aston villa
This has not been the kind of preseason that Aston Villa was hoping for. They have only one win in their five friendlies this summer, and even the draws have looked very unimpressive. AS Roma comes calling on Wednesday night, and the side from the eternal city could prove to be a formidable opponent.
Villa have returned from their preseason tour of the United States, but at least this summer’s edition was superior to last year’s trip, as the Villans went winless in America in 2024.

Aston Villa Team News vs AS Roma
Aston Villa manager Unai Emery has confirmed that both Ross Barkley and Andres Garcia could actually miss the season opener against Newcastle United due to injury.
Hence they will not play a part in this exhibition match. No need to risk them. Neither player made the trip to the United States.
Other than that, there is nothing else to cover injury wise, so let’s just get to the first team prediction. It’s all pretty straight-forward.
