Aston Villa vs Bournemouth Match Preview

Aston Villa host Bournemouth at Villa Park for matchday 28 of the English Premier League.

Aston Villa are happy with the 1-1 draw they drew the previous matchday in London against West Ham. They were the ones who opened the scoring first in the 17th minute, but a few minutes later they accepted the equaliser. Afterwards, they was more threatened than threatening for a second goal, yet they held on and got the draw.

This was the third consecutive positive result for Aston Villa who reached 35 points and are in 11th place, having 11 more points than the bottom three and 7 less than the 6th and last place that secures a European ticket.

Big result for Bournemouth last week, who beat Liverpool 1-0 at home. Bournemouth performed very well, scored the only goal of the match in the 28th minute and then, despite the pressure they received from their opponent, they endured until the end of the match and took the valuable three points.

So they returned to winning ways after two consecutive defeats and reached 24 points, the same as West Ham and Leicester, having one point more than 19th Leeds and 2 more than 20th and last Southampton in the battle for the division.

Aston Villa are on a short 3 game unbeaten run showing they are in good form in their bid to clinch a European ticket. Bournemouth, on the other hand, are coming off a big win and go into this match with high spirits. Both score easily in the last matches, I expect something similar in the match between them. My pick is Over 2.5 goals at odds of 1.94.
