Aston Villa

WLWWWD

Aston Villa go into this match coming off the back of a 1-1 Premier League drawn game versus Nottingham Forest.

In that game, Aston Villa had 59% possession and 12 shots at goal with 5 on target. On the other side, Nottingham Forest had 15 shots at goal with 4 of them on target. Murillo (23' Own goal) and Neco Williams (38') scored for Nottingham Forest.

Aston Villa haven’t been able to stop scoring goals, netting in one hundred percent of their last 6 games.

They have claimed a sum of 10 during that period while also conceding a total of 5. Such a pattern might not be continued into this game, however.

Bologna

WWLWLW

Bologna head into the encounter following a 2-0 Serie A win over Lecce in their most recent fixture.

In that match, Bologna had 64% possession and 12 shots at goal with 4 of them on target. For Bologna, the goalscorers were Remo Freuler (26') and Riccardo Orsolini (92'). At the other end, Lecce had 6 attempts on goal with 1 of them on target.

The stats don’t lie, and Bologna have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 games, conceding 10 goals in all. Defensively, Bologna can certainly do much better.

📰 Team News: Aston Villa

In all likelihood, The Villans will possibly line up in a 4-2-3-1 formation for this one and select Emiliano Martinez, Matty Cash, Ezri Konsa, Pau Francisco Torres, Lucas Digne, Youri Tielemans, Amadou Onana, John McGinn, Morgan Rogers, Emiliano Buendia and Ollie Watkins.

📰 Team News: Bologna

Bologna boss Vincenzo Italiano has not got a full squad to pick from. Charalampos Lykogiannis (Tendonitis), Eivind Helland (flu), Benja Domínguez (Right hip flexor problems), Thijs Dallinga (Muscle injury) and Lukasz Skorupski (Hamstring muscle injury) are those who can’t be considered. Jhon Lucumí will not be able to play in this game through being suspended.

It’s our belief that Rossoblu could decide to make use of a 4-3-3 formation with a starting lineup of Federico Ravaglia, João Mário, Torbjørn Heggem, Nicolò Casale, Juan Miranda, Lewis Ferguson, Remo Freuler, Tommaso Pobega, F. Bernardeschi, Santiago Castro and Jonathan Rowe.

✨ Prediction

In this match, Bologna must be fancied to get a goal against this Aston Villa team, but that probably shouldn’t be enough to avoid defeat.

We’re going for a very close game with a 2-1 advantage for Aston Villa when all is said and done. Let’s wait and see how it plays out.
