The final Sunday of Premier League action before the international break comes this weekend. Aston Villa will be looking to get back on track after being beaten last weekend, and they will be heavily favored to land maximum points when they host Fulham.
Before Betting On Aston Villa vs Fulham
There is no getting away from the fact that it has been an incredibly impressive start to the season for Aston Villa under Unai Emery. However, the Villa will be looking to get back on track this weekend after falling to a third defeat of the campaign in their previous fixture against Nottingham Forest.
There will be slight pressure on Fulham coming into the weekend, as they have dropped down the standings at an alarming rate. The Cottagers currently sit 15th in the league standings, and they have gone three Premier League matches without a win. Furthermore, their defeat against Man United was their second defeat in three matches last weekend.
Aston Villa have impressed in recent fixtures against the Cottagers, as they have landed three wins in the last four. Interestingly, that is as many wins as the Villa had recorded in their previous 13 matches against Fulham. Meanwhile, Fulham have struggled at Villa Park in the league, as they have picked up maximum points on just one occasion from 19 efforts.
The Cottagers have also struggled against sides that are starting the weekend in the top six. In their previous 14 matches, they have lost against top-six opposition on 12 occasions. Away from home, they have landed just five victories in 85 matches against sides starting the day in the top six.
