Aston Villa vs Fulham Predictions

• Aston Villa have won their last four home meetings with Fulham.
• Saturday’s hosts have won six of their last eight matches.

Cottagers set to struggle at Villa Park

Aston Villa’s winning streak came to an end at the Vitality Stadium in midweek as Bournemouth dumped them out of the EFL Cup, but Unai Emery’s side can bounce straight back against a Fulham side that also suffered midweek disappointment.

The Cottagers were beaten at home by Crystal Palace and have won just one of their four Premier League away games this season, and their record at Villa Park leaves a lot to be desired.

They have lost their last four trips to this ground and have lost six of their last seven encounters with Aston Villa home and away, and Saturday’s hosts have been resurgent after a disastrous start to the season.

Manzambi can fire Villa to victory

They beat Manchester City last weekend and have won six of their last eight in all competitions, including three successive victories on home soil.

Villa have conceded exactly once in three of these six wins and Fulham lost 2-1 away to Ipswich earlier this month, so a home win and a 2-1 correct score prediction is the best option.

Summer signing Johan Manzambi is worth taking on in the anytime goalscorer market, too. He lit up the World Cup with Switzerland and has scored in two of his last three outings for his new club.
