MATCH PREVIEW:
Liverpool will play a series of friendlies against Bologna on Thursday as they look to get back to winning ways. There will be 2 friendlies of 30 minutes each played tonight.
The Reds suffered a painful 4-3 loss against Hertha BSC in their last match and would look to get back on the winning note as they inch closer to the start of the season.
Mané, Minamino and Oxlade-Chamberlain scored for the Reds while Ascacibar, Serdar and a Jovetic brace won the contest for the German side.
Liverpool’s pre season has not seen the best of results with 2 draws, 1 win and a loss from 4 matches.
The Reds have another 2 pre-season matches left against Athletic Club and Osasuna before they kick start the new Premier League campaign with an away trip to Norwich.
On the other hand, Bologna come into this one on the back of a 3-0 loss to Borussia Dortmund in their previous match.

Bologna:
Skorupski, De Silvestri, Bonifazi, Soumaoro, Dijks, Schouten, Svanberg, Orsolini, Vignato, Sansone and Santander
Prediction: Liverpool 2-0 Bologna
Liverpool is expected to put out a strong line-up due to which we see them win this one comfortably.
Their line-up has more attacking flair and experience than their opponents, Bologna.
With it being a two-match friendly, Klopp may substitute his main players for the second one.
