Why We’re Backing Under 2.5 Goals @ 4/5 with BetMGM
- Both Aston Villa and Bologna have shown strong defensive organisation in recent matches, with Villa conceding few clear-cut chances at home and Bologna boasting one of Serie A’s lower xGA figures this season.
- A majority of Bologna’s away games in 2025/26 have finished with under 2.5 goals, reflecting their conservative approach on the road.
- Unai Emery and Vincenzo Italiano both favour compact mid-blocks and calculated build-up play, often resulting in fewer high-tempo, end-to-end sequences.

Why We’re Backing Remo Freuler to be Carded @ 7/2 with Sky Bet
- Freuler plays as Bologna’s primary ball-winning midfielder, tasked with breaking up opposition attacks – a role naturally prone to tactical fouls.
- Historically, Freuler averages over 1.5 fouls per 90 minutes and has received a steady stream of bookings across Serie A and international play.
