Bournemouth’s revival has been impressive. After a weaker run, they have responded with two consecutive victories and are now unbeaten in four league matches. Their home form has been particularly eye-catching, with dramatic 3-2 wins over Liverpool and Tottenham in their last two outings at the Vitality Stadium. Bournemouth have lost only twice at home all season, and their attacking intent has been consistent, with nine of their last ten matches in all competitions seeing goals scored by both teams.
Prediction: BTTS – Yes
This matchup strongly supports goals at both ends. Bournemouth’s aggressive home approach and willingness to engage have produced regular scoring opportunities but also defensive exposure. Aston Villa’s away reliability and attacking depth suggest they are well placed to exploit those spaces. With both teams comfortable playing on the front foot, Both Teams to Score – Yes stands out as the most coherent and well-supported prediction.
Bournemouth’s Home Confidence Fuels Open Games
Bournemouth have turned home fixtures into high-intensity battles. Bournemouth’s readiness to press, attack quickly, and commit numbers forward has delivered results against elite opponents, but it also ensures their matches remain open. Defensive solidity has not always matched attacking ambition, which continues to invite chances for opponents even when Bournemouth are in control.
Aston Villa’s Away Consistency Keeps Them Competitive
Aston Villa arrive after a narrow home defeat to Brentford, a result that slowed momentum but did not fundamentally undermine their form. Aston Villa have lost only once in their last ten away matches in all competitions, that defeat coming against Arsenal, and their most recent away trip ended in a convincing 2-0 win over Newcastle. Villa’s balance between structure and attacking quality makes them a threat in most away settings.
