Head To Head
The pair have only met once before, with Aston Villa securing a 2-0 win in October of last year.
Aston Villa Form
Aston Villa have struggled for wins and goals this season, with the side unable to put their opponents away in any of their opening six in all competitions.
Their last three matches have all ended in draws after 90 minute. Prior to scoring in each of their last two, Villa had failed to find the back of the net in their previous four, with Villa enduring a torrid run in front of goal.
Big European nights can often see the goals flow, but they can also see drab affairs in which both sides settle for a point early on. I predict the latter in this one as Villa stuttering attack is indebted to their defence, with the home side securing a point.
Bologna Form
Bologna have struggled for consistency this season, with their four league games resulting in two wins and two defeats.
Positively, they do arrive on the back of a 2-1 win over Genoa in Serie A. However, it will be a worry that they have lost both of their away games in the league, with the side unable to pick up any points on the road this season.
While a win in their opening European game would be a major statement, I do not back Bologna to take all three points. Villa have struggled for wins and goals, but Bologna have been poor on the road. I predict a draw in a drab game between the two misfiring sides.
Verdict
I predict that this encounter will see the points shared, with the two struggling sides unable to notch an important win.
