Aston Villa entered the 2025/2026 campaign with a noticeably unstable rhythm, struggling to impose their identity during the opening weeks despite the continuity under Unai Emery.

As the season unfolded, the team experienced a clear tactical reawakening, evolving into one of the Premier League’s most balanced and tactically adaptable sides.

Their climb to third place, only three points behind Arsenal and a single point behind Manchester City, reflects more than improved results; it showcases a side that has rebuilt its structure and refined its mechanisms on and off the ball.

In this Aston Villa data analysis, we break down Aston Villa’s tactical solutions in detail, focusing on their evolving build-up patterns, long-range threat, and their broader capacity for in-game tactical adaptation.

We assess how these elements shaped their resurgence, supported by data, match sequences, and performance trends from the opening 15 fixtures of the 2025/2026 Premier League campaign.

Celtic hosted AS Roma for the UEFA Europa League sixth fixture at Celtic Park, and the match ended with a convincing 0-3 away win for Roma.

Celtic’s change of manager and of their playing system made things a bit complicated for the team, especially because they played against a very organised team with experience in using the 3-4-2-1 system efficiently.

Celtic will need to bounce back as soon as possible after their inconsistent UEFA Europa League results so far to guarantee a qualifying spot.

On the other hand, Roma made a powerful reaction following their latest loss in the league, confirming that they will not be going through a crisis and that the latest loss was just a temporary drop of form.

Winning an away game at a difficult stadium like that of Celtic while scoring three goals can only confirm that Gian Piero Gasperini’s side is gaining a lot in terms of personality, confidence, and ability to win complicated games.

This tactical analysis article explores Roma’s high-pressing plan and how it helped limit Celtic’s threats and turn their playmaking attempts into dangerous counterattacking actions.

The analysis will also assess Roma’s attacking trio and how they were decisive in this match.
