Bologna’s Poor Form
Bologna have been struggling to find their rhythm, managing only one win in their last nine games. Their form this season has been underwhelming, with just one victory in six Serie A matches. Adding to their woes, they were held to a 0-0 draw by Shakhtar Donetsk in their opening Champions League fixture, indicating they may struggle to handle the firepower of a high-flying Liverpool side.
Tip: Back Liverpool to win comfortably. A Liverpool win with a clean sheet is a strong option, given Bologna’s lack of attacking threat.
Liverpool Dominant at Home
Liverpool have started the season in excellent form, winning eight of their nine matches across all competitions. They’ve been particularly impressive in the Champions League, with eight of their last nine European games seeing at least three goals. Coming off a 3-1 win against AC Milan at the San Siro, they should find little difficulty dispatching Bologna.
Tip: Bet on Liverpool to win with over 2.5 goals. With their strong attacking play and Bologna’s defensive frailties, another high-scoring game is likely. 10/11
High-Scoring European Encounters
Liverpool’s recent European fixtures have been goal-heavy, with the only exception being a narrow 1-0 win over Atalanta after a surprise home defeat to the same team last season. Bologna are unlikely to replicate their success from last season and seem ill-equipped to cope with Liverpool’s relentless attack.
Tip: A correct score bet on Liverpool to win 3-0 is a solid choice, as Bologna’s chances of scoring seem slim and Liverpool tend to produce goals in European fixtures.
Diaz in Fine Form
Luis Diaz has been one of Liverpool’s standout performers this season, scoring five goals in the Premier League. After being rested for much of the match against AC Milan, Diaz will be eager to shine in this Champions League clash. Fresh and ready, he poses a serious goal threat for Bologna.
Tip: Back Luis Diaz to score anytime. His form has been outstanding, and he’ll be keen to add to his goal tally in this match. 6/4
