Aston Villa vs Fulham Prediction, 6:30 p.m. May 3: Nothing to lose

TPO - Football prediction Aston Villa vs Fulham, round 35 of the Premier League at 6:30 p.m. on May 3. Update information on the two teams' squads and form before the match. Aston Villa were eliminated from the Champions League and FA Cup respectively. Now, they have nothing to lose.

Prediction before the match Aston Villa vs Fulham

Aston Villa are having an impressive season. After finishing in the top 4 last season, Unai Emery's team has been questioned due to their limited squad. In fact, they have had periods of crisis and unstable performance because they had to divide their strength for the European Cup 1. However, Aston Villa have overcome the situation at the right time to go far.

Of the four competitions they have competed in, Aston Villa have only been eliminated early in the Carabao Cup. In the Champions League, they caused a surprise by qualifying straight for the round of 16 and crushing Club Brugge to reach the quarter-finals. Here, Aston Villa lost to PSG after two matches, but can hold their heads high thanks to a 3-2 comeback win in the second leg.

However, the aftermath of their comeback against PSG saw Aston Villa suffer two more crucial defeats. They lost 1-2 to Man City at the Etihad in the last minute and fell behind in the race for a top-five finish in the Premier League this season. Then Aston Villa were defeated 0-3 by Crystal Palace in the FA Cup semi-finals.

A week has passed since that forgettable afternoon at Wembley. Now it is time for Aston Villa to focus all their efforts on securing a ticket to the European Cup 1 next season. Before round 35, Villa are in 7th place, 3 points behind Nottingham and Chelsea, 4 points behind Man City and 5 points behind Newcastle. These will be their direct opponents. Aston Villa must win against Fulham to keep their hopes of returning to the top 5 alive.

A return to Villa Park will give Aston Villa an extra boost. They are unbeaten in their last 16 Premier League home games (W9 D7), since losing to Arsenal in their opening game at Villa Park this season. Hosting Fulham will only increase Aston Villa’s chances of winning, as the London club are “afraid” of Villa Park.

According to statistics, Fulham have only won 1 of their last 20 away games against Aston Villa (drawn 7, lost 12). At the moment, Fulham are suffering a series of 5 consecutive losses at Villa Park and there are few signs that they will change the situation.

Unlike Aston Villa, Fulham no longer have any real motivation. With 51 points, coach Marco Silva's team has long been in the league, but it is difficult to compete for a ticket to the European Cup next season. Their form has clearly declined recently, losing 3/5 matches in the Premier League. In the previous round, Fulham only narrowly won against bottom team Southampton in the last minute.
