Ollie Watkins’ 94th minute goal last week in Italy ensured that Villa take a two-goal lead into the return leg at Villa Park. This will be the third time that Villa have hosted Bologna, with the previous two occasions being a 1-0 win in 2025, and a 2-0 win in 2024. Can Villa finish the tie off and book their place in the semi-finals of the Europa League?

Former Norwich City player Jonathan Rowe thought he was taking Bologna to Villa Park with a one goal deficit after his 90th minute strike, but Watkins’ stoppage time goal leaves Bologna two goals back. The visitors will have an uphill task trying to overturn this deficit, and with the Europa League looking like Bologna’s only chance of securing European football next year, their season hangs in the balance.

Our football spread betting prices have the Supremacy as Aston Villa / Bologna at 0.9–1.1. This means a ‘buy’ bet at 1.1 would need Aston Villa to win by two goals to start turning a profit (e.g. a two-goal win would win 0.9× your stake, a three-goal win 1.9× your stake, a four-goal win 2.9× your stake, etc.).
A 0.9 ‘sell’ bet would need either a draw, or Bologna to win, to turn a profit (e.g. a draw would win 0.9× your stake, and a Bologna win by one goal would win 1.9× your stake, etc.).
Our spread betting Total Goals line is 2.95–3.15. This means a 3.15 ‘buy’ bet would need at least four goals to be scored in the match to start turning a profit. Conversely, a 2.95 ‘sell’ bet would need two goals or fewer to be scored in the match to turn a profit.
Remember that with spread betting, if you get the bet wrong, losses can exceed your stake/deposit. For example, a 3.15 ‘buy’ Total Goals bet would lose 3.15× your stake if the match ended 0–0. In the 1.1 ‘buy’ Supremacy bet example above, if the game ended a draw, the bet would lose 1.1× your stake. If Bologna won by one goal, then it would lose 2.1× your stake, etc. And in the 0.9 ‘sell’ Supremacy example above, the bet would lose 0.1× your stake on a 1–0 Aston Villa win, 1.1× your stake on a 2–0 Aston Villa win, etc.
Our Player Goal Minutes market will be live around 24 hours before kick-off.
