Aston Villa lead the head-to-head record with Fulham by 12 wins to nine, and our Aston Villa vs Fulham prediction favours the hosts again. Kick-off is 20:00 UTC (21:00 CET) on Saturday 31 October 2026 at Villa Park. Villa have scored in all of their last seven games, whereas Fulham have won only two of their last seven. This is an early read, so team news may change it.

Aston Villa vs Fulham Prediction: Where the Game Will Be Won

Villa have won five of their last seven games in all competitions, drawn one and lost one, scoring 19 and conceding eight. Their latest results are 3-1 and 1-0 wins, and a 6-0 thrashing sits just behind them. Because they also play Manchester City on 24 October and Bournemouth in the EFL Cup on 28 October, rotation is possible. Even so, their attack scored in every game of the seven.

Fulham have won two of their last seven, drawn two and lost three, scoring eight and conceding nine. Their latest game was a 1-0 win, but they lost 1-2 the game before. Moreover, they had a 1-1 draw, a 0-0 draw and defeats of 2-3 and 0-1. On the positive side, they kept two clean sheets in those seven games.

Likely Game Flow

Expect Villa to start well at home and Fulham to defend in a mid block. The visitors scored in five of their last seven games, so a goal for them is realistic. However, Villa's recent goals make it difficult to see Fulham keeping the game tight for ninety minutes. For that reason, we expect a Villa win with more than two goals in total.

The Matchup That Matters: Villa's Attack vs Fulham's Compact Block

Fulham have kept two clean sheets in seven, and they have lost two games by a single goal, which suggests a side that stays in matches. Villa, meanwhile, have scored in every recent game and passed 2.5 goals in six of seven. If Fulham hold their shape for an hour, they have a real chance of a low-scoring result. If Villa score first, the game should open up.

Head-to-Head Record

FotMob's record lists 12 Villa wins, nine Fulham wins and four draws across 25 meetings. We could not confirm the latest result from the data available, so we will not quote a recent score. Even so, the record gives Villa a clear historical edge at home.

Injuries and Suspensions

We could not find a reliable injury list for either side for this fixture, because Villa play Manchester City first and Fulham have two games before it. No suspensions, referee or predicted line-up were available. Check the confirmed teams an hour before kick-off.

Our Betting Angles

Aston Villa to win is the main play, because Villa have scored in every recent game and Fulham have won two of seven. Over 2.5 goals is the value angle, since six of Villa's last seven games passed that line. For a bonus, both teams to score landed in five of Villa's seven and four of Fulham's, so it is a fair option.
