Match Preview
Unai Emery will be delighted with the start to the season that his Aston Villa side have made this term, as they come into the weekend inside the Champions League spots. Villa have won four of their previous five, and they could move to the top of the table this weekend if they are able to pick up a third straight win.
Bournemouth have finally come alive in the 2023-24 season, as the Cherries have easily moved away from the relegation places after winning three of their previous four. In fact, a third straight win this weekend could see them end the weekend as high as 12th in the standings, depending on other results.

The Cherries boast an excellent record against Villa, as they have won 67% of the Premier League meetings between the sides. Their four wins in six league clashes against the Villa is their most against any single side in the competition aside from Huddersfield Town. However, Villa did land a 3-0 win in the previous encounter between the sides in March.
Villa’s record under Emery has been staggering, as they have picked up 22 wins in 2023, which is the second most of any club in the competition. In fact, they haven’t won more games since 1931 across a single calendar year. Bournemouth could win four games on the bounce for the first time since 2018 on Sunday.
Bournemouth vs Aston Villa Prediction
Bournemouth’s recent upturn in form makes this a very interesting fixture on Sunday. A chance will be taken on the hosts, as this could be a good time to play the Villa after their midweek European commitments.
