How the teams line up

Confirmed line-ups arrive about an hour before kick-off.

Home

Aston Villa

A strong, well-drilled team. Villa tend to win games in front of their own fans at Villa Park by controlling midfield rather than overwhelming opponents.

Away

A solid mid-table side. Bournemouth are hard to break down on the road at Villa Park, but chances can be scarce at the other end too.

Match preview

AFC Bournemouth visit Villa Park to face Aston Villa in the 2026/27 Premier League. We project 1.91 expected goals for Villa against 0.95 for Bournemouth, and that gap drives our 60% rating for Villa. Line-ups arrive about an hour before kick-off. A missing key player can change this more than any other factor, so wait for them.
