Team set-up

How will the two teams line up?

Confirmed line-ups are published about an hour before kick-off.

Home

Aston Villa

Villa are well drilled and have enough quality up front to punish mistakes at Villa Park. Everything they do starts with control of midfield.

Away

Fulham

Fulham are a practical mid-table side: solid without the ball on their trip to Villa Park, but lacking the creativity to run a game.

Risk radar

What could change the prediction?

The news that would move our numbers before kick-off.

If Villa name a weakened XI
Rotation or a missing key player would cut several points from their win chance. Line-ups are out an hour before kick-off.
If Fulham score first
The favourite has to chase the game, and both the draw and the upset become much more likely.
If a red card comes in the first hour
Going down to ten men changes the expected-goals picture completely, whichever side it hits.

Preview

Villa vs Fulham match preview

Aston Villa host Fulham in front of their own fans, and the Goexch numbers lean towards Villa. The expected-goals gap (2.25 for Villa, 0.75 for Fulham) is the clearest signal, and it is where our 71% for Villa comes from. Fulham's best chance is to keep it level into the last 30 minutes, when the draw becomes a real possibility.
