Standings

Recent form

Bournemouth

Last 6: LDWDDW

Bournemouth have shown resilience in their recent form, going unbeaten in their last five Premier League matches. Currently sitting in 8th position with 53 points from 35 games, the Cherries have displayed a solid defensive record, conceding only six goals in their last six outings and keeping two clean sheets. Their latest victory against Arsenal was particularly impressive, suggesting they can compete with top-tier opposition. Bournemouth's ability to score consistently, netting in five out of their last six matches, has contributed to their positive goal difference. The team's tendency to be involved in close contests is evident, with half of their recent games featuring under 2.5 goals. Notably, Bournemouth have shown a knack for sharing the spoils, drawing three of their last six matches, which has helped maintain their unbeaten run and solidify their position in the top half of the table.

Aston Villa

Last 6: WWLLWW

Aston Villa have shown impressive form recently, winning four of their last six matches across all competitions. The Villans have been particularly prolific in front of goal, scoring 12 times in these six games, with a notable 4-1 victory over Newcastle United standing out as their highest-scoring match. Their attacking prowess is further highlighted by the fact that 83% of their recent games have seen over 2.5 goals, with both teams scoring in two-thirds of the matches. Despite their current 7th position in the league, Villa's recent performances suggest they are in good shape, especially considering their Champions League victory over Paris Saint-Germain. However, their defensive record could be a concern, having kept only one clean sheet in this period and conceding an average of 1.5 goals per game.

Recent home/away form

Bournemouth

Last 6: DLLLWD

Bournemouth's recent home form has been somewhat inconsistent, with the Cherries struggling to find their footing at the Vitality Stadium. Despite their mid-table position in the Premier League, they have managed just one win in their last six home matches, drawing twice and losing three. Notably, Bournemouth have been involved in a streak of three consecutive home defeats, falling to Brentford, Manchester City, and Ipswich Town before breaking the run with a narrow victory over Fulham. The team's goal-scoring record at home has been remarkably consistent, with Bournemouth netting exactly one goal in each of their last six matches on home soil. Defensively, they have been relatively porous, conceding in five out of six games and keeping just one clean sheet. Interestingly, 83% of these home fixtures have seen both teams score, suggesting that Bournemouth's matches at the Vitality Stadium have been providing entertainment for the neutral spectator.

Aston Villa

Aston Villa have shown mixed form away from home, with their last six away matches resulting in three wins and three losses. The Villans have been involved in some high-scoring affairs, with all six games featuring over 2.5 goals and an impressive average of 3.33 total goals per match. Villa have demonstrated their attacking prowess by scoring 11 goals in these six away fixtures, averaging 1.83 goals per game. However, their defence has been somewhat vulnerable, conceding 9 goals (1.5 per game) and managing only two clean sheets. Notably, Villa have secured convincing 3-0 victories in their last two Premier League away matches against Southampton and Brighton, showcasing their ability to dominate on the road when in form. Despite their inconsistent results, Villa's away performances have been entertaining for neutrals, with both teams scoring in half of these matches and no game ending with fewer than three goals.
