Fulham has yet to win a game in the Premier League, but did look decent in their win this past week in the Carabao Cup. However, the last Premier League game for the Fulham club ended up being a horrible loss by a score of 4-3 to the Leeds United team.

The game here is actually going to be very evenly matched. The problem for Aston Villa is their defense has not really been tested this year. Yes, Fulham did give up 4 goals in their opening game, but that was against a Leeds team that has shown the offensive production to be good so far. Villa is missing out quite a bit on the offensive side of the ball and while they did get a lot of shots in their opening game not a lot landed on net and with 10 corners Villa only managed to get 1 goal in the game. Look for Fulham to play better in the game and that allows Fulham to bring home the win, but I do not look for either offense to be overly productive which is going to hit the under.
