Aston Villa hosts Bologna at the Villa Park in a match from the third week of the Champions League’s league stage. This is a perfect opportunity to present you our Betting on underdogs in football matches guide. Are you ready to go?
Aston Villa are perfect so far since their return to the competition. Unai Emery’s team has two goals from two matches played in the league stage, and they also kept two clean sheets against Young Boys and Bayern Munich. Now Villa look close to securing a spot in the knockout phase. It’d be exciting for them to do it.
Before the break Aston Villa achieved one of the huge European wins in their history – 1-0 against Bayern Munich at the Villa Park. The only goal in the match was scored in the 79th minute when Jhon Duran put the ball in the net. The Colombian striker came in from the bench and scored after an assist from Pau Torres. It was a great execution by Duran.
Bologna won just one point from their first two games in the Champions League this season. The 0-0 draw against Shakhtar Donetsk was followed by a 0-2 loss against Liverpool at the Anfield. The Italians are aware that maybe this is a time for their first win in the tournament. But against Villa it won’t be easy for sure.
Bologna’s recent form is surely not perfect – the Rossoblu have won just one of their last five matches in all competitions. We can say that the new head coach Vincenzo Italiano is still trying to adapt to the team after Thiago Motta’s departure to Juventus. For Bologna it was not the best moment to change the coach, but they didn’t have a choice.
That’s the Betting on underdogs in football matches guide for the Champions League clash between Aston Villa and Bologna. Good luck!
