The two sides clashed in the Champions League last season and the Premier League side won 2-0. However, Aston Villa head into this match in poor form following a winless domestic start.<\/p><p>Unai Emery&rsquo;s side are still searching for their first league win of the season, sitting near the bottom of the table after two defeats and three draws. A penalty shootout exit to Brentford in the EFL Cup has only added to their frustrations.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Unai through the years in the Europa League&hellip;&#128281; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/pjxlZvJiNp\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/pjxlZvJiNp<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Aston Villa (@AVFCOfficial) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AVFCOfficial\/status\/1970764186168050023?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>September 24, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Aston Villa vs Bologna Best Bets<\/h2><figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Bets<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Moneyline<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Moneyline<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Full Time Result<\/td><td>Aston Villa: -120, Bologna: +340<\/td><td>Draw: +260<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Draw No Bet<\/td><td>Aston Villa: -300<\/td><td>Bologna: +210<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Total Goals<\/td><td>Over 2.5: -105<\/td><td>Under 2.5: -135<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Aston Villa to Win and Both Teams to Score<\/td><td>Yes: +280<\/td><td>No: +185<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Bologna&nbsp;to Win and Both Teams to Score<\/td><td>Yes: +700<\/td><td>No: +575<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure><p>(Odds via&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/go-BetMGM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>BetMGM<\/a><\/strong>)<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Aston Villa vs Bologna Preview<\/h2><p>Back in the Europa League for the first time since 2008, the four-time winner Emery will hope to use his pedigree in this competition to inspire a turnaround.

Their lack of cutting edge has left them languishing near the bottom of the Premier League.<\/p><p>Bologna, meanwhile, have also been involved in tight contests. Three of their last four games have ended 1-0 either way. With both teams leaning towards cagey matches and neither showing much attacking fluency, the under 2.5 goals looks like the smart play here.<\/p><p>\n\n\n            <div class=\"MvpBookmakerTable\"
