Liverpool vs Bournemouth Prediction

Liverpool Form

In their previous three matches, Liverpool first drew 1-1 against Aston Villa, then 4-4 against Southampton before also sharing the points in a 1-1 draw against Chelsea. In their last six Premier League home matches, Liverpool have four wins, while they've drawn two and lost none. They scored 12 and conceded eight goals.

A fourth place finish is the absolute minimum Liverpool should achieve this coming season where the main target is, of course, the title.

Bournemouth Form

In their previous three games, Bournemouth lost 0-1 and 1-0 against Manchester United and Everton, respectively, before drawing 1-1 with West Ham. Bournemouth won three of a possible six away matches in the Premier League, as well as playing zero draws and suffering three defeats. They scored five while also conceding eight times.
