Liverpool vs Bournemouth - Predictions and Betting Tips in the English Premier League
Liverpool
Last season could not have gone any better for Liverpool, who became champions of England for the 20th time as they won the league by a wide margin. They have their leading goal scorer, Mo Salah, to thank as he ended the season as the league’s top goal scorer. Salah has scored nine times in the opening day fixture, which means Bournemouth will have to be careful of this deadly goal scorer. Liverpool’s home form last season was simply excellent. Liverpool won 14 of their 19 home matches last season, meaning 54.76% of their total points came from Anfield.
Bournemouth
Bournemouth finished in ninth position in the Premier League last season and will be hoping to improve this season. Andoni Iraola has the team playing free-flowing attacking football. Bournemouth won 28 points from away matches last season, and that was more than they won in their home matches. They will be fairly confident going into the match at Anfield as they perform better when they are in front of a hostile crowd.
Team News
