Bournemouth on the Up

Bournemouth have been hard to beat under Marco Rose recently. The Cherries are undefeated in nine of their previous 11 fixtures.

The south coast side are in their best spell of form this season after a four-match winning streak. Bournemouth won the first three matches at home against Sturm Graz 3-0, Sunderland 2-0 and AC Milan 3-0.

Rose’s side continued their impressive recent form by defeating Man United 3-0 away. The Cherries were on top with 2.15 XG and goals from Rayan Marcus Tavernier and Ben Gannon-Doak sealed the win.

Aston Villa in Good Long-Term Form

Unai Emery’s Aston Villa are a hard-to-beat side, losing just once in their last 11 matches.

Villa are on an eight-match unbeaten run, including seven victories. They comfortably beat Coventry 3-1 away in the EFL Cup during that spell.

The Villans are also on a run of four consecutive wins, defeating Fenerbahce 6-0, Newcastle 1-0 and Viking 3-1.

The Birmingham side extended their win streak with a 2-1 home victory against Man City. Nicolas Jackson scored twice and Villa had just 36% possession.
