Bologna have become a familiar face for the Aston Villa faithful in recent times.
Not only did the sides play eachother in the group stage of the Europa League earlier this season, but they also met in last season's Champions League campaign.
Unai Emery's side came out on top on both occaisions, but Villa defender Matty Cash is not expecting an easy ride.
"They are a really good team," Cash told the media. "Man to man, all over the pitch. They are really strong. I know their goalkeeper, [Lukasz] Skorupski, I've spoken to him about Bologna at [Poland] training camps. I've seen their fixtures since we last played them and they haven't really lost in Europe. We know how good they are.
"Two legs, a 180 minute game – a lot can happen, especially coming away to a place like this is going to be difficult. But we are going to try and do what we can to put ourselves in a good position for next week."
