Joe Cole's 18/1 Bet Builder

Saturday night’s Premier League action features a crunch game in the battle for European qualification as Aston Villa head off down to Bournemouth.

Villa still have their eye on sneaking into the UEFA Champions League spots in the final weeks of the campaign as the Cherries chase a first-ever continental adventure for 2025/26.

Paddy Power ambassador Joe Cole correctly called a win for Andoni Iraola’s side at Arsenal last week in an 8/1 shot, so let’s get his Bournemouth v Aston Villa betting tips.

He’s got three player picks in here, too, which is covered by Paddy’s Super Sub offer, meaning if a player is substituted, the pick carries over to his replacement. Let’s get his tips.

This should bee a really interesting game. Bournemouth are in a good position, they are going for Europe – but with the pressure off slightly.

They are playing well, some really free-flowing football, and they are unbeaten in their last five games.

Villa are in a different situation, they’re going for the Champions League, and you cannot sleep on them. This is a crucial game for Villa, if they want to get to where they want to be, and they’ve got two very winnable games to end the season against Tottenham and Manchester United.

I think Villa need to win all three of their games to get into the Champions League and I think they can do it. Chelsea, Newcastle and Nottingham Forest all have to play each other so there will be points dropped there.

Three wins puts Villa on 69 points, so I’m going for it and backing Villa to win this game.

I’m also going for Ollie Watkins to score. He’s got the bit between his teeth, so I will have him for two or more shots also, he’s averaging three per game.

For Bournemouth, Evanilson to get on the scoresheet is always a good bet, he’s got 10 in the league already this season. He’s a real livewire in the box, but I still think Villa get the win.
