Bournemouth vs Liverpool: Prediction and Betting Odds 5.00

Current form

Taking into account the cup victory over West Bromwich (5:1), Bournemouth are currently on a 12-match unbeaten run. This is a club record that the players clearly do not want to break, although today is their toughest test of strength. In the four previous face-to-face matches, they failed to score a single point against Liverpool, and consistently conceded at least twice.

In their last two Premier League games, the Cherries played against top-4 contenders. It seemed that a misfire would follow, but instead the team demonstrated a bright attacking game and beat Newcastle away with a score of 4:1, and at home they completely routed Nottingham, who frankly went downhill in the second 45 minutes (5:0). In general, Bournemouth attack line is impressive: in 15 of the last 16 matches in the Premier League, the Cherries have invariably scored goals.

After 23 rounds, Andoni Iraola team is in seventh place in the table, having scored 40 points. They are behind Chelsea, who are in sixth place in the European Cup, only by additional indicators. In addition, the gap from the top 4 is only one point. It should be noted that Bournemouth have suffered only two defeats at home since the beginning of the season, and in home matches they are distinguished by a reliable game in defense - only seven goals conceded in 11 matches, which is the best indicator in the Premier League.

Smith, Senesi, Evanilson, Unal, Araujo, Scott, Sinisterra and Hill are out today due to injury.
