• Aston Villa aim to bounce back after defeat at Anfield.
• Bournemouth’s seven-game unbeaten streak ended against Manchester City.
• Villa Park form could be the key for Unai Emery’s men.
• Both sides rank high for matches with over 2.5 goals this season.

Unai Emery’s Aston Villa enter this one licking their wounds from a 2-0 defeat to Liverpool. It wasn’t their finest hour: Emiliano Martinez’s blunder gifted Mohamed Salah an opener, and Ryan Gravenberch sealed it with a deflected strike. Still, Villa have looked strong at home, winning five straight matches across all competitions. With an average of 1.2 goals scored and 1 conceded per game, they might not blow teams away, but they’re disciplined. And let’s not forget, Villa have gone 23 Premier League home games with just one defeat. That’s no coincidence. They thrive in front of their fans.

On the other side, Andoni Iraola’s Bournemouth arrive after a reality check at the Etihad. A 3-1 loss to Manchester City ended their unbeaten run, but the Cherries weren’t exactly pushovers. They even enjoyed more possession than Pep Guardiola’s side for stretches. With an average of 1.8 goals scored and 2.4 conceded per match, Bournemouth are living on the edge, entertaining, risky, and never dull. Eighty percent of their games have seen both teams score. It’s a team that plays front-foot football, even if it costs them defensively.

Head-to-head, Villa have had Bournemouth’s number lately: three wins and two draws in their last five meetings since 2022. The Cherries haven’t beaten them since then, but you can sense a balance shifting. Bournemouth’s pressing under Iraola has turned them into a more cohesive, energetic side. Can they finally turn possession into points on the road? It’s hard to say, but you wouldn’t rule them out.

For Villa, the story might come down to midfield control. John McGinn, back in form and freshly renewed, leads a side that knows how to grind out results. Bournemouth’s Tyler Adams and Alex Scott have been excellent disruptors, though. Expect intensity, fast breaks, and maybe a few nervy moments for both keepers. Goals feel inevitable here, statistically and emotionally. If one thing’s certain, this game fits right into our Premier League Predictions radar for drama and goals.
