Unai Emery's Aston Villa have demonstrated dominance over Bologna, winning all four of their head-to-head European matches. Following a confident 3-1 away victory, the Birmingham side are in fantastic shape at Villa Park: they are unbeaten in their last 11 European home matches.
The tactical balance also favors the hosts. Bologna needs to come back, which will force them to open up and leave space behind. Considering Villa scores an average of 2.5 goals per match, while the Italians conceded three in the first leg, there's a good chance the difference in skill will once again translate into a big score. Experts also agree that the hosts will secure a crushing victory, exceeding the individual total of 1.5 goals.
