Liverpool vs Bournemouth Prediction 21 Sep 2024

⚽ Premier League - Round 5 Preview

⏰ 15:00 GMT +1

🏟 Anfield (Liverpool)

Liverpool's perfect start to the season under Arne Slot came to an unexpected halt with a 1-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest in their last Premier League outing. The Reds quickly rebounded, showing their resilience in the UEFA Champions League by overturning an early deficit to beat AC Milan 3-1. Returning to Anfield, Liverpool will be determined to avoid consecutive Premier League defeats for the first time since the difficult spell they endured in early 2021. Fortunately for them, Bournemouth has been a favorable opponent, with Liverpool winning ten of their last eleven encounters, outscoring them 37-3 in those victories.

Bournemouth, on the other hand, travel to Anfield in poor form, having won just one of their last eight matches (D2, L5). Their recent 1-0 defeat to Chelsea also saw a Premier League record with 14 yellow cards being shown in the match. The Cherries will draw some inspiration from their comeback victory over Everton earlier this season, but visiting Liverpool presents a much tougher challenge. Bournemouth have struggled away against top-four opposition, losing 25 of their last 29 league trips to teams in the top four at the time.

💡 Liverpool vs Bournemouth Prediction

Liverpool will look to bounce back from their recent Premier League defeat, and given their dominant history against Bournemouth, they’re likely to secure a comfortable victory. Expect Bournemouth to defend deep and attempt a late push, but Liverpool's firepower should be too much.
