Bournemouth vs Aston Villa prediction and betting tips on May 10, 2025
Game Prediction
In the 36th round of the English Premier League on May 10, 2025, Bournemouth will face Aston Villa. The hosts are fighting for eighth place and a spot in the Conference League, while the visitors are aiming to stay in the Champions League, which requires finishing in the top 5 in England—both teams need nothing less than a win.
Our Prediction for Bournemouth vs Aston Villa
The club from "Vitality" appointed manager Andoni Iraola in the summer of the year before last. The Basque had never worked outside Spain before, but he quickly adapted to life in England, finishing last season with 48 points and in twelfth place. Iraola returned from the Pyrenees earlier, back in 2022. Initially, he managed to lift the Birmingham side to seventh place, and last season, actively participating in the Conference League, to seventh again.
This season, Aston Villa’s schedule is extremely congested, which inevitably takes its toll despite notable improvements in January. In the Champions League, as virtual debutants, they managed to reach the quarterfinals, where they lost by a single goal to PSG—1-3 and 3-2. In the cup, the favorites were surprisingly thrashed by Crystal Palace in the semifinals, 0-3. Before that, they lost to Manchester City, dropping to seventh in the Premier League. However, regrouping, they managed to defeat Fulham in the last round. Bournemouth, after selling Solanke in the summer, continued to progress. However, they did experience a slump from late February to early April, when they failed to win in eight consecutive matches. Even after a 1-0 win over Fulham, they suffered defeats to Crystal Palace and Manchester United. On the other hand, taking advantage of Arsenal being tied up in the Champions League semifinals, they managed to secure a win.
Kluivert and his teammates average 1.57 goals per match, while conceding significantly fewer—1.2. The visitors from Birmingham have slightly more modest statistics, 1.57 scored and 1.4 conceded per match, but are higher up the table.
