Aston Villa faces AS Roma in a pre-season friendly at the Bescot Stadium in Walsall. Villa comes into the match after a 2-2 draw with Nashville SC, having shown flashes of attacking promise but struggling to close out games. Ollie Watkins has been in fine form, scoring in three consecutive matches, while Emiliano Martinez is expected to start despite transfer speculation. Roma, under new manager Gian Piero Gasperini, has looked sharp in pre-season, winning all their warm-up games without conceding. New signing Evan Ferguson impressed with a rapid hat-trick against UniPomezia, and the squad seems well-balanced heading into the new Serie A campaign. This will be the first-ever meeting between the two clubs, adding intrigue to an already compelling fixture.
