Free Betting Tips for Aston Villa vs Bournemouth
Premier League predictions ahead of Aston Villa's home game against Bournemouth on Saturday.

Contents
Both Teams to Score
Our first Aston Villa vs Bournemouth prediction is for both teams to score on Saturday. Four of the six previous meetings between these two clubs have ended with both teams getting on the scoreboard, and we're expecting more of the same this weekend. Both teams have also scored in four of Aston Villa's last six matches as well as in three of Bournemouth's last five outings, adding further weight to our prediction.
Ollie Watkins to Score
Our second Aston Villa vs Bournemouth prediction delves into the Anytime Goalscorer market. Aston Villa striker, Ollie Watkins has scored 9-goals in the Premier League this season and is currently in a rich vein of form. The England striker has scored 6-goals in his last seven appearances in the Premier League, so you can see just why we're backing Watkins to score against a leaky Bournemouth defence this weekend.

Aston Villa vs Bournemouth Lineups
Aston Villa
Aston Villa made the trip to the capital to face West Ham last time out where a goal in the 17th-minute from Ollie Watkins put the away side in front. West Ham equalised via a 26th-minute penalty and there were no further goals in the second half so the game ended in a draw, which was probably a fair result on the balance of play.
Philippe Coutinho and Jed Steer have been ruled out of Saturday's match through injury and both Leander Dendoncker and Boubacar Kamara will have to pass late fitness tests in order to make the squad.
Predicted Lineup – Martínez (GK), Moreno, Mings, Konsa, Cash, McGinn, Buendía, Luiz, Ramsey, Watkins & Bailey
Bournemouth
The Cherries faced an almost impossible task at home against Liverpool last weekend but managed to pull off an amazing result. Liverpool went into the game on the back of a 7-0 victory over Man Utd but it was Bournemouth that scored the only goal of the game via Billing in the 28th-minute to secure an unexpected 3pts. Liverpool came close to scoring in the second half but Salah failed to convert his 69th-minute penalty and the hosts held firm to win the game.
Junior Stanislas definitely won't feature for the Cherries this weekend and there are also doubts around Illia Zabarnyi, Marcus Tavernier, Hamed Traore and Adam Smith ahead of the trip to the Midlands.
Predicted Lineup – Neto (GK), Smith, Stephens, Senesi, Kelly, Rothwell, Lerma, Billing, Solanke, Anthony & Ouattara

Player to Watch: Ollie Watkins
Aston Villa's big No.9 could make the difference between defeat and victory this weekend if he manages to convert his chances.
The England international has been in fantastic form of late and the hosts will need him to put in another great performance on Saturday against a Bournemouth team that are bound to be full of confidence following their 1-0 win over Liverpool.
Watkins has scored 9-goals in the Premier League this season and six of those goals have arrived in his last seven appearances, so you can see why we have highlighted the Villa striker as our player to watch in this game.
