Premier League preview: Aston Villa vs Fulham, Arsenal vs Bournemouth
Aston Villa vs Fulham
Aston Villa have won five of their last six matches and sit seventh on 57 points after 34 games, while Fulham occupy eighth with 51 points; the Match Odds at 10/13 for an Aston Villa victory reflect that strong recent form.
Villa’s Potent Road Record
Aston Villa have scored at least two goals in each of their last three away visits to Fulham FC, underlining their firepower on the road. With the Double Chance at Evens offering cover for a Villa win or draw, some punters might see value in that 2.0 price given these consistent road performances.
Goal-Packed Head-to-Heads
There have been over 2.5 goals in six of Aston Villa’s last seven meetings with Fulham, feeding interest in the Over 2.5 goals market at 8/11. Some punters might weigh up whether that 1.73 fractional price offers sufficient value, considering the goal-rich history between these sides.
Both Teams Finding the Net
Both teams have scored in three of Fulham’s last four home fixtures against Aston Villa, driving attention to the Both Teams to Score – Yes market at 13/20. Some punters might consider if that 1.65 price presents enough value, given the frequency of dual-goal affairs in recent clashes.
