Bournemouth can edge closer to a historic European debut if they maintain their strong home record when they host Aston Villa at Vitality Stadium.
Just twelve years ago, Bournemouth were celebrating promotion from League One, and now they sit eighth in the Premier League. Consequently, they stand on the brink of their first European adventure in the UEFA Conference League.
This match carries extra meaning because Bournemouth’s first Premier League fixture was against Aston Villa back in 2015. They lost that game by a single goal. However, they have enjoyed success at home against the Villans since then, with two victories and one draw.
Their 2-1 victory at Arsenal over the weekend will boost confidence and extend their unbeaten run to five matches. They claimed two wins and three draws during that sequence.
Aston Villa arrive with eyes fixed on a top-five finish. They sit just three points shy of that target. Moreover, they have enjoyed six victories in their last seven league fixtures, demonstrating fine form.
Nonetheless, their away record offers hope to the hosts. They suffered eight of their nine league losses on the road. They have also failed to beat any team starting the round inside the top eight when playing away.
Unai Emery boasts a strong record against Andoni Iraola. He has stayed unbeaten in seven personal meetings, securing five victories and two draws. That tactical edge could prove crucial in the south coast clash.
Evanilson has scored five goals and provided one assist in his last eight appearances, making him Bournemouth’s key attacking threat. Meanwhile, Ollie Watkins has set up four goals against Bournemouth, matching his joint-career high for assists versus a single opponent.
Hot stat: Bournemouth have found the net more than once in only one of their last twelve home league games. That figure underlines the challenge Brighton will face in breaking down this stubborn defence.
