20:00 Wednesday

Liverpool dispatched their Italian opponents in the opening round of fixtures in the Champions League and move onto Bologna at home tonight.

Liverpool vs Bologna Prediction

Liverpool made it four successive victories with Saturday's win at Wolves, to return to the top of the Premier League table.

The Reds kicked off their European campaign with a 3-1 win over AC Milan, and will be backed to make it two from two here.

Bologna's first ever Champions League campaign started with a goalless draw at home to Shakhtar Donetsk two weeks ago.

The Italian side have now drawn four of their last five matches in all competitions, but that result would seem unlikely here.

Score Prediction: Liverpool 3-1 Bologna

Liverpool vs Bologna Bet Builder Tips

Our bet builder tips for Liverpool vs Bologna features Stefan Posch to be carded, Gakpo over 1.5 shots on target and Darwin Nunez to score.

Stefan Posch is averaging 2.3 fouls per 90 in the Serie A and 3 per 90 in the Champions League. He was booked in his last Champions League game when given a tough time by Shaktar winger Eguinaldo and faces either Gakpo or Diaz in this fixture.

Gakpo has been one of Liverpool most direct players this season when he has played. He picked up four shots on target in his last appearance against West Ham in the Carabao cup and two against AC Milan in the Champions League.

Darwin Nunez's game time has been limited this season and the Uruguayan forward will be keen to show Arne Slot what he has been missing out on in the league. He scored in his only league start this season in Liverpool's most recent game against Bournemouth.
