Liverpool are set to face Bologna tomorrow in a Champions League group-stage clash at Anfield, marking the first meeting between these two clubs.

The Reds come into this match in strong form, having won seven of their first eight matches across all competitions.

Arne Slot’s men also secured an important 3-1 victory against AC Milan in their opening group match, and another win here would significantly bolster their chances of progressing to the knockout stages?.

Bologna, on the other hand, have had a much more inconsistent start to their season.

Despite holding Shakhtar Donetsk to a 0-0 draw in their first Champions League outing, they have struggled in Serie A, with only one win from seven games.

Bologna’s defense will be put to the test by Liverpool’s potent attack, which has been firing on all cylinders, with Mohamed Salah and Luis Diaz leading the charge?.

Liverpool will be without the likes of Diogo Jota, Federico Chiesa, and Harvey Elliott, but Nunez is expected to return after illness ruled him out of the outing against Wolves on Saturday.

With Liverpool in excellent form and playing at home, they are clear favorites to secure a win, possibly with a comfortable margin, as Bologna have shown vulnerabilities, particularly in defense?

Bologna squad to face Liverpool at Anfield

Bologna manager Vincenzo Italiano has made one change to his squad ahead of their Champions League clash against Liverpool, excluding the injured Tommaso Pobega?

This marks Bologna’s first away match in the competition since the 1960s.

The full squad list is as follows:

Goalkeepers: Skorupski, Bagnolini, Ravaglia.

Defenders: Posch, Beukema, Lucumi, Erlic, Casale, Holm, Lykogiannis, Miranda, Corazza.

Midfielders: Aebischer, Freuler, Moro, Fabbia, Urbanski.

Forwards: Castro, Dallinga, Orsolini, Ndoye, Iling-Junior, Odgaard.

Football Italia have outlined the likely team that will take to the field at Anfield tomorrow evening, predicting:

“Italiano is expected to go full strength for Wednesday night’s match under the lights at Anfield, with Dan Ndoye and Riccardo Orsolini the frontrunners to start on the wings, flanking either Santiago Castro or Thijs Dallinga.”

“Remo Freuler and Michel Aebischer are likely to start in midfield and could be joined by either Giovanni Fabbian or Kacper Urbanski.”

“Stefan Posch and Charalampos Lykogiannis are the preferred full-backs, while Jhon Lucumi, currently suspended in Serie A, is practically guaranteed to start at centre-half.”
