Liverpool, six-time UEFA Champions League (UCL) winners, started their current campaign with a 3-1 victory away at AC Milan. Now they face another Serie A opponent, Bologna, as they return to Anfield. The Reds have a remarkable home record, winning their last ten group-stage games in European competitions, scoring 2+ goals in nine of those.

Bologna finally registered their first win of the season with a 2-1 victory over struggling Monza in their last Serie A match. Despite earning just six points from their opening five games (W1, D3, L1), it mirrors their start to the 2023/24 season when they eventually secured Champions League qualification.

Monza remains winless in Serie A this season (D3, L1) but gained a significant morale boost by drawing 1-1 with Inter Milan at Stadio Brianteo. Despite taking the lead in the 81st minute, Monza’s failure to hold onto the win extended their winless streak to 13 league matches (D6, L7)—the longest current streak in Serie A.

Bologna’s 60-year wait for UEFA Champions League football finally ends after a fifth-place finish in Serie A last season, earning them a spot in Europe’s elite competition for the first time since their Italian title win in 1964. However, the summer departures of key figures, including manager Thiago Motta, have had an impact.
