Liverpool vs Bologna prediction and odds ahead of Champions League clash

Bookmark

Liverpool are riding high after a gritty 2-1 triumph over Wolves, with Ibrahima Konate and Mohamed Salah finding the net to secure a crucial win. However, the Reds face some injury woes that might shake up Jürgen Klopp's lineup.

Andy Robertson and Darwin Nunez are significant concerns for Liverpool. Robertson, Scotland's captain, was subbed off late in the match against Wolves, leaving his participation in doubt. Nunez missed that game due to illness but might make his return against Bologna.

If Robertson is sidelined, Kostas Tsimikas is likely to step in at left-back. The midfield will be anchored by Dominik Szoboszlai, Alexis Mac Allister, and Ryan Gravenberch, who will be pivotal in dictating the tempo and creating opportunities. Up front, Salah, Diogo Jota, and Luis Diaz are expected to lead the attack, with Nunez potentially making an appearance from the bench if fit.

Bologna, on the other hand, will be aiming to make a mark against one of Europe's elite teams. They've shown tenacity in their domestic league and will look to bring that form into their European fixtures. However, facing Liverpool at Anfield is no small feat; they'll need to be at their absolute best to stand a chance.
