Aston Villa vs Bournemouth prediction: ENGLAND: Premier League betting tips on match 2025-11-08 14:00.
[p]After their four-game winning run in the Premier League was halted last Saturday, Aston Villa will look for a return to that form as they host Bournemouth.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Despite the increased media noise surrounding their midweek UEFA Europa League match against Maccabi Tel Aviv, Villa secured a 2-0 victory to make it seven wins in their last nine across all competitions (L2). That latest success again highlighted their phenomenal record at Villa Park, where they have now been defeated only once in their past 28 outings since the start of last November (W20, D7). As they now look towards gatecrashing the Premier League’s top four in the near future, a continued focus will likely be placed by Unai Emery on their in-form backline, which has conceded more than one goal in just one of their last seven league outings.  [/p]
[p]After putting together an eight-match unbeaten Premier League run (W5, D3), Bournemouth’s fortunes finally changed as Manchester City proved too strong for them last week. A 3-1 defeat at the Etihad means that Andoni Iraola’s men will now be aiming to avoid successive losses for the first time since May, and as one of those defeats came in their last meeting with Villa, they will need to be mentally strong enough to push aside any concerns. The Cherries may be starting to grow concerned about their limited returns on the road, as they’ve won just one of their last six away league games (D2, L3).[/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]Villa are unbeaten in their last five H2Hs (W3, D2), having lost four in a row before then.[/p]

[p]Key Players to Watch and Missing Players[/p]
[p]Donyell Malen was on target on Thursday for his third goal of the season, all of which have come in home wins for Villa. Ten of Justin Kluivert’s last 12 league strikes for Bournemouth have come away from home, with five of those goals on the road also being from the penalty spot. [/p]
[p]After rotating against Maccabi, Emery should play a full-strength side here, with the exception of Tyrone Mings. It is a similar story for Bournemouth, who only have Tyler Adams potentially unavailable. Â [/p]
