What speaks for Aston Villa vs FC Bologna in our betting tips?
Aston Villa's last ten matches paint a picture of fluctuations. With three wins, four draws and three defeats, there is currently no clear line. The most striking aspect is the defense, which has been solid in many games but has repeatedly made crucial lapses. In total, Villa conceded eleven goals for twelve goals scored, which indicates a rather cautious style of play. At Villa Park in particular, the English side are finding it difficult to establish consistency, which is why the form curve is currently rather neutral. The aim for the upcoming games is to develop more penetration in attack.Interim conclusion on Aston Villa: The financial strength of the English side is a bargaining chip. However, the performance of this club has rarely been right of late. Therefore, it is at least questionable whether the team from Birmingham is the favorite here.

That was Aston Villa's last game!
The last five games show just how tight things are at Villa at the moment. In the EFL Cup against Brentford, a 1-1 draw was not enough as they lost the penalty shoot-out. In the Premier League, they drew 0-0 at Everton FC before losing 3-0 at home to Crystal Palace. They were also beaten 1-0 at Brentford. Most recently, they drew 0-0 at home to Newcastle, who looked stable but once again failed to produce enough offensively. All in all, Aston Villa are faced with the task of developing more determination in their final actions.

How good is FC Bologna's current form?
Bologna have a record of four wins and six defeats in their last ten games - without a single draw. With 19:17 goals, the team is quite capable of scoring in attack, but shows weaknesses in the back line. Away from home in particular, they often lack the stability needed to win close games. Nevertheless, the team has shown that it can be dangerous at any time with strong individual actions. In Serie A, the current yield has not been enough to sustainably advance to the upper regions of the table. Overall, their form can be described as inconsistent, but certainly unpredictable.Interim summary of FC Bologna: The team has fought its way up in Italy. However, the start to the new season began with two defeats away from home. On the other hand, AS Roma and AC Milan were tough opponents.

This is how FC Bologna last played!
The Italians' recent matches underline their fluctuations. In Milan, Bologna lost 1-0 to AC, but had previously beaten Como Calcio 1-0 at home. Another 0:1 defeat followed against Roma. In the test matches, the defense was more clearly challenged: A 2:4 loss against OFI Crete, while a 1:0 away win against VfB Stuttgart. Although Bologna have shown offensive qualities, they remain vulnerable in defense. The team will need to be more consistent, especially in Europe, to stand a chance against the robust English side.
FC Bologna
System: 4-3-3.
H2H comparison of Aston Villa vs FC Bologna
The history of both teams is very limited so far. There was only one clash in the 2024/25 Champions League season, when Aston Villa won 2-0 at home after a goalless draw at half-time. The goals were scored by Durán and McGinn, who led the English side to victory with their efforts. This record is naturally too thin to draw any clear conclusions. Nevertheless, it shows that Villa have already gained experience in direct encounters and certainly enjoy advantages in Birmingham. For the current analysis, the H2H comparison is a supplementary factor, but not decisive.
