Command Analysis
AFC Bournemouth
Current form
At the start of the season, Bournemouth did not show stable results, but gradually improved. Marco Rosa's team is approaching the upcoming cup meeting on a winning streak of four matches with a total score of 11:0, taking into account all tournaments. In the Premier League, the Cherries are still only 13th, and in the Europa League they are in third place with nine points. In the last two matches, Bournemouth confidently beat Milan and Manchester United 3-0 with the same score. However, it is worth correcting that Milan played far from the main squad, and there were still ten of them, and Manchester United is now in a deep crisis. In the League Cup, Bournemouth had no problems with Lincoln in the previous stage (4-0).
Disqualifications and injuries
Scott, Araujo, Toth and Milosavljevic will not play due to injuries.
Interesting betting trends
Bournemouth have won four matches in a row with a total score of 11:0.
In four of the previous five matches, Bournemouth players fouled more often than their opponents.
Approximate line–up: Di Gregorio– Hill, Diakite, Silva, Soler – Christie, Cook-Brooks, Kluivert, Gannon–Doak - Rodriguez.
Aston Villa
Current form
Aston Villa was able to stop Manchester City's 2-1 victory in the Premier League the day before. Jackson scored a double in that meeting. Due to the uncertain start period, after eight rounds, the Birmingham team occupy only the ninth place, but they are noticeably improving, going on a four-match unbeaten streak in the Premier League. In the Champions League, Unai Emery's men have a maximum of nine points and second place in the table after three rounds. At the start of the League Cup, Aston Villa confidently defeated Coventry 3-1 on the road. It should be noted that at the moment, taking into account all tournaments, the unbeaten streak of the lions has reached the eight-match mark.
Disqualifications and injuries
Onan, Ruggeri and Van Bissak are in the infirmary at Aston Villa. Cisse's exit to the field is questionable.
Interesting betting trends
In 9 of Aston Villa's previous 12 matches, more than three offsides were recorded.
Aston Villa, taking into account all the tournaments, is on a winless streak of eight matches
Bournemouth and Aston Villa are approaching the upcoming cup game in excellent playing tone, having won four matches in a row. At the same time, the Birmingham team looks preferable at a distance, as they have a winless streak of eight games. From match to match, Unai Emery demonstrates the ability to adapt tactically to his rivals, and we will undoubtedly see non-standard solutions from him today. In seven face-to-face meetings in a row, the Cherries could not beat the Lions. There is no doubt that Aston Villa is the outsider in this pair. We believe that, taking into account the coefficients set, it is worth betting that the guests will make it to the quarterfinals, possibly outside of regular time.
Our betting tip is for Aston Villa to pass by a factor of 2.10
Obviously, the opponents will have a decent rotation of the squad today, it's not worth waiting for a bright and productive game. Moreover, in the previous four face-to-face meetings, Bournemouth and Aston Villa scored more than three goals just once between the two.
The second bet is a total of less than three goals with a coefficient of 1.68
Betting on corners
When choosing a corner bet, we are based on the trend among the guests. In four of the previous six matches with Aston Villa, more than 10 deliveries were made from the corner flag, which we are waiting for today in the cup game.
The betting tip is that the total number of corners is more than 10.5 with a coefficient of 2.30
