Aston Villa v Bologna – Thursday, 8pm

Check the latest odds at William Hill.

Aston Villa followed up their 3-1 victory in Italy last week with a 1-1 draw against Nottingham Forest in the Premier League on Sunday, it’s a point that keeps Villa in fourth but now seven points clear of Chelsea in sixth as they hunt UEFA Champions League football for next season.
Unai Emery is a master of this competition and his side are expected to go all the way, they’ve now won eight successive UEFA Europa League games becoming just the sixth English club is history to win eight in a row, they are 8/13 to complete the job here with another victory.
The Villans should be confident of avoiding any unnecessary drama on home soil given they’ve also won fifteen of their last seventeen major European games in front of their own faithful (D1, L1).
——————————–
Bologna’s European dreams for next season look to be hanging on by a thread following the 3-1 defeat last Thursday, despite bouncing back with a 2-0 victory against Leece in Serie A but Rossoblu remain nine points behind Roma in sixth.
Vincenzo Italiano’s side should at least find the back of the net in this one given they’ve scored in nineteen successive away games since losing to Villa back in September, William Hill have priced the Italian side at 4/1 to win on the night.
Bologna have won all five UEFA Europa League away games since losing on this ground in September, so could become just the third side to win six road trips in one season in this competition.
