Game Preview
Aston Villa’s goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez showed his good form once more by keeping a penalty against Fulham. Yes, he did concede, but that was more due to the defensive line’s poor reaction rather than his fault.
Fulham was the Villains’ latest prey. Unai Emery’s team was better than the Cottagers at Craven, 1-3, showing all the power they possess in all the lines.
Bologna suffered a knockdown in Genoa. They were up 0-2, only to allow late goals and see their rivals claw back and take a point. This is yet another poor result for this crew, who simply isn’t playing good football this year.
The Italian team’s biggest problem is its offense. In three of the last six meetings, counting the one in Genoa, they couldn’t score. And that’s a must if you want points in the Champions League.
Aston Villa vs. Bologna Head to Head
This will be the first meeting between these teams in their history.
Aston Villa vs. Bologna Prediction
Bologna is a modest team for the UEFA Champions League competition. We need to say that out loud. Yes, they played appealing football last year, but Serie A differs from UCL. Meanwhile, Aston Villa is ruthless at home, so our pick is for the home team to post a victory.
