Bournemouth vs Aston Villa Betting Preview

We’re coming to the end of what has been a long and pretty confusing Premier League season. As we get closer and closer to the final day, the title race and relegation spots have already been confirmed. All that’s left is to determine who will compete in Europe, and there are a handful of teams left in the race.

In pretty much every metric, Bournemouth have surpassed all of the expectations that were put in front of them this season. They have charged forward at a relentless pace and while they’ve dipped a bit since the start of the year, it’s still very realistic for them to qualify for Europe. Some may say it’s too soon for them, but the Cherries are flying, and they’ve got the infrastructure in place to make this project work for many years to come.

You could even argue that Bournemouth are shooting to be in the position that Aston Villa are in right now. The boys from the second city are finally back where they belong in a position of real relevance in English football. In addition to reaching the quarter-finals of the Champions League, they also made it to the semi-finals of the FA Cup this season – and their Premier League campaign is really starting to come together.

In terms of excitement and shock value, these are two of the most interesting stories of the season. Bournemouth know that everything from here is a bonus for them, whereas there are more expectations currently resting on the shoulders of Villa. There’s a belief that they can go on to do even greater things, and while it hasn’t all gone perfectly, their squad is one of the most well-organised in the country right now.

So whether you’re looking for High Roller’s online real money casino games and slots or you just want to know a bit more about this game, we’re here to run through what we believe will happen when these teams meet on the south coast.

If you’re of the belief that either of these teams are going to collapse in the next couple of games, then you haven’t been paying attention. We’re no longer at a point where we can say they’re punching above their weight – because they continue to prove time and time again that they are right where they belong.

In terms of this encounter, we think it’s going to start out tentative with the hosts and visitors both looking to settle their way into the game. Then, after the first goal goes in, things are really going to loosen up with this one turning into a bit of a slugfest.

Villa will look to dictate the pace in the middle of the park whereas Bournemouth will try and overwhelm their opponents in the final third. When you put those two strategies together, it should make for the kind of game that is at least in the running to be featured first on Match of the Day.

Therefore, we’re going to say that they’ll share the spoils in an entertaining and chaotic 2-2 draw.
