The pressure is beginning to mount of Villa boss Unai Emery, with his side's dismal 1-1 draw against 10-man Sunderland at the weekend in the Premier League extending their run without a victory to six matches across all competitions.
The Villans begin this year's European adventure against a Bologna side eager for revenge after their 2-0 defeat at Villa Park in last season's competition. Vincenzo Italiano's men have made a mixed start to their season, but come into this match fresh from Saturday's morale-boosting 2-1 Serie A victory over Genoa.
Aston Villa takes on Bologna at Villa Park on Thursday, Sept. 25. Kickoff is set for 8 p.m. BST local time in the UK, making it a 9 p.m. CEST start in Europe, a 3 p.m. ET or 12 p.m. PT kickoff in the US, and a 5 a.m. AEST start in Australia on Friday.
