In the past two years, Bologna has visited Aston Villa twice. The first time was in the Champions League, and now it's in the Europa League. The Emilian side lost and failed to score in both of their first visits to Birmingham. The Lions will travel to Italy for the first leg of the Europa League quarterfinals, but the Premier League side will use their experience to their advantage and believe they can continue their European campaign.

With odds around +188, Aston Villa remains the overwhelming favorite to win this Europa League; the result is no coincidence, as their manager, Emery, has won this competition four times in the past with Spanish clubs. At the same time, Aston Villa has had a much-needed break thanks to the international break, which has allowed Youri Tielemans to recover from his injury, and he could very well start against the Serie A side.

Bologna has established itself as a formidable force in Europe, achieving the club's best-ever unbeaten streak in European matches: 11 games without defeat. However, it was Aston Villa who last beat them. Furthermore, it's worth noting that in Bologna's last three visits to English clubs, they lost without scoring a goal.

Our Bologna vs Aston Villa Prediction

In the Europa League Round of 16, Aston Villa faced a similar opponent to Bologna in the previous round. The Birmingham side performed well, winning 1-0 in France against Lille in the first leg and completing the job at Villa Park.

The return of Tielemans compensates for other absences such as Kamara and Barkley. For both teams, winning the Europa League represents the most likely path back to the Champions League, but of the two, Aston Villa seems better positioned to lift the trophy this year, which has been won three times by an English team since 2017.

Our prediction for Bologna vs Aston Villa is: Aston Villa to win.

Prediction:

 

Aston Villa win the match
