After an unbeaten U.S. tour, Aston Villa will continue their pre-season by facing Roma in Walsall, playing at Bescot Stadium while Villa Park is being prepared for the new season.
Team Analysis:
Aston Villa ended their U.S. tour with a draw against Nashville after losing a two-goal lead, marking mixed results in pre-season under Unai Emery. Key players have returned despite transfer rumors as they prepare for their Premier League opener.
Meanwhile, Roma experienced a strong turnaround last season under Claudio Ranieri before Gian Piero Gasperini took over. In pre-season, Roma has won all matches without conceding and now face Villa and Everton ahead of their Serie A start.
Player Situation:
Aston Villa will likely start Martinez despite transfer rumors, with Emery planning a strong lineup while rotating some younger players. Injuries affect Barkley and Garcia, while several players are set to leave.
Roma will use Gasperini’s 3-4-2-1 formation, led by Ferguson or Dovbyk, with new signings joining the squad. Minor injuries to some players are expected to clear before the match.
Result Prediction:
Aston Villa have gained fitness but struggled for wins in pre-season, while Roma remain unbeaten and confident after several clean sheets. Another draw looks likely in this challenging match.
Predicted Result: Aston Villa 1-1 AS Roma.
