Fulham enter the game with stronger momentum relative to Villa. While not flawless, their away performances have been more stable, and they have shown ability to compete in the league, as they are currently placed just two points outside the top four. The visitors have impressed since returning from the international break, recording three consecutive wins in all competitions, including two in the Premier League.
The squad is not without injury troubles: as of now Antonee Robinson and Kevin are listed as unavailable. Marco Silva’s side will likely focus on organized defense, swift transitions, and exploiting Villa’s lack of confidence.

Prediction
Given Villa’s struggles, Fulham may well believe they can at least earn a positive result on the road. However, the home side cannot be dismissed entirely - their historical strength at Villa Park and desire to reverse the poor start offer them motivation. We should expect a cautious and tactical affair, with neither side wanting to open up too much. Goals may be limited given Villa’s attacking problems and Fulham’s pragmatic approach on the road, and even more so unconvincing away record in H2H fixtures at Villa Park. A narrow Fulham win or a draw seems more probable than a Villa victory at this stage, but we go for a safer option of BTTS.
Three reasons we expect BTTS
- BTTS happened in 3 of the last 4 matches between Aston Villa and Fulham.
- Fulham have failed to keep a clean sheet against Villa in 6 consecutive matches.
- Fulham are in good form: 3 wins in a row in all competitions.
