Champions League, Wednesday, 02.10.2024 at 21:00
My Liverpool Bologna betting tip should be one of the safer football bets on this Champions League Wednesday.
Because there is truly not much that I am willing to bet on the “Rossoblu” visiting Anfield Road.
LFC should be superior to their Italian guests in every respect and send them home in just as sovereign a manner as Milan did just under two weeks ago.
However, I feel confirmed by the AI from ChatGPT. That’s because I asked the interactive chat program for a very unique Liverpool Bologna AI prediction, which I really liked…
A few finger movements on your phone are all it takes to get the Betano app and the Liverpool Bologna odds on it to appear on your display.
Meanwhile, you don’t need to fear any surprises when you call up the app, because the English are clearly favored, the bookmakers and I agree on that.
However, with LFC’s odds of just 1.18, additional conditions are imperative in order to get an acceptable payout as part of a profitable football bet.
KI prediction Liverpool vs Bologna: That’s what ChatGPT tips
ChatGPT is obviously not afraid to call a spade a spade. Because I also sense a walkover here, which is why I agree with the Liverpool Bologna AI prediction of the artificial intelligence.
Of course, LFC winning with HC -3 is a safe bet, but once the “Reds” get into the game, you could get the 4.25 odds currently being traded faster than you would like.
The Liverpool Bologna AI tip for a medium-risk football bet reads quite nicely at first glance, but it represents a suboptimal betting decision.
Two goals before half-time are quite conceivable, but I strongly assume that both will be scored by the English team. And in this case, I would directly prefer the bet “LFC scores over 1.5 goals”, as the payout would also be significantly higher.
Half-time/final score 1/1 is, of course, another promising tip from the AI at odds of around 1.62 in this context, which I would also classify as a “sure thing”.
Analysis: Liverpool vs Bologna
If a comparison of the respective performances in the domestic league were to be used as the sole basis for a Liverpool Bologna tip, then the game would almost have to result in a landslide victory for the English team.
While Bologna are still unable to break into the top half of the table, Liverpool are increasingly being talked about as contenders for the 2024/25 Premier League title.
A brief recap: Fifth place in Serie A last season secured Bologna’s qualification for their first European Cup appearance in over 60 years.
They began their UCL campaign with a goalless draw at home to Shakhtar Donetsk, which perhaps came as little surprise given that they have agreed on a point split a number of times already this term.
That was one of five draws they were involved in during the 2024/25 season under the management of Vincenzo Italiano, who joined them from Fiorentina in the summer (1 win, 1 draw).
Odds Analysis
It is no secret that the bookmakers expect a very one-sided game and even consider an Italian goal of honor or a goal to get back into the game to be rather unlikely.
Some of the offers are too low for me, but the offer LFC win to nil is still at a very acceptable odds of 1.90.
Furthermore, this football bet also covers the range of possible final results that I consider most likely, and thus includes the results 2:0, 3:0 and 4:0.
Liverpool vs. Bologna odds: a scoreless exit?
The Italians will have their work cut out on Tuesday! Liverpool are simply unbeatable at home – and Bologna will soon realize that too.
The Reds have won their last ten group-stage home games in European competitions, scoring at least two goals in each of the last nine.
However, their last home defeat to date was against an Italian team, of all things: 0-2 to Atalanta in November 2020. Coincidence?
The Reds are more dangerous in front of goal!
Bologna look like they are putting in a lot of effort but getting little in return – they are launching numerous attacks but rarely look dangerous. It’s a completely different story for Liverpool, where every shot is a potential goal.
Although Bologna fired 17 shots in their first Champions League game, the game against Shakhtar ended 0-0.
Liverpool, on the other hand, managed just 11 shots on target in their 3-1 win over Milan under their new coach Arne Slot!
The only other time a Premier League team under a new coach had managed to score so many was when Pep Guardiola’s Man City did it in 2016.
Mohamed Salah will be the focus of many sports betting fans on Wednesday. The in-form Egyptian could become the first Liverpool player ever to score in five consecutive home games in the European Cup or the Champions League.
Last season, he scored in all four of his appearances at Anfield in this competition (four goals in the 2022/23 season). So a goal bet could be worthwhile!
I would still like to give Bologna a little encouragement despite the bleak prospects, even if it is more of a neat statistical trick!
Note: No team from any other nation has beaten Liverpool more often at Anfield in European competition than Italian clubs (7 times, tied with Spanish teams).
In fact, the Reds have lost three of their last five home games to Italian teams (2 wins).
My Liverpool Bologna Tip:
Bologna already disappointed on matchday 1, when they failed to create a single significant scoring opportunity against the Ukrainians, who focused exclusively on defense.
Now, pretty much everything speaks against Bologna, starting with the venue. And yet, all of a sudden, we are expecting an unexpected performance against Liverpool?
I think that’s rather unrealistic. Especially since not everything has been going smoothly for them in the league either and the opponent seems simply too strong for the “Rossoblu”.
My tip: Liverpool win against Bologna without conceding a goal!
