Aston Villa is coming into this match playing in very good form in their recent matches. They have won 3 of their last 4 as well as 8 of their last 10 matches with no losses in that span. Their attack has been very consistent in these matches as they have scored at least 2 goals in each of their last 2 as well as 8 of their last 10 matches, and they have scored 5 goals total in their last 2 matches alone. Their defense has also been very good recently as they have only allowed 1 goal in their last 4 matches. When playing at home, they have won 4 of their last 5 matches there with no losses in that span and they have not allowed a goal there in their last 3 matches as well. They are going up against a Bournemouth side that has been in good form recently with 2 wins in their last 3 matches, but both of those wins also came at home. They have actually lost 3 of their last 5 matches and have struggled a lot more in their recent away matches. When playing away from home, they have lost their last 2 matches and they have not scored a goal in either of those while also allowing 4 goals total. They have not had success coming to this pitch either as they have lost the last 2 meetings at Aston Villa, scoring just 1 goal in those 2 matches while allowing 3 goals in each of those. Aston Villa has some quality wins this season and they have been very good at home all season, but their defense will be a key piece in this match as they will be able to keep Bournemouth out of their net while Bournemouth struggles to keep Villa out. Aston Villa will win this match at home and collect all 3 points here.
