Liverpool have won 4 games in a row.
Liverpool have seen over 3.5 goals in 2 consecutive matches.
Bologna have seen over 2.5 goals in their last 3 away matches.

Head to Head

This will be the first-ever meeting between Liverpool and Bologna.

Liverpool Form

Arne Slot’s Liverpool have won seven of their opening eight matches and scored 20 goals.

A 3-1 opening Champions League win at AC Milan kickstarted a current four-match winning streak. The Reds followed this result with a 3-0 win over Bournemouth and a 5-1 home triumph against West Ham.

Slot’s side continued their winning run on Saturday by beating Wolves 2-1 away. Liverpool had 2.12 XG and Ibrahima Konate and Mo Salah were on target to secure all three points.

Liverpool Injuries & Team News

Forward Darwin Nunez is set to return after missing the Wolves match through illness.

Defender Andy Roberston came off injured on Saturday and is an injury doubt.

Midfielder Harvey Elliott is unavailable with a foot injury.

Bologna Form

Bologna have struggled for early season form with just one win from seven in all competitions.

The Italian outfit drew three matches in a row, ending with a Champions League debut 0-0 stalemate against Shakhtar Donetsk. Vincenzo Italiano’s team responded with a 2-1 win at Serie A’s bottom side Monza.

The Red and Blue failed to add to their only win of the season and drew 1-1 at Atalanta. Bologna led through Santiago Castro but were outplayed with 0.18-2.48 XG and conceded on 89 minutes.

Bologna Injuries & Team News

Midfield trio Tommaso Pobega and Oussama El Azzouzi are injured and won’t feature.

Striker Lewis Ferguson is also ruled out due to injury.

Forward Castro is Bologna’s top scorer with three goals in five starts. He is likely to lead the line at Anfield.

Verdict

Liverpool v Bologna

Liverpool are becoming ruthless in attack and play on the front foot at home. Bologna have made a slow start and the Reds can capitalise with a big UCL home victory.
