Bournemouth vs Liverpool Betting Tips and Odds

Bet365 have the following odds available for this match:

Bournemouth are at 6/1 to win, a draw is at 15/4, and a Liverpool win is at ½.

Bournemouth come into this match in 14th place after their narrow loss to United on Wednesday night. They have picked up no wins in the last five and are on just 16 points, making them only two points clear of the drop zone currently. But they are one of ten sides within reasonable reach of it, so they have plenty of other sides that could do worse than them to give them hope. As for Liverpool, they are in fifth now on 31 points after the consecutive draws. They could be level with Chelsea, but instead they are four points behind. Thye trail Spurs on goal difference and are only ahead of Burnley because of it.

Bournemouth are one of the league's worst sides at home. If only home form determined relegation, they would be in the bottom three. They have two wins and two draws for a total of eight points there, causing them to fall down the pecking order. They aren't giving up, or scoring many goals there with nine of each so far.  As for Liverpool, they are the league's fourth best away side after a run of three straight wins. They now have 14 points through four wins, two draws, and two losses. They have scored 20 goals but have also given away 17, though ten of those were against Spurs and Manchester City combined.

Both teams to score is set at 7/10 via Ladbrokes.

Bournemouth vs Liverpool Prediction

Liverpool could once again be due for another outburst in front of goal against the Cherries. They have scored twice or more in three straight matches, so that would be no shock to see once more at the Vitality.

Correct Score Prediction: Bournemouth 1-3 Liverpool

Team News

Eddie Howe will be missing goalkeeper Adam Federici, center back Tyrone Mings, and left back Brad Smith due to injuries.

Key Man

One thing that can make a player's day or even year is to score against their former club or to make a large impact. That is exactly what Jordon Ibe can do against Liverpool. The winger has tons of potential, but he has still yet to hit his stride- even at Bournemouth. But he can change games on his day and has three assists to show just that so far.

Team Form

The Cherries have two losses and three draws in their last five matches:

1-0 loss at Manchester United
2-2 draw at Crystal Palace
1-1 home draw vs Southampton
1-2 home loss vs Burnley
0-0 draw at Swansea

Bournemouth Predicted Starting Line-up

Expected Line-up: 4-4-1-1

Team News

Jurgen Klopp will be missing goalkeepers Adam Bogdan and Danny Ward, left back Alberto Moreno, and right back Nathaniel Clyne due to injury.  Center back Joel Matip also looks like he will remain out.

Key Man

Liverpool will need a spark in this match if they want to start scoring goals again, and that spark can be- as it so often has been this season- Mo Salah. The Egyptian gave them a great goal against Everton that should have sent them on their way, but they were pegged back. He's one of the best players in the league at keeping shots on target, so if he can do that he should add one or two against the Cherries.

Team Form

The Reds have two draws and three wins in their last five matches:

0-0 home draw vs West Brom
1-1 home draw vs Everton
7-0 home win vs Spartak Moscow (UCL)
1-5 win at Brighton
0-3 win at Stoke

Liverpool Predicted Starting Line-up

Expected Line-up: 4-3-3

Liverpool's away form has picked up considerably of late, and that will be a big help to them in this match against Bournemouth. The Cherries have not played well at home and will be a prime candidate to have a number of goals racked up on them if Liverpool can hit the target a little better than they did on Wednesday night. The Reds will remember the loss last season, and they will not want to repeat that.

Liverpool have won three away matches in a row in the league.
