Aston Villa will most likely once again finish around the middle of the league's table. Currently, they are 11th with 35 points but have 8 points more than the 12th-placed Crystal Palace. There is a five-point difference between the 12th and 20th teams on the league's table. So, Aston Villa are the first team safe from the relegation zone.
In the last three matches, the Villans won seven points against teams from the bottom half of the league's table. They won against Everton and Crystal Palace and drew with West Ham. In those three games, they allowed only one goal.
AFC Bournemouth are one of the teams that will battle against relegation this season. After a successful first third of the season, when they were around 10th place, they started to fall in the standings. Now they are in 18th place, only two points more than the last-placed Southampton.
After two losses against Manchester City and Arsenal, where they allowed seven goals total, Bournemouth won in the last match against Liverpool. Liverpool missed a penalty and were a better team. Still, Bournemouth created two excellent chances from counter-attacks, and that is something the Villans will have to look out for in this match.
Aston Villa vs AFC Bournemouth pick: Aston Villa to win
