How both teams go into Bournemouth vs Aston Villa

Bournemouth’s hopes of European football for 2025-26 may be over. The Cherries find themselves seven points behind Aston Villa, and they’ll have just three games left to play when this match comes around. So it could be make or break. And even if Bournemouth do manage to get the win against Villa, they’ve left themselves a mountain to climb in such a short time. The Cherries were in a good position not too long ago, but a run of just one win in nine in the league — which includes four defeats — has seen them tumble.

Aston Villa, meanwhile, are right in the thick of it. A recent defeat to Manchester City has seen Villa slightly lose ground in the race for Champions League football, with fifth now enough for Villa to secure a return to the competition. They sit three points behind fifth with four games left to play, but will take heart from the fact that those above them have tough fixtures to end the season. Villa don’t have an easy final run-in either, despite Bournemouth being their last opponent in the top half of the table. The Villans end the campaign at home to Tottenham Hotspur and then away at Manchester United.
