Aston Villa vs Fulham: Kick-Off Nepal Time, Prediction & Team News

Villa Park hosts a crucial European clash as both teams chase their continental dreams.

📅 Match Date: Saturday, May 3

🏟️ Venue: Villa Park

What’s at Stake

Aston Villa return to Villa Park with European football firmly in their sights. Unai Emery’s men may have stumbled recently, but their home form and history against Fulham offer hope. This is more than just a Premier League fixture — it’s a battle between two sides aiming to punch their ticket to Europe.

Villa come into this after back-to-back losses — 2-1 to Man City in the league and a heavy 3-0 blow from Crystal Palace in the FA Cup semis. But despite those setbacks, they remain 7th in the table — and still within reach of a Champions League spot.

For Fulham, the story is about momentum. Sitting 8th, they’re just six points behind Villa. Marco Silva’s side staged a comeback win over relegated Southampton last week and are quietly building pressure on the teams above them.

Form Check 🔥

🟣 Aston Villa: Recent form has dipped, but their home record stays strong. They’ve been dominant against Fulham in recent seasons.
⚪ Fulham: Still inconsistent, but confident after that Southampton win and chasing a top-seven finish.

Head-to-Head History

🆚 Total meetings: 77
🦁 Aston Villa wins: 29
🏁 Draws: 22
🏳️ Fulham wins: 26

Villa have a slight edge historically, especially in recent years. Since returning to the Premier League, they’ve won six of their last seven league matches against Fulham — including the last four straight with a 9-3 aggregate.

But history aside, Fulham have had their moments. Let’s not forget their 1-0 win in the 2018 Championship Playoff Final, which denied Villa promotion that season.

Team News

🟣 Aston Villa

• Will look to bounce back with a full-strength squad.
• Expect key names like Ollie Watkins and Matty Cash to play major roles.

⚪ Fulham

• Marco Silva has no major injury concerns.
• Eyes will be on players like Willian and João Palhinha to deliver.

Kirib Prediction 🔮

Villa have the edge at home and the better head-to-head form — but Fulham are a threat when they click. Expect a tense match with European pressure mounting.

Score Prediction: Aston Villa 2-1 Fulham
