Aston Villa, returning to competitive action after a two-week break, aim to continue their Europa League campaign in the last eight for the third consecutive season. The club advanced past Lille 3-0 on aggregate in the Round of 16, marking their first European knockout stage victory since 2023. Villa’s recent performances in the competition have been mixed, with notable exits to PSG in the 2025 Champions League and a Conference League triumph in 2024. Domestically, Villa remain in a tight race for a Champions League spot, sitting fifth in the Premier League with nine points from ten league matches. A crucial 3-1 win over West Ham lifted them back into fourth place, leaving them five points ahead of Liverpool and six clear of Chelsea. Manager Unai Emery, with a history of success in European competitions, will be eager to build on their recent form. Bologna, meanwhile, face a familiar challenge against Villa. The Italian side has lost twice to their English counterparts in the past 18 months but has maintained an impressive record in European competitions. They have gone unbeaten in 11 consecutive matches, with their only defeat in 15 games against Villa coming at Villa Park.#aston_villa #unai_emery #bologna #vincenzo_italiano #stadio_renato_dellara
