Liverpool vs Bologna Predictions & Betting Tips

Arne Slot takes charge of his first Champions League fixture at Anfield on Wednesday, 2nd October as they host Serie A side Bologna FC.

With kick-off scheduled for 8pm, our team of experts here at Betting Online have been providing their top tips and predictions for the match. Check out more below for the latest odds and team news!

Liverpool

Unbeaten since the shock blip of a loss to Nottingham Forest, Slot’s Liverpool side are showing they are up there to be title contenders this season.

In all their games so far this campaign, the Reds have scored at least two goals. This includes the first game of this year’s Champions League campaign against AC Milan, in which they won 3-1 at the San Siro despite a disastrous start to the match.

In the second instalment this week, we are expecting some of the same, even with injury and illness doubts over some key players, including Andy Robertson, who came off in the match against Wolves and Darwin Nunez, who missed the match through illness.

Following the tie, Liverpool returns back to league action at the weekend, where they will face Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.

Bologna

The Italian side faced Shakhtar Donetsk in their first game of this Champions League campaign, where, despite having 17 shots, could not get one to make it into the back of the net. 

A mixed start to the Serie A season has seen Bologna win just one of their first six games, with the others resulting in four draws and one loss.  

Manager Vincenzo Italiano hopes his side can get a result against Liverpool after showing signs of form last time out.

Match details

Liverpool vs Bologna History

The two sides have never actually met before in any competition, so this will be the first for both sides. 

However, it is the 10th different Italian opponent Liverpool will have faced in European competition. Italian sides have a strong record against the Merseyside outfit, with no other nation beating them more!

Bologna has faced three English sides before, but not since 2002 when they played Fulham. Prior to that, it was in 1966-67 against Leeds United.
