Bournemouth Preview – Can Bournemouth continue turnaround?
A desperately needed 3-1 home win against Brighton last time out in the Premier League not only earned Bournemouth a vital three points but also ended a worrying 4-match losing streak in the top flight which has landed The Cherries in the relegation zone.
Despite that win over south coast rivals, Brighton, Bournemouth still remain in the bottom three but they’re at least now level on points with fourth from bottom club, West Ham and just 2 points adrift of Saturday’s visitors, Aston Villa.
This upcoming clash against Villa therefore takes on even greater significance and is one that Bournemouth will be eager to win – however, 5 defeats out of their last 7 matches and just 1 home win out of their last 6 matches at their Vitality Stadium make this a nervy affair for the hosts.
Bournemouth possess a home record of 3-4-5 13/18 and have kept just 2 clean sheets at home to date.
Aston Villa Preview – Can Aston Villa build on Watford result?
It’s a testament to Watford’s recent revival that a 2-1 home win for Aston Villa last time out in the Premier League was considered a great result for the west midlands club, and one which helped lift Villa away from the immediate danger of slipping down into the bottom three.
Nevertheless, this trip to face Bournemouth in this relegation ‘six-pointer’ is also a crucial fixture for the visitors too as they look to pull further away from the relegation zone, and although recent results have been mixed, they’ve at least won a couple of their last 5 matches overall.
An earlier 2-1 win at Burnley also helped Villa keep their heads above water despite also losing to Watford 3-0 away and receiving a 6-1 hammering at home courtesy of Manchester City who ran rampant at Villa Park.
Following 5 defeats from their previous 6 matches on the road, Aston Villa have staged a mini revival since as they’ve picked up 4 points from their subsequent two away matches (2-1 at Burnley and a 1-1 draw at Brighton).
