Aston Villa vs Fulham Predictions, Betting Tips and Preview

Aston Villa vs Fulham predictions and betting tips for the Championship Play-Off match on Saturday evening with a goals tip and match prediction included.

A place in the Premier League awaits one of these two sides as Aston Villa face Fulham at Wembley. The Cottagers make the short journey to the national stadium following an excellent second half to the season. Slavisa Jokanovic’s side had to turn around a 1-0 deficit against Derby in order to book their place in the final. They have a hugely talented squad with teenager Ryan Sessegnon always heavily involved. They play eye-catching football and have been a joy to watch this campaign. Villa were always in control during their play-off semi-final against Middlesbrough with Steve Bruce’s side comfortably holding a 1-0 advantage throughout the second leg. The Teessiders struggled to break them down and weren’t able to create many chances throughout the 180 minutes. That lack of cutting edge wasn’t helped by Villa’s tremendous organisation with Mile Jedinak superbly shielding John Terry and James Chester. Jack Grealish is one of the Championship’s stars and he came close to putting some gloss on the scoreline during the second leg. This should be a fascinating match-up between two sides with very different styles. See our Aston Villa vs Fulham betting tips and predictions in the article below:

 

Aston Villa vs Fulham Predictions

Having watched Villa deny Middlesbrough time on the ball and progress incredibly comfortably, there is surely value to be found backing Steve Bruce’s side. Fulham play some wonderful stuff but the Villains are incredibly wee-organised and that could be enough to see them return to the top flight. The first of our Aston Villa vs Fulham betting tips is Aston Villa to Qualify which is priced at 6/5 with Ladbrokes.

It should be a fantastic match but not necessarily high—scoring. Both sides have goals in them but with so much at stake, neither side will want to take a risk here, particularly early in the game. Under 2.5 Goals is priced at 8/13 with Bet Victor and is the second of our Aston Villa vs Fulham predictions.

Jack Grealish had one or two efforts from distance during the second leg of the play off semi-final and he could cap off a tremendous campaign and help his side return to the Premier League on Saturday. Jack Grealish in the anytime goalscorer market is priced at 11/2 with Betfair and is the last of our Aston Villa vs Fulham betting tips.
