Aston Villa and Bournemouth face off this weekend in a meeting between two of the Premier League’s most in-form teams. While Villa holds a comfortable 7-point advantage over Bournemouth in the standings, recent performances suggest a competitive encounter is in store.
Villa’s only win away at Bournemouth came during their first visit in the 2014/2015 season. Since then, Bournemouth has remained unbeaten at home in this fixture. The two sides last met earlier this season in a 1-1 draw, where Evanilson struck a dramatic 96th-minute equalizer for Bournemouth.
Heading into this match, Bournemouth is unbeaten in their last five games, while Aston Villa have won six of their previous seven league matches—form that puts both sides among the league’s top performers in recent weeks.
With strong momentum and just a few rounds left to play, both teams will be eager to carry their form forward. Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur are the next opponents on the calendar, and both will be watching closely as the battle for the Infinity Cup continues.
