On Saturday, 17th February, as part of the 25th round of the Premier League, Fulham will host Aston Villa on their home turf. Last weekend, the "Lions" were defeated by Manchester United with a score of 1:2, whereas "The Cottagers" broke their streak of six losses by overcoming Bournemouth (3:1).

Aston Villa: Martinez; Cash, Torres, Lenglet, Digne; Luiz, McGinn; Diaby, Tielemans, Bailey; Watkins.
Stadium
The match will take place in London at the Craven Cottage stadium.
Fulham
Sitting at 12th place in the Premier League standings and having a 10-point gap from the relegation zone, Fulham no longer has any significant tournament tasks for the rest of the season. The "Cottagers" have suffered only one defeat in the last 5 rounds, with 2 wins and 2 draws. After sharing points with crisis-ridden Everton (0:0) and Burnley (2:2), Londoners delighted their fans last weekend with a home victory over Bournemouth with a score of 3:1. Rodrigo Muniz scored two goals against the "Cherries", while another goal was accounted for by Bobby Decordova-Reid.
It's worth noting that five of the last seven Fulham Premier League matches on home territory ended with wins for the black and white team. In total, the hosts have scored 22 times in 12 home matches, conceding 13 goals. Having been knocked out of both domestic cups, Marco Silva's charges can now focus on successful performances in the championship.
Aston Villa
Since the appointment of Unai Emery as their manager last season, Aston Villa has been a delight to watch and the 2023/2024 campaign is no exception. Currently, the Birmingham team is in 5th place in the Premier League, lagging behind the league's top four by just 1 point. However, the "Lions" have only won 2 out of their last 7 league matches with two draws and three losses. After thrashing Sheffield United with a score of 0:5, Villa fell at home to Manchester United (1:2) last weekend.
Already at the 17th minute, Rasmus Hojlund stood out in his fifth consecutive Premier League game; and although Douglas Luiz levelled the score in the second half, substitute Scott McTominay brought all three points to the Mancunians - the Scot's 86th-minute goal deprived Aston Villa of the chance to once again overtake Tottenham. Aston Villa was knocked out of the FA Cup by Chelsea in the 1/16 final replay but made it directly into the 1/8 final of the Europa League.
Head to Head
The "Lions" have emerged victorious in four of their last five meetings with Fulham, with the only blemish in this series being a 3:0 defeat at Craven Cottage last season. The match in the first half of the current season ended in a victory for the Birmingham side with a score of 3:1.
Match Forecast for Fulham vs Aston Villa
If Fulham scores in a home Premier League match, they usually achieve success in the current campaign. However, in recent weeks, Londoners' defence has been regularly failing, which the fight-for-top-four motivated "Lions" won't miss to exploit. Unai Emery's team is eager to make up for their two losses in the last two games, hence, my money is on their victory with a 0 handicap.
Forecast for total
Only in one of the last four games between these two teams did both sides score - although this happened in the first half of the current season. Both sides have quality forwards, so I expect another high-scoring encounter.
Forecast for corners
Aston Villa will aim to take possession of the ball and impose their style of play on the Londoners - the visitors need to win at all costs. I'm betting on a victory for the Birmingham side in terms of corners.
Forecast for yellow cards
Aston Villa earns an average of 2.8 yellow cards per match; for Fulham, it's 2.2. I confidently predict that the visitors will at least not lose in this regard.
Forecast for a score
I'm predicting an exact score of 1:2 in favour of Aston Villa.
