History of the Aston Villa v Fulham fixture

Aston Villa prepare to entertain Fulham at Villa Park on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Villans are clearly on top, having won 14 and lost only 5 of the 24 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Villa Park was just last season, in October 2004, with Aston Villa running out comfortable 2-0 winners in a Premiership match.

Recent respective form guides

Aston Villa are not in the best of form at home, with two wins, two draws, and two defeats in their last six. The goals for column just outweighs the goals against over this period, 8 to 7.

Aston Villa find themselves struggling down in 15th position in the league having picked up 34 points from their 30 matches. Fulham find themselves struggling down in 14th position in the league having picked up 35 points from their 31 matches.

FootyMad's prediction ...

Its not been a very profitable last few weeks for Aston Villa, and I'm afraid the Footymad team cannot see it getting too much better here. Look no further than honours being even at the end of this one. Score draw
