Liverpool v Bologna

Liverpool vs Bologna Preview

Liverpool made it four wins on the trot in all competitions over the weekend in the Premier League when they recorded a 2-1 win on the road at Wolves and The Reds now return to Anfield for this upcoming matchday 2 clash against Italian outfit Bologna, while the visitors picked up a point in Serie A by virtue of holding Atalanta to a 1-1 draw at home.

A 3-1 win away from home against another Italian club, AC Milan, in their opening fixture of this new Champions League season along with three league wins on the trot which have come in the shape of victories over the likes of Bournemouth 3-0, West Ham 5-1 and Wolves 2-1 respectively will boost Liverpool's belief and confidence in picking up a second win on the trot here on Wednesday night.

Indeed, Liverpool have been handed just the single loss in their previous 17 games in all competitions which came in the shape of a shock 1-0 defeat at home to Nottingham Forest but otherwise, Arne Slot's side have picked up no fewer than 13 wins within this 17-game sequence.

In addition, nine of these 13 wins also saw Liverpool win along with a total of three goals or more being scored as well.

Bologna gained a point in a 1-1 draw at home with Atalanta in the Italian top flight on the weekend which in turn extended the visitors' unbeaten run to five games overall, and indeed the bigger picture shows Vincenzo Italiano's side have suffered just the single loss in their previous 11 games in all competitions.

That loss came by way of a heavy 3-0 defeat away from home at Napoli but Bologna have also picked up four wins and been involved in no fewer than six stalemates as well within this period.

10 of these last 11 games also produced two goals or more as well, and although Bologna have managed to capture just four wins, the visitors may well contribute to the goal tally here on Wednesday night.

Results away from home have also been encouraging from Bologna's point of view as the visitors have lost just twice in their previous 13 outings on the road while collecting seven wins, so they certainly stand a chance of perhaps producing a result in merseyside.

Liverpool v Bologna Verdict

Liverpool bring an impressive sequence of results into this matchday 2 clash and even though there has been a change at the top with Jurgen Klopp being replaced by Arne Slot, The Reds have continued their momentum with seemingly little or no disruption at all.

Therefore, a home win plus two goals or more looks to be on the cards here against a Bologna outfit who could only manage a 0-0 draw at home with Shakhtar Donetsk in their opening Champions League tie.

Therefore, our main bet will be Liverpool win & Over 2 goals @ 1.57
