Aston Villa are having their best start to a season in years. With only one defeat in the Premier League, they are one point off the lead. Unai Emery’s team now knows how to win on class. Only in four rounds out of eight they were ahead of their opponent in the number of dangerous moments.
This summer, Bologna lost two of its best players and its head coach, who led it to success. The club has six draws in Serie A after eight rounds. It is in the top 4 in terms of chances created and the best in pressing, but has only managed to win once.
Aston Villa is the clear favorite. The team manages to get almost the most out of their chances. Bologna have a huge problem with that. It just does not get the result it plays for. The club is also plagued by constant injuries. Aston Villa should win at home.
