Aston Villa vs Bournemouth form
Aston Villa's four-game winning streak in the Premier League was halted a week ago. Despite their high spirits on the march to the port city, coach Unai Emery and his team ultimately could not withstand the fiery atmosphere at Anfield and accepted a 0-2 defeat.
Also because of the convincing defeat at the hands of defending champion Liverpool, Aston Villa has not been able to make a stronger breakthrough in the rankings. Before round 11, the Birmingham team ranked 11th with 15 points. However, the gap between Villa and the 2nd place held by Man City is only 4 points, so there is still a lot of opportunity to rise.
In this round, if they win big (by 3 goals or more) when hosting Bournemouth, the home team at Villa Park will even surpass their opponents to ensure their place in the top half of the rankings. The task is difficult but completely feasible if we consider the very impressive home form of Emery and his team.
In the last 20 home games, Aston Villa have lost only 1, drawn 4 and won 15. In the last 5 home games, Ollie Watkins and his teammates have sent their guests home empty-handed, scoring 9 and conceding only 2 goals.
In addition, the recent head-to-head record also completely supports the home team. In the last 5 meetings between the two sides, Villa have not lost, won 3 and drawn 2. In the last 3 times hosting Bournemouth, the Birmingham team won 2, drew 1, scored 7 and conceded 2 goals.
Bournemouth once climbed to 2nd place on the table and were considered an interesting phenomenon of the Premier League after 1/4 of the journey. However, in the context of the race behind the top spot held by Arsenal is hotter than ever, just a bad result will immediately push any team far away from the current ranking.

Bournemouth are no exception. A 3-1 defeat at the Etihad against Man City a week ago saw the Cherries drop to 5th place. If they continue to lose at Villa Park, the team under the direction of talented coach Andoni Iraola could even fall to mid-table.
The away team's unimpressive form has caused concern. In 5 away matches since the beginning of the season, Tavernier and his teammates have only won 1, drawn 2 and lost 2.
