2025-05-04 | Game Summary

In this English Premier League match on May 3, 2025, Aston Villa secured a narrow 1-0 victory over Fulham at Villa Park. Youri Tielemans scored the decisive goal in the 12th minute, giving the home side an early lead they would maintain throughout the match. Although Fulham had slightly more shots (11 vs 10), they struggled to convert them into goals, with both teams registering three shots on target. Fulham's discipline was a significant issue, as they accumulated five yellow cards compared to Aston Villa's clean sheet in that regard, and committed 17 fouls to Villa's 6.
The AI-powered pre-game prediction correctly foresaw an Aston Villa win, with a predicted win probability of 60.1%. The AI model did not expect a balanced game. Aston Villa's recent form has been mixed, with wins against Newcastle and Southampton in the Premier League, as well as a Champions League victory over PSG, but losses against Manchester City and Crystal Palace (in the FA Cup). Fulham's form is similar, with a recent win against Southampton, but losses against Chelsea, Bournemouth, and Arsenal.
Looking at the upcoming matches, Aston Villa faces a potentially tricky away game against AFC Bournemouth. Bournemouth's recent form shows a tendency for draws, but they also managed a win against Fulham. Aston Villa will need to improve their away form, considering their recent loss against Man City and Crystal Palace away from home. Fulham will host Everton. Everton have struggled recently, losing their last two games.
Historically, Aston Villa has had the upper hand in head-to-head matches against Fulham. In the last five Premier League encounters, Aston Villa has won four and lost one. Their previous encounter this season saw Aston Villa winning 3-1. Aston Villa's next opponent, Bournemouth, drew with Aston Villa earlier in the season. Fulham's next opponent, Everton, drew with Fulham earlier in the season.

2025-05-02 | Pre-game insights

On May 3rd, 2025, Villa Park in Birmingham will host an intriguing English Premier League clash between Aston Villa and Fulham. AI algorithms predict a victory for the home side, assigning them a 60.1% win probability compared to Fulham's 17.4%, with a 22.5% chance of a draw. Aston Villa, boasting a team rate of 0.652, will be looking to bounce back from recent defeats against Crystal Palace (3-0) and Manchester City (2-1). Their recent form at home, however, is promising, with wins against Newcastle (4-1) and even Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League (3-2), thanks to the efforts of Argentinian playmaker Mateo Alvarez, known for his incisive passes.
Fulham, rated at 0.621, will aim to defy the odds, building on their recent 2-1 victory against Southampton. However, their away form has been inconsistent. The Cottagers will rely on the finishing prowess of their star striker, Aleksandar Mitrovic, to penetrate the Villa defense. Historical data favors Aston Villa, who have won the last five head-to-head matches against Fulham, including a 3-1 victory earlier in the season. Will the AI's prediction hold true, or can Fulham pull off an upset?
