Aston Villa have won 6 of these eight, Fulham have won 2 and 0 were drawn. Those matches produced 21 goals at 2.62 a game, both teams scored in 4 and 5 went over 2.5. That is context for the goals markets rather than the main case for the result.

Aston Villa have created 10 big chances and 24 shots on target, with 8.13 xG. Fulham have created 15 big chances and 36 shots on target, with 10.88 xG.
Aston Villa most recently lost to Bournemouth 0-3 away in the League Cup; beat Manchester City 2-1 at home in the Premier League. Fulham most recently lost to Crystal Palace 0-1 at home in the League Cup; beat Coventry City 1-0 away in the Premier League. Competition labels matter here: a cup or European result is not presented as league form.
The crucial issue is whether the selected side’s advantages can outweigh the figures that point the other way. That keeps the conclusion tied to the actual balance of evidence, rather than simply listing every stat as though it supports the same team. Aston Villa need to make their better spells count; Fulham will be dangerous if the game turns toward the areas where their figures are stronger. Both sides need to be decisive when the clearest opening arrives, rather than simply accumulating possession without a decisive final action.
