Aston Villa host Bologna in the Europa League on Thursday, and you can back our betting tips with this 16/1 bet builder.
European football may not come around again for a while at Villa Park unless things improve rapidly.
Unai Emery’s side have made a dire start to the season, picking up just three Premier League points from their opening five games.
As a result, Aston Villa’s relegation odds have been slashed, with the Midlands side sat in the bottom three as it stands.
Bologna, meanwhile, are currently 11th in Italy’s Serie A, with two wins and two losses from their opening four league games.
The two sides have met just once in a competitive fixture, with Villa winning 2-0 in last season’s Champions League.
Looking ahead to Thursday, Aston Villa are 4/5 favourites with football betting sites, while Bologna can be backed at around 7/2.

Aston Villa Vs Bologna Betting Tips
- Full Time Result – BOLOGNA @ 7/2
- Both Teams To Score – NO @ 10/11
- Over 9 Corners @ 11/10
Full Time Result – BOLOGNA @ 7/2
The first option in this 16/1 Europa League treble is to back Bologna for the win on Thursday.
The Italian outfit have lacked consistency so far, but do at least have two wins on the board from their opening four.
Villa, meanwhile, have been absolutely appalling and do not look anywhere near winning based on current form.
The Aston Villa next manager odds are showing Brendan Rodgers may even soon replace Emery if things don’t improve.
As a result, we can only see one winner at Villa Park this week.
Both Teams To Score – NO @ 10/11
Next, we do not think Villa look like scoring at the moment.
They have managed just one goal in five Premier League games, and appear utterly lost in attack.
We therefore feel that Bologna, who have conceded just three goals in four Serie A matches, will be able to keep a clean sheet.
Over 9 Corners @ 11/10
Finally, we foresee at least ten corners in this one.
The two sides are relatively evenly matched on paper, despite Villa’s awful form.
It therefore makes sense that there will be a good few corners at either end as each side tests the other out with crosses and tries to fashion chances.
From a Villa perspective, a corner could also be their best hope of scoring, given how poor they have been in open play.
