Expert Analysis and Predictions
Martin Green has a proven track record in soccer betting, showing profitability in various competitions, including Euro qualifying, the EFL Cup, FA Cup, and the Champions League. Here are his top picks for the Bournemouth vs. Aston Villa Premier League match:
Both Teams to Score & Under 4.5 Goals (-105)
According to the expert, Aston Villa has consistently found the net, scoring in each of their last 11 Premier League matches. Similarly, Bournemouth has scored in 13 of their last 17 home fixtures. However, games at Vitality Stadium have often seen fewer goals, with only one of those 17 home matches exceeding a total of 4.5 goals. While betting on “Both teams to score” alone is heavily favored at -200, combining this prediction with “under 4.5 goals” offers a more attractive cumulative odds of -105, available at DraftKings Sportsbook.
Draw (+260)
Green also suggests that a draw is a distinct possibility in this encounter, priced at +260. He believes the teams appear evenly matched and could potentially cancel each other out. While a draw might not be the ideal result for either side given their respective season goals, it seems a likely outcome. The reverse fixture earlier this season, played on October 26, ended in a 1-1 draw, marking their second draw in the last three meetings between the two clubs. This draw prediction is available at odds of +260 at BetMGM Sportsbook.
