Our Expert Predictions & Analysis on Liverpool vs Bologna

Liverpool

Arne Sloth's team secured an important away win over Milan in the first round of the Champions League main round and started their performances in the new competition with three points. Liverpool have a very difficult and busy schedule at this stage of the season, as the team continues to play in several tournaments at the same time, and this circumstance forces the coaching staff to rotate the squad. The Champions League is a priority competition for the Reds, in which they will try to gain maximum points.

Bologna

But Bologna failed to win in the first round of the Champions League, playing a draw with Shakhtar Donetsk (0:0) on their home field. For the Italian team, participation in the most prestigious European Cup tournament is a new experience, so Bologna can safely be called one of the dark horses of the current competition. The guests will probably have to play second fiddle in the upcoming match, relying on a disciplined and reliable game in defense.
