Bournemouth vs Aston Villa prediction
AFC Bournemouth hammered Manchester United by three goals to nil at Old Trafford the other day, a few days after they had beaten seven-time European champions AC Milan by the same scoreline in the UEFA Europa League. They have now won four games on the bounce across all competitions without conceding.
Aston Villa, as ever under Unai Emery, started the season relatively slowly but they have turned things around as the season has gone on and that continued at the weekend as a Nicolas Jackson brace inspired The Villans to a 2-1 victory against previous 100%-ers Manchester City in the Premier League.
Villa do have a bit more depth and that could be crucial in this one as both teams are expected to rotate in a busy period of the campaign.
Bournemouth vs Aston Villa tip: Double chance – Aston Villa to win or draw
