Aston Villa vs A.F.C. Bournemouth History

The first time these teams met was in 1971 and they faced off just three more times until the turn of the century. Ex-England international David Platt was on the scoresheet for Villa when they beat Bournemouth, 2-1, in 1988.

Although on-field meetings have been few and far between, the clubs have shared a select number of players over the years:

• Tyrone Mings departed Vitality Stadium in 2019, joining Villa for a £25m transfer fee, after he had spent a brief spell on loan at the Villans.

• Tommy Elphick also previously traded his red and black shirt for claret and blue, signing at Villa Park in 2016, though he returned to Bournemouth in a coaching role in 2021.

• Gary Cahill is another to have played for either club, though at opposing ends of his playing career. In 2000 he joined Villa as a teenager and in 2022 he hung up his boots, aged 37, after two years on the south coast.

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

Multiple relegations from the English top flight in recent years have meant that this fixture has not been so frequent for Bournemouth. They met Villa in the Premier League for the first time as recently as 2015, a slender 1-0 defeat courtesy of Rudy Gestede's decisive goal. Since then, the teams battled one another just a handful of times.

A 3-0 win in March 2023 was Aston Villa's first league win over Bournemouth at Villa Park since 1972. The Cherries took victory on their first two Premier League visits to the Birmingham-based club, in 2016 and 2019, with Josh King amongst the goals on both occasions.

They were pitted against each other in the 2015 FA Cup, their first pairing in the competition. Villa won by two goals to one in this Fourth Round tie on their way to reaching the final, albeit a losing effort (4-0) to Arsenal.

Until 2023 Bournemouth hadn't lost a league fixture at Villa Park, though the Villans emerged victorious in this fixture in both the 2022/23 & 2023/24 seasons as Unai Emery's side found the net three times on both occasions.
