Aston Villa will return to the Champions League on Tuesday as they look to follow up on their amazing victory over Bayern Munich. Up next is Bologna at Villa Park, with Unai Emery’s side looking to extend their good start to the season with a victory against Serie A’s draw specialists.
After opening their UCL campaign away to Young Boys, winning 0-3, they won 1-0 at home against the Bundesliga giants. Unai Emery’s side’s underlying statistic is the two clean sheets they have kept in these matches, highlighting the solidity and compactness in their approaches.
They warmed up for this match with a 1-3 win away to Fulham in the Premier League. They ceded possession with 47% of the ball. However, their incisive play resulted in 14 shots and five on target, to Fulham’s ten shots and four on target.
Unai Emery’s focus will be retaining his side’s solidity but enhancing their attacking dynamism as they focus on breaking the stubborn Serie A side’s defensive structure. Our free football predictions show that Villa are primed for a tough match, but they are heartened by recent results that they can win and take three points.
Bologna have been the draw specialists in Serie A and across Europe. In their opening eight matches in Serie A, they have won one, drawn six times, and lost one. They have scored nine times and conceded 11 times.
Out of their six draws, only two have been 0-0 stalemates, which means four have been scored draws. This trend shows that Bologna have the attacking potency to break down most team’s rearguards, which bolsters their ability to turn these draws into wins.
However, by conceding in most of these draws, Bologna have also exposed their defensive frailties.
Last time out, Bologna were held to a 2-2 draw away to Genoa as they lost a 2-goal lead to drop two points. They had the lion’s share of the possession, with 62% and had 7 shots on target to Genoa’s 4.
Football predictions on 22Bet show that Bologna will focus on retaining their solidity and compactness when facing Aston Villa as they bid to get all three points at Villa Park on Tuesday.
