Unai Emery described his team as "lazy" after Villa’s 1-1 draw against ten-man Sunderland at the weekend and urged his players to “recover their identity" after another hugely disappointing display. The West Midlands club have endured a nightmare start to the campaign and have looked a shadow of the side that made it to the quarter-finals of last season’s Champions League. They’ll need to turn around their fortunes and quickly, especially against tough Italian opposition.
Last season was one to remember for Bologna fans as the club secured a 1-0 win over AC Milan to lift the Coppa Italia. That victory also delivered a first piece of major silverware for manager Vincenzo Italiano who has excelled in European competition, leading his previous club Fiorentina to successive Europa Conference League finals. This season, the Felsinians have won two of their opening four games, including a 2-1 win over Genoa last time out.
Can Bologna gain revenge for their 2-0 loss to Villa last season? Or will the Villain’s woes continue? Tune in to find out. Here's how to watch Aston Villa vs Bologna live streams from anywhere in the world, and potentially for free.
