Bournemouth vs Aston Villa Betting Tips - BTTS

In what could prove one of the more fascinating ties of the weekend, Bournemouth and Aston Villa square-off with both teams still fighting for European qualification.

The Cherries maintained their hopes of a top-eight finish with a sensational 2:1 road win at Arsenal last weekend. Second-half goals from Dean Huijsen and Evanilson secured a brilliant away victory at the Emirates.

Andoni Iraola's men are now unbeaten in five games, and find themselves just one point above nearest rivals Brentford and Brighton in a keenly contested battle for a spot in next season's Conference League. 

While strong on the road, Bournemouth have struggled to hit top gear in recent home fixtures. The Cherries won just three of their last ten PL matches at the Vitality Stadium, while they scored no more than one goal in each of their last six home games. 

Aston Villa arrives on the south coast still firmly in the hunt for a top-five finish and a place in next season’s Champions League. A strong run of form has seen Unai Emery's side claim victories in six of their last seven PL matches. 

However, despite their excellent form, the Villains remain seventh in the division, three points behind fifth-placed Chelsea.  

On the road, Villa have struggled to maintain consistent form this season. Emery's men won four but lost eight of their last 13 away PL matches. 

With both teams desperate for the points, but unreliable in respective home and away matches, it's tough to pick a winner this weekend. However, both teams should get on the scoresheet in a likely back-and-forth battle at the Vitality Stadium.

BTTS is my only choice for Saturday's tea-time Premier League kick-off.
