Aston Villa are a formidable foe
The first of our Aston Villa vs Fulham predictions is for the home side to win by at least a two-goal margin.
Despite the unexpected loss to Nottingham Forest last weekend, Unai Emery’s side appears ready to bounce back at Villa Park. They’ve won seven of their eight home matches this season with only one defeat in the League Cup.
Aston Villa’s home displays in the Premier League have been remarkable which is why they’re the favourites. On average, they score four goals per game and have hammered the likes of Brighton, West Ham and Everton.
This bet has won in all five of their league matches at Villa Park. With Fulham not having secured an away victory since their opening-day match at Goodison Park, Villa is expected to be the clear winner here.
Bet 1: Aston Villa -1 handicap (home -1) @ 2.64 Bet9ja
Watkins primed to shine
The second of our predictions is for Ollie Watkins to score. Aston Villa’s goals have been distributed among several players this season, but Watkins has been a consistent force in their attacking line.
The England international has found the net five times in the Premier League this season. He is getting plenty of scoring chances at Villa Park, averaging 3.5 shots per 90 minutes in home games. He also has the highest xG of any Villa player with 5.2.
Watkins’ side will be keen to make a resounding comeback. That likely means we will witness a rampant Aston Villa performance led by the forward fresh after his latest England call-up.
Bet 2: Ollie Watkins to score @ 2.30 Bet9ja
Goals on the agenda at Villa Park
Our next Aston Villa vs Fulham prediction is for Unai Emery’s side to take all three points, but also concede in the match.
The Villains have conceded in their last five domestic home matches and this bet has landed in their last four league matches at Villa Park.
The stats also made for good reading. Aston Villa have been allowing an average of 1.45 goals per game in the league this season, but scoring 2.36. Emery’s men have kept only two clean sheets in 11 Premier League games.
Fulham haven’t been the most free-scoring side in the league, but they have shown they can pose a threat. They have already scored away from home against Manchester City, Arsenal and Brighton this season.
Bet 3: Aston Villa to win & GG @ 3.05 Bet9ja
Second-half action on the cards
The last of our tips for this Premier League clash is for Aston Villa to win & GG in the second half of the match. We can back this at odds of 6.80 with Bet9ja. This means we require goals from both teams, as well as Villa to win in the second half of the game.
The majority of goals in Aston Villa’s home league matches have come after the interval. There has been an average of 3.4 in the 2nd half, of which Villa accounts for 2.6. This bet has landed in their last four home league matches. Everton were the only side who failed to score in the second half.
