Aston Villa vs Bologna tips and predictions

Bologna can deny Aston Villa

There's not much between Aston Villa and Bologna in the Champions League. The hosts are in sixth place with 6 points, compared to their opponents who are in 26th place on 1 point.

This isn't a confident view but the short price for Aston Villa has made them a horrible bet. Bologna don't look likely to get the win but they can cause some problems.

This clash has proved tricky to assess with confidence but given the hosts' recent defensive record on their own patch, the draw is the recommendation..

The Villains are justifiable favourites and it is possible they just don't give any morsels away to I Rossoblu. It's not a strong view and it won't be for everyone, but the No BTTS bet could be sensible. And if you're interested in the goal line, it's under 1.5 goals standing out in this one considering the prices available there.

Aston Villa have drawn 4 of their last 11 matches on their own soil, most recently when they drew 0-0 with Manchester Utd at home earlier this month. Bologna have drawn 10 of their last 15 matches. They shared the spoils with Genoa last Saturday. The conclusion is there's nothing to like about the home or away win prices. Stalemate beckons after what looks likely to be a close encounter.
