Aston Villa could have had an even better end to their pre-season in the USA after taking a two-goal lead against Tennessee, but they missed the opportunity to secure victory by conceding two goals to their opponents. So far, Unai Emery's side have drawn two games, lost two and won one.
It's important to note that Unai Emery started his pre-season with only young players in his squad, despite speculation surrounding the future of Morgan Rogers and goalkeeper Emiliano Martínez. With next season approaching, Aston Villa are using their first-choice players.
Aston Villa predicted lineups vs Roma: Martinez; Cash, Konsa, Mings, Maatsen; Kamara, Tielemans; Malen, McGinn, Rogers; Watkins
Aston Villa team news
Betting on the presence of coach Gian Piero Gasperini (responsible for revolutionizing Atalanta's soccer), Roma arrive for the pre-season match thinking of achieving absolute prominence in Italy, rivaling Napoli, Inter Milan, Juventus and Milan in particular.
The new coach has arrived to try to avoid the negative impact caused last season by early job changes, following failures with Daniele De Rossi and Ivan Juric before the halfway point of the season. Claudio Ranieri did a fantastic job and led Roma back to success, but the veteran coach had already made it clear that he would not be staying on in 2025/26.
Roma predicted lineup vs Aston Villa: Svilar; Celik, Mancini, Ndicka; Wesley, Kone, El Aynaoui, Angelino; Soule, Baldanzi; Ferguson
