Bournemouth vs Liverpool Prediction & Betting Tips - Premier League

Prediction published on 08/03/2023, 18:00  by Steve Ashfield in Premier League Predictions

Liverpool can move up to fourth in the Premier League if winning at Bournemouth this weekend. They begin the weekend in fifth place with their struggling opponents bottom of the table. Liverpool are three points behind fourth placed Tottenham with a game in hand. This is the first match of the Premier League weekend and a win will take them above the Londoners on goal difference. Liverpool come into this game fresh from the 7-0 home win over Manchester United last Sunday. That wasn't their biggest home league win of the season though as Bournemouth won't need reminding. Liverpool beat them 9-0 at home earlier in the season and arrive down south in top scoring form. That wasn't the case at the start of the year when scoring just one goal in four Premier League games and earning a single point. Since then, the Reds have secured 13 points from five league fixtures and scored 13 goals and not conceded a goal. Away form has seen them only win three away league games this season but they have four points from their last two on the road.

Bournemouth again gave away a good lead last weekend. A last gasp goal at Arsenal saw them lose 3-2 after leading 2-0. That saw them drop to the bottom of the Premier League but only a point from safety. It's virtually two though due to their appalling -27 goal difference. The Cherries have only won one of their last ten Premier League games, a 1-0 win at Wolves last month. Three home league games have been won this season, the last being against Everton at the end of November. The last four home league fixtures have produced two draws and a couple of defeats. Liverpool's new attacking line-up may well see them get another away league win this weekend.
