Liverpool have lost only once in the first six rounds of the Premier League. Under Arne Slot, the team has adopted a more attack-focused approach, with an emphasis on intense pressing. Even when the Reds are trailing, they do not deviate from the original game plan and methodically squeeze their opponents.
Liverpool holds a significant advantage over Bologna in terms of individual talent and squad depth. The Reds also have the advantage of having experience in the Champions League.
Mohamed Salah is probably spending his last season at Liverpool. However, he is still the best player on the team. In the first six rounds of the Premier League, the 32-year-old Egyptian has racked up four goals and four assists .
After enjoying a successful season, it was expected that Bologna would see significant changes in their squad, and indeed, they saw the departure of key players Joshua Zirkzee and Riccardo Calafiori to the Premier League. Additionally, Thiago Motta left to manage Juventus, marking a substantial shift in their team dynamics.
Nevertheless, Bologna have not lost in five matches in all tournaments. This includes a draw against Shakhtar in the first round, in which goalkeeper Łukasz Skorupski played a crucial role by saving a penalty early in the match.
Heading into a challenging fixture against Liverpool at Anfield, Bologna’s primary advantage lies in the low expectations placed upon them. Even a draw at Anfield would be considered a remarkable achievement. However, it will be very difficult to achieve this as the visitors will mostly sit back in the defence and try to thwart Liverpool’s attacks.
Bet hereBologna have not lost this autumn yet, but it’s important to note that Vincenzo Italiano’s squad has primarily faced teams that are not on the same level as Liverpool. The trip to Anfield will be a big challenge for the visitors, and it’s unlikely that Bologna will be able to secure points in such a challenging environment.
Liverpool, on the other hand, comes off a strong performance in the Champions League, where they secured a convincing victory against Milan. Despite trailing after a quick opening goal from Christian Pulišić, the Reds quickly bounced back and scored three unanswered goals to clinch the win.
If we ignore the defeat against Nottingham Forest, Arne Slot’s team won the rest of the home matches with an aggregate score of 10:1. We think that the hosts will seize the initiative from the first minute and win convincingly. Our pick is Liverpool to win with a handicap (-1.5).
Bologna have scored twice in their last two away games against Monza and Como. However, these results are hardly worth considering before the game against Liverpool at Anfield.
When facing a top-tier team like Napoli, Bologna appeared lackluster, struggling to create significant opportunities and failing to score. This suggests that the Rossoblù’s ability to perform against stronger defenses is quite limited.
Liverpool, in turn, have kept a clean sheet in 67% of their home matches in the Premier League. Virgil Van Dijk and Ibrahima Konate combine well with each other and they neutralize the majority of attacks.
Given these factors, we think that the guests will be unable to create any dangers for Liverpool. Our choice in this encounter will be – Bologna individual total under 0.5 goals.
