Aston Villa v Bologna Bet Builder Tips - Intro

Date: Thursday 25 September 2025
Kick-off: 8pm
Venue: Villa Park, Birmingham
Competition: Europa League
TV Channel: TNT Sports 1

Match Preview

Less than a year ago Aston Villa were beating Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League. Now Unai Emery’s side begin their Europa League campaign with questions hanging over their form and confidence.

The Villans are on a seven-game winless run in all competitions, including Sunday’s 1-1 draw at Sunderland where they played over 55 minutes against ten men but still failed to win. Emery admitted afterwards that his team “played without identity” — a worrying sign for a side once seen as contenders to lift this trophy.

Bologna arrive in Birmingham as Coppa Italia winners and a side making steady progress in Serie A. Vincenzo Italiano’s team reached the Champions League group stage last year, pushing Roma and Milan close on the road, and will back themselves to frustrate a struggling Villa.

Villa beat Bologna 2-0 at Villa Park last October in Europe’s top competition, but given their current issues in attack — just two goals scored in six games — this contest looks set to be far tighter.

Real Betis v Nottingham Forest Bet Builder

Double Chance – Aston Villa or Draw
Despite their poor form, Villa remain tough to beat at home under Emery. Bologna are organised but less experienced at this level, making the double chance a safe opening leg.

Over 7.5 Corners
Villa’s attacking width through Sancho and Maatsen, combined with Bologna’s use of Orsolini and Cambiaghi, should drive the corner count up. Both sides average high totals, so 8+ corners looks likely.

Under 3.5 Goals
Goals have been scarce in Villa games, with all 12 of their recent fixtures staying under four. Bologna’s cautious approach in Serie A also points to another low-scoring European night.

Over 3.5 Cards
This is expected to be a cagey tie. Villa’s frustrations often spill into fouls, while Bologna’s midfield features physical enforcers like Remo Freuler. Four or more cards is a solid selection.

Ollie Watkins – 1+ Shot on Target
Watkins remains Villa’s main goal threat. Even in games where they have struggled to score, the England striker continues to test goalkeepers. One effort on target is a realistic pick.

Juan Miranda – 1+ Foul
Likely to be targeted down the flank by Villa’s pacey wingers, Miranda’s defensive style makes at least one foul highly probable.

Morgan Rogers – 1+ Foul
Still adjusting to European football, Rogers presses aggressively and often concedes minor fouls when closing down.

Ian Maatsen – 1+ Foul
Maatsen’s advanced role can leave him exposed defensively. Bologna counters will likely force him into at least one mistimed challenge.

Remo Freuler – 1+ Foul
The Swiss midfielder is Bologna’s destroyer in the middle of the park. Known for tactical fouls, especially against quick transitions, Freuler is very likely to concede one.

Real Betis v Nottingham Forest Tipman Prediction

Aston Villa’s European pedigree under Emery suggests they will find a way to avoid defeat, but their lack of goals and current slump mean it won’t be easy. Bologna are compact and competitive, making this look like a tight contest decided by fine margins.

Predicted Score: Aston Villa 1-1 Bologna
