A.F.C. Bournemouth vs Aston Villa History

These teams met for the first time in the 1971/72 Third Division. Both sides were victorious in their home fixture but it was Villa that went on to win the title and gain promotion to the Second Division. Meanwhile, Bournemouth missed out on promotion by just 3 points.

They met again in the 1987/88 Second Division which saw the Villans once again secure promotion, this time to the first tier of English football. Following this, the teams would not share a pitch again for almost 30 years.

Despite their meetings coming few and far between until just a few years ago, Bournemouth and Villa have had a few players in common.

• Gary Cahill joined Villa in 2000, aged just 15 at the time, and two decades later he completed a free transfer to Bournemouth from Chelsea.

• In 2016, Tommy Elphick also swapped Dean Court for Villa Park. He would later return to Bournemouth in a coaching role in 2021.

• Villa later signed Tyrone Mings from Bournemouth in 2019, for a transfer fee of £25m, after the England defender had been on loan at the Villans.

A.F.C. Bournemouth vs Aston Villa Head-to-Head

Multiple relegations from the English top flight in recent years, for both clubs but more so Bournemouth, have meant this fixture has not been very frequent.

The Cherries and the Villans met in the Premier League for the first time as recently as 2015. The latter earned a slender 1-0 win, courtesy of Rudy Gestede's solitary goal.

This exact fixture was contested on the opening weekend of the 2022/23 season, in which the hosts took all 3 points with a 2-0 victory. Jefferson Lerma struck in the 2nd minute after kick-off, for what was the quickest goal ever scored by a newly-promoted team in the opening round of a Premier League season.

The clubs were drawn together in the 2015 FA Cup, their first-ever pairing in the competition. Villa won by two goals to one in this Fourth Round tie and they went on to reach the final at Wembley, albeit a losing effort (4-0) to Arsenal.
