Fulham take on the visitors Aston Villa in the round 12 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Thursday, October 20th at Craven Cottage (London).
Fulham are on a mission to reverse its status as the "football elevator" in English football. Recently, they constantly changed divisions. So it was in 2021/2022, when, already under the leadership of Marco Silva, they once again became the leaders of the Championship. Now they want to show that at least with the Portuguese it will be possible to gain a foothold at a higher level, which his predecessors failed to do. The start was quite promising - draws with Liverpool and Wolves, victories over Brentford and Brighton, and all this in the first 5 rounds. In the autumn, however, everything was already more difficult. No, it turned out to win even then, but against a weak newcomer, Nottingham Forest, with defeats not only to Tottenham, but also to Newcastle and West Ham. Yes, and with "Bournemouth" at home on Saturday had to recoup twice. As a result, Mitrovic sealed 2-2 draw, scoring a penalty. This is Aleksandar's 7th goal in this season.

Aston Villa parted ways with Dean Smith a year ago. Steven Gerrard, who replaced him, was able to stabilize the situation, and with him the representative of Birmingham remains in the middle of the Premier League. True, the start of the new season was not easy for the Villans, they lost four times in the first 5 matches, and perhaps Stevie G was saved from dismissal by the only pleasant exception, home 2-1 with Everton. But in the fall, it began to turn out to constantly cling to points, even with Manchester City, recording sensational 1-1. And then they won against Southampton. True, further points were shared not only with strong Leeds, but even with the crisis Nottingham Forest, which had a long series of defeats before these 1-1! After defeat to Chelsea, with a couple of goals from Mason Mount, no one was surprised. As well as a new round of rumors about a possible change of mentor.
Fulham were last promoted to the English Premier League for the 2020/2021 season. Then they lost both head-to-head to Aston Villa, conceding 3 goals in both matches. Bookmakers consider the pair to be fairly equal in strength. But still, Fulham looks more confident and plays at home. So we bet on the victory of "Cottagers" with a "zero" handicap.
Prediction for the match: Fulham to win with 0.0 handicap.
