Liverpool vs Bologna preview

Liverpool headed for the San Siro and matchday one off the back of a disappointing 1-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest the weekend previously.

Since that defeat, Arne Slot’s side have scored 13 goals in four games, winning each one and conceding thrice along the way.

Saturday’s win at Wolves saw them jump to the top of the Premier League table, a point clear of Man City and Arsenal.

Now they’re looking to make it two wins from two to start the competition after a 3-1 win at Milan started things off.

Bologna are struggling down in 13th in Serie A after a fairytale season last time out.

But they’re unbeaten in their last five games (4 draws) and have actually only lost once this season – at Napoli.

Liverpool vs Bologna prediction and betting tips

Strong showing

Bologna might well be a tough nut to crack domestically.

But Liverpool should have far too much for the Italian side on their visit to Anfield.

They’ve scored 13 in four games and a similar average will return this at decent value.

Mo the merrier

Mo Salah’s penalty won the game at Molineux a few days ago.

That comes after a dry spell in the league, despite scoring when coming off the bench against West Ham during the week last week.
