Fulham vs Aston Villa prediction 2024-02-17
Fulham and Aston Villa take on each other at Craven Cottage in an eagerly-awaited Premier League game. The Cottagers aim to build on a 3-1 win over Bournemouth, but this game will be anything but they will have a big fish to fry against the Villans. Both Bassey and Iwobi are back from the international duty, but the duo is unlikely to start. Important attacker Raul Jimenez misses out with injury.
The visitors, on the other hand, aim to recover from a 2-1 loss to Manchester United. As Unai Emery’s troops are likely to stick to their attacking style of play, we believe that there is a big value in betting on over 2.5 goals. All Boubacar Kamara, Ezri Konsa, Jhon Duran, and Emiliano Buendia are out of contention with injuries, while Moussa Diaby is pushing for a recall to the starting XI
Prediction: 2-2 (Draw)

Setting the Pitch: The Evolution of Fulham and Aston Villa FC
It is said the beautiful game of soccer transcends more than just kicking a leather ball around a field. Its embodiment is carved out from the richness of history, the diversity of culture, the thrill of passion, and the wilderness of rivalry. In England, home to some of the finest clubs, stands two decorated sides - Fulham FC and Aston Villa FC.

The Genesis of Fulham FC
The history of Fulham Football Club stretches back to 1879, making it the oldest professional football team based in London. Reverend John Henry Cardwell established the club under the name, Fulham St. Andrew's Church Sunday School. Fulham made their professional debut under the reputable Western League in 1898 before becoming a part of the established Football League a year after.
Throughout its rich history, Fulham has experienced a rollercoaster of successes, with triumphant domestic cup runs, league promotions and demotions, and historical involvement in European competitions. Their greatest achievement came in 2010 when they reached the UEFA Europa League final, only to succumb to Atletico Madrid.
The Aston Villa Odyssey
Aston Villa FC began its footballing journey back in 1874, credited to a group of cricketers from the Villa Cross Chapel who were looking to stay fit during the winter months. This historic club is a founding member of the Football League back in 1888, contributing massively to shaping English football into what it is today.
The Villans, as they are fondly called, hold the remarkable achievement of being one of the five English clubs to have won the prestigious European Cup. This success arrived in 1982, a feat that follows them into the annals of football history. Aston Villa has also clinched the English top-tier league title seven times, the last of which dates back to the 1980-81 season.
