Liverpool vs Bologna Tips

Tip 1

Full-back Stefan Posch is set to face either Cody Gakpo or Luis Diaz – two wide players who are excellent at drawing fouls from their defensive adversaries.

Posch has committed 12 fouls in his six league appearances, committing 2+ on five of six occasions and picking up a yellow card in Bologna’s 3-0 defeat away at Napoli.

Tip 2

Bologna midfielder Remo Freuler was booked nine times in 32 appearances last season, picking up his first of the current campaign last time out in Saturday’s draw with Atalanta.

Liverpool’s midfield have been a real nuisance for their opposition already under Arne Slot – Ryan Gravenberch drawing 12 fouls, Alexis Mac Allister 12 and Dominik Szoboszlai six.

With Freuler booked in one of his two PL meetings for Forest against the Reds, 4/1 for a serial offender to be entered into the referee’s book at Anfield is too good to pass up.

Liverpool Form, Team News & Predicted Line-Up

Arne Slot navigated another tricky fixture, running out as 2-1 winners at Molineux – a victory which has Liverpool sitting pretty at the top of the Premier League table.

Andy Robertson is touch and go for this midweek clash after limping off against Wolves, while Harvey Elliott is the only confirmed absentee for the Reds.

Liverpool Predicted XI: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Van Dijk, Konate, Tsimikas; Gravenberch, Mac Allister; Salah, Szoboszlai, Gakpo; Nunez.

Bologna Form, Team News & Predicted Line-Up

Bologna extended their unbeaten run to five games with Saturday’s draw against Atalanta; a streak which includes their Champions League stalemate with Shakhtar Donetsk.

Santiago Castro, Lewis Ferguson, Tommaso Pobega and Oussama El Azzouzi are all expected to be sidelined for the trip to Anfield.

Bologna Predicted XI: Skorupski; Posch, Beukema, Lucumi, Lykogiannis; Aebischer, Moro, Freuler; Orsolini, Dallinga, Ndoye.
