Liverpool vs Bologna Previews
Liverpool Preview
Liverpool head into this fixture riding high on confidence after their impressive 3-1 comeback win over AC Milan in the first matchday of the Champions League group stage. With goals from Ibrahima Konate, Virgil van Dijk, and Dominik Szoboszlai, the Reds showcased their ability to dominate once they find their rhythm.
Their current form, both in the Premier League and in Europe, has them well-positioned to continue their fine run at Anfield, where they are undefeated in their last 10 European group stage matches.

Bologna, on the other hand, will be facing a far tougher challenge after a goalless draw against Shakhtar Donetsk in their opening match. Vincenzo Italiano’s side has been struggling to replicate their success from last season, with only one win in their last seven games across all competitions.
Bologna’s resilience will be tested against a formidable Liverpool attack, and their hopes of securing a point at Anfield will depend on solid defensive performances and the ability to withstand Liverpool’s pressure.
