We're underway at the Renato Dall'Ara Stadium... Bologna 0-0 #AVFC

A wonderful stadium, let’s hope for a good contest and lots of passes into the No 10s quickly (please). And yes, the Bologna supporters opposite are wearing red and blue bibs, some waving white flags to spell the club’s name. Pretty impressive #AVFC

It's not quite the intimidating atmosphere of Fenerbahce or Lille. Bologna's players come out to 'One More Time' by Daft Punk as the Bologna ultras - 'The Freak Boys' wave flags. Emi Martinez, meanwhile, waves to seemingly everyone in the stadium as he is politely applauded. #AVF

Youri Tielemans makes his first start for #AVFC since January 25, partnering Amadou Onana in midfield. Pau Torres and Lucas Digne both retain their places in defence from the win vs West Ham, while Emi Buendia starts instead of the injured Jadon Sancho. https://www.birminghammail

Youri Tielemans is as close to a complete midfielder as #AVFC can get. If John McGinn sets Villa’s intensity, Tielemans is the artist; he's back trying to paint Villa's patterns tonight. Will be key to Villa finding space vs Bologna's man-to-man press: https://www.nytimes.com/ath

It's another big European night for Aston Villa, who face a Bologna side that have lost only two of their last 33 home European games. Unai Emery's team have won four of their last five matches on the continent. 🌍 #AVFC

“They are so, so intense and aggressive in their tactical idea, collectively getting a lot of duels. We’ve used our information from playing against them to try and understand how the match will go.” Unai Emery on Bologna #AVFC
