Bournemouth vs Aston Villa: Premier League Prediction (10.05.2025)

On Saturday, May 10, 2025, at 23:30 WIB, Bournemouth will host Aston Villa at the Vitality Stadium in a Matchweek 36 clash of the 2024–2025 Premier League season. These are table neighbors, but with a significant seven-point gap between them. Bournemouth are in 8th place, outside the European qualification spots. Meanwhile, Aston Villa still hopes to fight for a top-five finish to secure a place in next season’s UEFA Champions League, though it won’t be easy. They trail Newcastle and Chelsea by three points with three games to go.

Let’s make a Bournemouth vs Aston Villa prediction, keeping in mind the strong tournament motivation from the visiting team. Despite that, Aston Villa are not considered favorites by bookmakers. A Bournemouth win is priced at 2.47, a draw at 3.78, and a Villa win at 2.73. Over 2.5 goals has odds of 1.64, suggesting an average scoring game. Both teams to score is priced at 1.54.

Bournemouth

Andoni Iraola’s team is unbeaten in their last five Premier League matches, and even claimed a surprising 2:1 win over Arsenal away. However, three draws in that stretch have almost dashed their European qualification hopes.

Their defensive line has been solid, especially with centre-backs Dean Huijsen and Illya Zabarnyi standing out. At home, Bournemouth concedes an average of 1.11 goals per match while scoring 1.78.

Aston Villa

Unai Emery’s side spent much of their energy in this season’s Champions League and would be disappointed not to return to Europe’s top competition next season. The race at the top of the table is tight. Villa have won six of their last seven Premier League matches and are in excellent form, although Chelsea and Newcastle are also holding strong.

The upcoming match may hinge on the form of Ollie Watkins and Morgan Rogers, both of whom have been outstanding in recent weeks.

Head-to-Head Stats

Since 2022, the teams have met five times. Aston Villa leads with two wins to Bournemouth’s one. Their first meeting this season ended in a 1:1 draw in Birmingham.

Prediction

Excluding their 0:3 FA Cup semifinal defeat to Crystal Palace, Aston Villa’s recent form has been very impressive. Given their stronger motivation, we’re backing an Aston Villa win at odds of 2.73.
