Bournemouth's recent performances have been defensively solid with two clean sheets, although their scoring rate has been modest, averaging 0.8 goals per game over the last five. On the other hand, Aston Villa has had a mixed bag of results, with a significant home victory against Newcastle and a narrow win over Fulham, offset by a defeat at the hands of Manchester City.

Bournemouth's home advantage and recent solid performances give them a slight edge in this matchup. Their ability to keep clean sheets recently can be a deciding factor. However, Aston Villa's attacking threat should not be underestimated, making this a potentially thrilling game. A key factor to watch will be Bournemouth's defense against Villa's attacking duo, which could determine the final outcome.
