Bournemouth preview: Thrilling Bournemouth

Andoni Iraola is in charge of an entertaining and very strong AFC Bournemouth side that have moved themselves back into contention for potential European qualification with an impressive recent run of form of late.

The Cherries have collected ten points from their last four matches in the Premier League. The hosts most recently eased to a comfortable 2-0 defeat of Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux last weekend.

Aston Villa preview: Title race potentially over

Aston Villa begin this weekend’s round of fixtures sitting seven points adrift of league leaders Arsenal after a brilliant campaign under the management of former Gunners boss Unai Emery.

However, the Villans have been left extremely frustrated this month with a couple of 1-0 defeats at Villa Park against Everton and then against ten-man Brentford last weekend, pegging them back in the title race.

Bournemouth vs Aston Villa prediction

Bournemouth are one of the most entertaining teams to watch in the Premier League. Their 24 matches in the top-flight have consisted of 83 goals with only four teams scoring more than them and only four conceding more. Villa can often be quite entertaining and have lacked a bit of control in recent weeks and so both teams scoring in a potentially fun watch for the neutral appears a good bet for this one.

Bournemouth vs Aston Villa tip: Both teams to score
