How To Watch Bournemouth vs Aston Villa: TV Channel, Live Stream and Preview

European hopefuls Aston Villa and Bournemouth go head-to-head on the south coast on Saturday, and our guide reveals how to watch the action, including information on a TV channel and a live stream.

Bournemouth vs Aston Villa Preview

Separated by just one position and seven points in the Premier League table, European football-chasers Bournemouth and Aston Villa meet at the Vitality Stadium in Gameweek 36 on Saturday evening.

The visiting Villans are the ones that boast an advantage in the standings, sitting in seventh place after 35 league games, and they head into this one off the back of a narrow 1-0 win over Fulham last time out.

That result provided a bounce-back response after they suffered two consecutive defeats against Manchester City and Crystal Palace. They were beaten 2-1 by the Cityzens in Gameweek 34 and lost 3-0 to Palace in the FA Cup semi-finals.

Unai Emery’s side now sit just a point behind Nottingham Forest and three points adrift of Chelsea and Newcastle, therefore Champions League qualification remains firmly in their sights as we approach the final few games.

The Cherries’ eighth-place standing in the table, meanwhile, may be enough to seal Conference League qualification, but they’ll be relying on Pep Guardiola and his City boys to win the FA Cup final vs Palace.

Andoni Iraola’s side face fervent competition for the position however, with Brentford and Brighton sitting just a point behind them in ninth and 10th place, while Marco Silva’s Cottagers are two points away in 11th.

Last weekend, Bournemouth came from behind to beat Arsenal 2-1 away at the Emirates, extending their unbeaten run in the division to five straight matches, so they’ll be heading into this one with plenty of confidence.

Bournemouth vs Aston Villa Prediction

We at SportsCasting expect a closely fought battle at the Vitality to round off Saturday’s Premier League action, and while we can see either side coming away with three points, we’re backing a score draw.

The pair played out a 1-1 stalemate when they last met in the league and drew 2-2 in their last clash on the south coast, while the Cherries have made a habit of sharing the spoils in recent matches, drawing three of their last five.

With little to separate both sides, we see that trend continuing here.

Prediction: Bournemouth 1-1 Aston Villa
