Aston Villa vs Fulham odds
Heading into this latest round of Premier League fixtures Aston Villa find themselves sitting in fifth place on 22 points, five points behind leaders Manchester City. The hosts suffered a 2-0 loss at Nottingham Forest last time out, ending a six-match unbeaten streak (five wins and one draw). However, Unai Emery’s men have won their last 12 Premier League home games, the club’s longest top-flight winning run at Villa Park since October 1983 (13).
The Villans are also looking to win each of their opening six home matches of a top-flight campaign for the first time since 1932-33 (opening eight). Furthermore, Villa have won their last five Premier League matches against sides from London, beating Fulham, Spurs, Crystal Palace, Chelsea and West Ham United in this run. They have never won six in a row against London teams in their league history.
Fulham, meanwhile, suffered a 1-0 loss to Manchester United at home last time out, which stretched their winless streak to three (one draw and two losses), leaving them 15th on 12 points. Troubling is the fact Fulham have lost 12 of their last 14 top-flight games against sides starting the day in the top six of the table (one win and one draw). Away from home, they have only won five out of 85 such matches in their Premier League history (22 draws and 58 losses).
Also, since beating Everton in their opening game of the campaign, Fulham haven’t registered a win against a team that wasn’t in the Championship last season. Of their last seven wins in the competition, three were against the teams relegated last season (Leeds, Leicester, Southampton), two against promoted teams (Luton, Sheffield United) and the other two were against Everton.
