Command Analysis

Fulham

Current form
Fulham can clearly put the opening period of the season as an asset. In seven rounds, the Londoners have collected 11 points, with which they occupy the eighth place. The fans have a glimmer of hope for a possible fight for the European Cups. Traditionally, many of the successes of the "cottagers" are associated with their performance on their home field, where they have not yet had a single defeat - two wins and a draw. On the eve of the international break, Marco Silva charges managed to create problems on the road to Manchester City, although they lost 2:3. Mexican striker Raul Jimenez has shown himself to be great, scoring three goals. Interestingly, he was called up to the Mexican national team for the first time in two years, and there he brought victory to his team over the USA.

Aston Villa

Current form
Aston Villa have drawn with Ipswich (2:2) and Manchester United (0:0) in their last two rounds.

It is alarming that in the confrontation with Manchester United they only made one shot on target during the entire match, although in general they have not had any problems with creating and converting chances throughout the season. Of course, we cannot ignore the successful start of Unai Emery team in the Champions League, where they managed to earn the maximum six points in two rounds, including a home win over Bayern (1:0).

21.00Tip and bets
Of course, Fulham should not be underestimated, the Londoners have been successful in the opening period, traditionally playing powerfully on their home field. However, today is too inconvenient for them opponent. In the four previous face-to-face matches, Aston Villa celebrated success, today they will be extremely motivated to take three points, considering that they were unable to win in the two previous rounds. We think, taking into account the odds, a bet on the guests suggests itself in this pair, who, moreover, are the underdogs of the bookmakers.
Our prediction is Aston Villa to win with Asian handicap (0) at odds of 2.14
Bet on total
In the two previous head-to-head matches, the opponents exchanged goals. At the moment, Fulham and Aston Villa have a perfect attack, the hosts have always scored in the previous six matches in the championship, the guests have scored in five of the seven games in the Premier League. Accordingly, we recommend the option of betting on the exchange of goals.
Second bet - both teams to score with odds of 1.62
Bet on corners
In our opinion, bookmakers are still underestimating Aston Villa in terms of corners. In five of the last six matches, the Birmingham team won in this indicator.
Prediction - Aston Villa win on corners with handicap (0) with odds of 2.10
