Bournemouth vs Liverpool Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 11th March 2023

Struggling Bournemouth are in for a tough assignment, when going up against Liverpool on Saturday at Vitality Stadium. With a string of mediocre performances, at best, it would be astounding to see the former take anything from this encounter.

Sitting bottom of the table, Bournemouth have claimed 21 points after 25 rounds, while Liverpool have amassed 42 points. This places the latter as number five in the Premier League at the moment.

With 3 defeats in the last 6 matches, the mood around the Bournemouth camp could probably be a lot better. They need to up their game or prepare for more disappointment, when facing Liverpool on their home ground.

Bournemouth have a hard time getting on the scoreboard these days, as they managed a poorly six goals in their previous ten matches. That is an average of 0.6 goals per game, in which they conceded 19 goals, or 1.9 goals per game. Furthermore, they fought their way to one clean sheet in this run.

Liverpool scored an average of 1.6 goals a game in the past ten matches. They scored 16 goals, let in ten for an average of one a game, and managed six clean sheets.

Bournemouth vs Liverpool Prediction

Bournemouth Form

Bournemouth have been a bit bleak in their last three matches, although it opened with a 0-1 victory against Wolverhampton. Unable to follow that up, they went down 1-4 against Manchester City, before handing over all three points in a 3-2 defeat against Arsenal. Bournemouth just have a single home win to show from their efforts in the past six Premier League matches at the Vitality Stadium. They also drew two and lost three of these six encounters, in which they scored eight and conceded 11 goals.

Liverpool Form

In their last three matches, Liverpool drew 0-0 with Crystal Palace, beat Wolverhampton by 2-0 and beat Manchester United by 7-0. Liverpool claimed two wins against one draw and three defeats in their last six away matches in the Premier League. The scoreline from these matches reads ten goals conceded and six scored.

Value hunters might think Bournemouth is worth a shot, but in our view Liverpool are rightly favoured for the win. They contain enough quality to come home with a win from Vitality Stadium.

Liverpool won five of their previous five encounters with opponents from the bottom six of the Premier League. They scored 18 and conceded four goals and collected 16 points. Bournemouth are looking at a record of five wins, six draws and 14 defeats in the Premier League this season. Liverpool have 12 wins, six draws and seven defeats in the Premier League.
