Premier League Quick Preview: Bournemouth Vs Liverpool
Sunday afternoon on the south coast pits the division’s draw specialists against each other at the Vitality Stadium.
Bournemouth are 15th with three points, all of them from draws, and along with bottom club Coventry are still waiting for both a first win and a first clean sheet.
Liverpool are eighth and unbeaten, but three draws from four - including a goalless afternoon at home to Fulham last time out - means they are already six points off the top. Despite being the visitors, Liverpool are favourites on betting apps.
Goals For Both Teams
Bournemouth have scored and conceded in every one of their four league games, and have now netted in 12 consecutive Premier League matches.
Both teams have found the net in each of Bournemouth’s last six league games, and their four fixtures this season have averaged 3.25 goals.
Liverpool are the harder read: they have kept two clean sheets in four, but conceded two in each of their opening two games at Newcastle and at home to Forest.
Four of the last five meetings between the pair produced over 2.5 goals, and Bournemouth scored in three of them.

Bournemouth’s 3-2 win in January was their first home league victory over Liverpool since March 2023, and only their second in the last eight meetings across all competitions.
Four of the last five games between them have gone over 2.5 goals, so the recent evidence suggests the Vitality crowd will get something to shout about.
