Aston Villa vs Bologna Tips

Tip 1

Villa’s summer recruit has managed this line in both of their Champions League outings so far, testing Manuel Neuer in the Villa Park win over Bayern Munich at the beginning of the month.

Those two occasions mean he’s now registered a SOT in four of his 10 appearances, and these chances only increase with the return of more injured teammates affording him more box-to-box duties.

Both Ryan Gravenberch and Alexis Mac Allister – Liverpool’s sitting midfield pair – both registered a shot on target in the 2-0 home win over this opponent, and Onana shares similar qualities to both of these players.

Tip 2

He’s netted three goals since trading Everton for Villa before the start of the season.

One of these strikes came in Villa’s opening UCL clash with Young Boys, with Onana’s goal topping off a fantastic evening after a 41-year hiatus from Europe’s prestige competition.

In these three efforts so far, Onana has displayed a knack for versatile goalscoring, proving a threat from set-pieces, as well as long range efforts.
