Bournemouth vs Aston Villa Prediction & Pick

All EPL expert picks and predictions are according to FiveThirtyEight projections.
Outcome: Aston Villa Wins
Percentages: Bournemouth (27%) | Aston Villa (47%) | Draw (26%)

Both FanDuel Sportsbook and FiveThirtyEight agree that Aston Villa should defeat Bournemouth to start the season on a high note. There's a lot to like about their chances, especially considering the club tied for the 10th-best goal differential in the league last year. The inexperience for Bournemouth may be too much to overcome here.

I'll take a chance on Aston Villa ending a three-match losing streak against Bournemouth and giving them a sour welcome back. That's why I'd roll with Aston Villa at +115 on the moneyline.
