Scenario Explanation

1) Villa's superior quality and Top 4 urgency result in a narrow away win (45% likelihood). 2) A hard-fought draw (1-1) due to Villa's fatigue from European commitments and Fulham's defensive organization at home (30% likelihood). 3) Fulham finally regresses to the mean regarding their xG and pulls off a home upset (25% likelihood). The most probable outcome is a clinical 1-2 victory for the visitors, given Unai Emery's perfect 8-0 record against Marco Silva.
