Aston Villa go face Roma: We dey expect hot match for Villa Park!
Aston Villa dey continue dem summer preparations with one friendly match against Roma for Villa Park on Wednesday (6 August). E go be serious clash!
Unai Emery boys don already play five friendly matches this pre-season, including three for United States against Eintracht Frankfurt, St. Louis City and Nashville SC. Dem win only once, draw twice and lose twice. Hmm, not too good o!
- Walsall 1-0 Aston Villa
- Hansa Rostock 3-1 Aston Villa
- Eintracht Frankfurt 2-2 Aston Villa
- St. Louis City 1-2 Aston Villa
- Nashville SC 2-2 Aston Villa
Now, dem dey come back house go face Italian giants Roma, wey don win all three of dem friendly matches so far without conceding goal. Dem dey try improve on top of dem fifth-place finish for Serie A last season. E go be tough test for Villa!
How Aston Villa go line up for this high-profile friendly for Villa Park?
Ross Barkley and Andres Garcia no dey play for Villa because of injury, and dem no dey expect dem to return against Roma. Lewis Dobbin and new signing Zepiqueno Redmond sef likely go join dem for treatment table. Ahia!
But Emery still get strong squad, including players like Ollie Watkins, Morgan Rogers and Emi Martinez. Roma go be big test, so Emery go probably field him strongest possible XI as Villa dey look for dem second win of the summer.
Key Players wey we dey expect to shine
All eyes go dey on Ollie Watkins. If he dey form, Roma defenders go suffer!
Prediction
E go be tight match, but I dey see Aston Villa dey pull one narrow win. Make we support dem!
