Aston Villa<\/a> will be hoping to bolster their chances of Champions League<\/a> football when they travel to the Vitality Stadium to face Bournemouth<\/a> on Saturday 10th May at 3pm.

Over 1.5 Bournemouth goals<\/h3>\n

Bournemouth have scored two goals in each of their past three home games against Aston Villa.<\/p>\n

How both teams go into Bournemouth vs Aston Villa<\/h2>\n

Bournemouth’s hopes of European football for 2025-26 may be over. The Cherries find themselves seven points behind Aston Villa, and they’ll have just three games left to play when this match comes around. So it could be make or break. And even if Bournemouth do manage to get the win against Villa, they’ve left themselves a mountain to climb in such a short time. The Cherries were in a good position not too long ago, but a run of just one win in nine in the league — which includes four defeats — has seen them tumble.<\/p>\n

Aston Villa, meanwhile, are right in the thick of it. A recent defeat to Manchester City<\/a> has seen Villa slightly lose ground in the race for Champions League football, with fifth now enough for Villa to secure a return to the competition. They sit three points behind fifth with four games left to play, but will take heart from the fact that those above them have tough fixtures to end the season. Villa don’t have an easy final run-in either, despite Bournemouth being their last opponent in the top half of the table. The Villans end the campaign at home to Tottenham Hotspur<\/a> and then away at Manchester United<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Bournemouth team news<\/h3>\n

Evanilson is suspended for this game as it stands, though Bournemouth have appealed his red card against Man Utd. Ryan Christie and Enes Unal are out for the season.<\/p>\n

Aston Villa team news<\/h3>\n

Marcus Rashford is expected to miss this game, though he might be back before the end of the season.<\/p>\n

Bournemouth vs Aston Villa head-to-head<\/h3>\n

Aston Villa are unbeaten in their past four games against Bournemouth, winning two and drawing two. This comes after a run of four consecutive wins in this fixture for the Cherries.<\/p>\n
