Bournemouth vs Liverpool Preview 

Liverpool set their sights on Premier League title

Liverpool are in great form at the moment. Their sights are set on maintaining this position until the season’s conclusion. Meanwhile, Bournemouth, currently sitting comfortably in 12th place, have steadily ascended the ranks after a challenging start to the campaign. A victory against Liverpool would not only level them on points with Wolves but also put them within striking distance of the top half, just one point behind Newcastle.

A win for Liverpool, on the other hand, would not only solidify their lead at the summit but also create a five-point buffer over second-placed Manchester City, albeit having played an additional game. Aston Villa, in third, would find themselves five points adrift as well, adding extra weight to the clash.

The absence of Mo Salah, representing Egypt in the Africa Cup of Nations, leaves a significant void in Liverpool’s attack. Salah has contributed 14 of Liverpool’s 43 league goals this season. The onus now falls on the likes of Darwin Nunez, Diogo Jota, and Cody Gakpo to step into the spotlight and shoulder the goal-scoring responsibilities. Nunez and Jota, with five league goals each, will need to elevate their performance in Salah’s absence.

Liverpool’s attacking prowess has been a highlight this season, with only Manchester City surpassing their goal tally. Defensively, the Reds boast the league’s best record, conceding a mere 18 goals. As they prepare to face Bournemouth, Klopp’s side must find a way to maintain this defensive solidity.

Bournemouth on the up

Bournemouth’s resurgence owes much to the stellar form of striker Dominic Solanke, who will be relishing the opportunity to haunt his former club. Solanke, recently crowned the Premier League Player of the Month for December, has netted an impressive six goals during this period.

The history between the two teams favours Liverpool, having secured victory in 16 of their 21 encounters. The reverse fixture at Anfield saw Liverpool triumph 3-1, overcoming an early lead by Bournemouth. Luis Diaz, Mo Salah, and Diogo Jota orchestrated the comeback.

Their paths also crossed in the Carabao Cup’s fourth round this season, where Liverpool emerged victorious once more. Nunez’s 74th-minute winner sealed the deal in a closely contested match at the Vitality Stadium.

However, Bournemouth have had their moments, notably securing a memorable 4-3 comeback in December 2023 and a historic 1-0 win in March of the same year. 

As the two sides prepare to lock horns again, the stage is set for a riveting encounter. Liverpool seek to fortify their title charge, while Bournemouth aim to continue their upward trajectory. In the unpredictable football landscape, each match unfolds a new chapter, and this weekend’s clash promises to be no exception.

Latest Premier League Betting Odds

Liverpool arrive on the South Coast as the favourites to take all three points, given their brilliant recent form. They are priced at 1.70 to add another three points and keep on their title charge. The home side, Bournemouth, are 4.20 to take this one with the draw placed at 4.10. 

In terms of the goalscorers, without their talismanic Egyptian, Darwin Nunez leads the odds to bag first in this one at 5.80. Diogo Jota closely follows at 5.90 and a host of other Liverpool stars. Dominic Solanke is at 7.10 to bag first. 

Bournemouth vs Liverpool Betting Tips 

Bet Builder: Liverpool to win, both teams to score and Darwin Nunez to score anytime @ 4.00

In their form, you wouldn’t want to come across Liverpool. Although Bournemouth are playing some good stuff and are likely to grab a goal, you can’t see them causing an upset. With no Salah, they will be relying on Nunez to grab the goals.

Dominic Solanke to score anytime @ 7.10

The big man has been in incredible form. For the Bournemouth striker, he’ll be hoping to keep up his great from in front of goal and cause problems for Liverpool.

Over 3.5 goals in the game @ 2.14

Historically, there have been goals every time these sides have met. This season won’t be any different with both teams playing an attacking brand and defending being secondary.
