Bournemouth vs Aston Villa Form and Head to Head
The Cherries, currently sitting 12th in the Premier League, suffered a 0-2 defeat in their last outing against Wolves in an away fixture. However, that loss belies a strong run of form for the home side, who rank 4th in the league's form table over their last six matches. Prior to the Wolves game, Bournemouth had enjoyed a string of positive results, including a thrilling 3-2 home victory over Liverpool and a 3-2 win against Tottenham. An interesting fact highlights their attacking prowess: Bournemouth have scored at least two goals in five of their last six Premier League matches.
Conversely, Aston Villa, despite their lofty 3rd-place standing, endured a 0-1 home defeat to Brentford in their most recent league fixture. Their recent form has been less consistent, with the Villans ranking 14th in the league's form table over the last six matches. Notably, there have been under 2.5 goals scored in Aston Villa's last four Premier League games, suggesting a tighter, more defensively oriented approach or a struggle to find the net.
The historical record between these two clubs heavily favours Aston Villa. The last meeting saw the Villans dominate Bournemouth with a commanding 4-0 victory at home in November 2025. This result extends Aston Villa's impressive unbeaten streak against the Cherries, as they are undefeated in their last six matches across all competitions. Over these six encounters, Aston Villa have secured four wins and two draws, illustrating a clear upper hand in this fixture.

Bournemouth vs Aston Villa Team News
Bournemouth face several injury concerns, particularly in their attacking department. David Brooks, Justin Kluivert, Ben Doak, and Marcus Tavernier are all currently sidelined with injuries. Tyler Adams also remains out with a knee injury. These absences will likely see Junior Kroupi and Amine Adli continue to support Evanilson upfront, as they did successfully in the recent Wolves game.
Aston Villa also contend with a significant injury list, especially in midfield. John McGinn, Youri Tielemans, and Boubacar Kamara are all unavailable. Ross Barkley, Alex Edward, and Adrian García are also out injured. In attack, Ollie Watkins is doubtful with a muscle injury, meaning Tammy Abraham is expected to lead the line. Amadou Onana is anticipated to start in midfield alongside Douglas Luiz, providing a much-needed boost to the engine room.
Bournemouth vs Aston Villa Match Prediction
Bournemouth’s recent upturn and goal threat makes this a tricky trip, but Aston Villa’s quality and strong record in this fixture gives them the edge. Villa have more ways to hurt teams, whether it’s through individual brilliance, shots from range, or punishing mistakes once they get in front. Bournemouth can definitely score, but their weaknesses against through balls, aerial situations, and direct attacks feel like areas Villa can exploit. Even if the hosts strike first, Villa’s ability to stay in games and respond under pressure makes them well placed to come through.
Prediction: Bournemouth 1-2 Aston Villa
