Aston Villa are in the midst of their arrangements for the 2025/26 season, embarking on a pre-season journey to Germany to take on Hansa Rostock. This match marks Villa’s second friendly within a week, coming after a close loss to Walsall. Hansa Rostock, fresh from their recent campaign in Germany’s 3. Liga, aims to leverage their home advantage as they face off against Premier League competition. The Hansa Rostock vs Aston Villa match will kick off at 15:00 UK Time.
Villa, managed by Enzo Maresca, will want to improve their attacking performance following a lacklustre showing in their last outing. As is typical in mid-summer friendly, the home team will probably start their first-choice lineup but bring on trialists and youngsters in the second half.
Both Ross Barkley and Lamare Bogarde, who made a strong impression in the last game, should start. Players like Diego Carlos, John McGinn, and Ollie Watkins may get some playing time as they prepare for matches. Even though it’s a friendly match, the atmosphere is sure to be boisterous because to the large number of travelling Villa supporters and the traditional European setting in Rostock.
