Aston Villa vs Bournemouth prediction, H2H & Probable Line-ups - October 26, 2024
As part of the 9th round of the English Premier League, Aston Villa will host Bournemouth on Saturday at Villa Park. Here is the expert prediction for this match from the Dailysports team.
Aston Villa
The "Villans" have started the new season impressively and currently sit in fourth place in the league table, trailing the leaders, Liverpool, by four points. Recent performances by the Birmingham side inspire confidence, as Aston Villa remains unbeaten in their last five Premier League matches.
In their last league outing, Aston Villa secured a 3-1 away victory over Fulham. Following that, Unai Emery's team hosted Bologna in the Champions League and earned a solid 2-0 win. With three victories in the group stage, Villa leads the table, having collected maximum points.
Bournemouth
Andoni Iraola's team caused a major upset last weekend, defeating Arsenal 2-0 at home, capitalizing on a red card for the "Gunners." This victory marked Bournemouth's third win of the current campaign.
The club has climbed into the middle of the table, narrowing the gap to the European places to just four points. However, Bournemouth's away form remains weak. In their last 14 Premier League away matches, they have managed only three wins (3 draws and 8 losses). The wins came against Burnley, Wolverhampton, and Everton.
