Aston Villa Form
Bournemouth Form
Unai Emery welcomes Andoni Iraola to Villa Park on Saturday afternoon, as Aston Villa and Bournemouth go head to head in the English Premier League. The last meeting between these two sides ended in a 3-1 victory for Aston Villa, and they are buoyed by a recent 3-1 win over Fulham. Bournemouth, however, comes into this match riding high after a surprising 2-0 win over Arsenal.
This Aston Villa vs Bournemouth preview highlights both teams’ recent form, key players, and what to expect from this exciting matchup.
When considering Aston Villa vs Bournemouth betting tips, we recommend keeping an eye on Aston Villa’s strong home form and their historical success against Bournemouth.
Aston Villa currently sits 4th in the Premier League table after playing 8 matches this season. They remain unbeaten in their last 6 encounters in the league. In terms of home performance, Aston Villa has played 4 matches at home, winning 2, drawing 1, and losing 1. They have scored 6 goals while conceding 5, with one clean sheet to their name. Their star forward, Ollie Watkins, is currently leading the charge with 5 goals and 2 assists this season.
Bournemouth, on the other hand, occupies 10th position with 11 points from 8 matches. Their away performance has been less stellar, having lost 2 of their away fixtures. They have conceded 7 goals without keeping a clean sheet and have scored 4 goals, failing to find the net in 2 matches. Their top scorer, Antoine Semenyo, has netted 3 goals and provided 1 assist.
With Bournemouth’s struggles away from home and Ollie Watkins in fine form, Villa is likely to dominate possession and create several goal-scoring opportunities.
