Bologna vs Aston Villa Preview and Team News
Bologna Team News
Bologna have been in fairly strong form lately, going unbeaten in four of their last five outings and winning three of them. Their most recent result was a 2-1 win over Cremonese in Serie A, a match that ended with two red cards late on.
In that game, winger Federico Bernardeschi impressed with a 91% passing accuracy and a 100% success rate in long balls. Fellow attacker Jonathan Rowe completed 100% of his passes.
However, the Rossoblu will face several selection issues. The suspension of Martin Vitik will affect the defensive setup, while injuries to Thijs Dallinga, Charalampos Lykogiannis, Benja Dominguez, Jens Odgaard, and Lukasz Skorupski further complicate matters.
Bologna predicted lineup vs Aston Villa (4-2-3-1): Ravaglia; Miranda, Lucumi, Zortea, Mario; Moro, Freuler; Rowe, Sohm, Bernardeschi; Castro.
Aston Villa Team News
Aston Villa have shown mixed form recently, with two losses and two wins in their last four matches. During that span, they’ve scored just six goals while conceding five.
Their last Premier League encounter ended in a 2-0 win over West Ham United, where they controlled 59% of possession. Villa’s xG was quite impressive at 1.69, largely driven by the 23 shots they took throughout the game. The team also won 55% and 50% of all their ground and aerial duels, respectively.
Fortunately for the Villans, the squad are largely healthy. Boubacar Kamara is the only player ruled out with a knee issue. He’s not expected to return until early June this year.
Aston Villa predicted lineup vs Bologna (4-2-3-1): Martinez; Digne, Torres, Konsa, Cash; Barkley, Onana; Rogers, McGinn, Sancho; Watkins.
Bologna vs Aston Villa Prediction
- Pick: Aston Villa to win or draw
- Odds: -286 (20Bet)
- Correct score prediction: Bologna 1-2 Aston Villa
We expect Villa to either win or at least secure a draw. They’ve beaten Bologna in both previous meetings, once in the Europa League and once in the Champions League.
Considered one of the best-performing sides in this tournament this season, the visitors finished the league phase in second place with seven wins from eight games. Bologna, meanwhile, won just four of their eight matches.
Bologna vs Aston Villa Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Both teams to score
- Odds: -122 (20Bet)
We expect both teams to get on the scoresheet. Villa should have the upper hand, having scored 14 goals in eight league-phase matches, averaging almost two per game. Bologna recorded the same number of goals, although they were unable to convert them into as many victories as the Villans.
While the Rossoblu should be capable of scoring at least once, they’ve also missed the most big chances in this tournament (26). Villa are likely to dominate the scoring, but Bologna should remain competitive.
