Bournemouth welcome Aston Villa to the Vitality Stadium this weekend with both sides chasing European qualification, though Villa's heavy schedule appears to be taking its toll on their away form.

The Cherries enter the clash in strong home form, unbeaten in their last two league matches at the Vitality, while Villa have struggled on their travels, failing to defeat Bournemouth in their last three away league encounters.

Brazilian forward Evanilson, who has netted eight goals in his last 13 matches, could prove decisive as Andoni Iraola's aggressive front-foot outfit looks to capitalize against a Villa side showing signs of fatigue.

Bournemouth vs. Aston Villa preview

Fresh off their impressive 2-1 triumph over Arsenal, Bournemouth look to continue their solid home form when they welcome an Aston Villa side with European ambitions to the Vitality Stadium.

The Cherries have found their stride under Andoni Iraola, going unbeaten in their last two home fixtures, while Villa enter this clash having edged past Fulham 1-0 in their previous outing.

Brazilian striker Evanilson, who scored a dramatic 96th-minute equalizer when these sides drew 1-1 back in October, brings red-hot form into the match with eight goals in his last 13 appearances.

Villa's away form remains a concern for Unai Emery, having won just seven of 17 road games this season, potentially showing the toll of their demanding Champions League and FA Cup campaigns.

Both teams face significant injury concerns, with Bournemouth missing Dango Ouattara and Enes Ünal, while Villa will be without the influential Youri Tielemans despite his decisive goal against Fulham.

History suggests goals at both ends—ten of their last 14 meetings have seen both teams score—setting up what promises to be an intriguing battle between two sides with European aspirations.
