Fulham host Aston Villa at Craven Cottage in the lunchtime kick-off on Saturday with the visitors in fourth place and clinging on to the last Champions League qualifying spot, and the hosts searching for one more meaningful win to finish the season with something to show for it.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The market is calling this a coin flip; the head-to-head record is doing no such thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kick-off is 12:30 PM local (7:30 AM ET) on Saturday, April 25. Villa arrive on the back of a 4-3 victory over Sunderland at Villa Park and sit 4th in the Premier League<\/a> on 58 points, level with Manchester United and three clear of Liverpool. Fulham are 12th on 45, safe and settled, and have just played out a goalless draw at Brentford after a 2-0 defeat at Anfield.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

bet365 have both sides priced at +155 to win, with Villa marginally the sharper move this week. Ollie Watkins at +175 to score is the anytime goalscorer pick that keeps appearing in the numbers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aston Villa to win<\/strong><\/td>\n+155 @ bet365<\/a>
(39.2%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nVilla have won the last five Premier League meetings against Fulham by a combined 12-4 and are still fighting for the top four.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Ollie Watkins anytime goalscorer<\/strong><\/td>\n+175 @ bet365<\/a>
(36.4%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nEleven goals and 29 shots on target this season, with an xG of 9.63 that he has comfortably outperformed.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Both teams to score \u2014 Yes<\/strong><\/td>\n-163 @ bet365<\/a>
(61.7%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nBoth teams scored in four of the last five Villa Premier League games, and Fulham have found the net at home in three of their last four.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Morgan Rogers anytime goalscorer<\/strong><\/td>\n+210 @ bet365<\/a>
(32.3%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nNine goals and five assists from 33 matches, with 31 shots on target \u2014 Villa’s most consistent creator and finisher from deep.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Our approach: anchor with Villa to win, add Watkins anytime goalscorer for the parlay, and Rogers as the long-shot third leg at bet365<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Odds correct at the time of writing. Please gamble responsibly.<\/small><\/p>\n\n\n
