AFC BournemouthNo absentees
LiverpoolNo absentees
Bournemouth and Liverpool have both drawn plenty in the early weeks, and they meet at the Vitality on Sunday, kicking off at 2pm, with contrasting fortunes. Liverpool are unbeaten but have drawn three of four in the Premier League, while a winless Bournemouth have shared the spoils repeatedly, so something has to give on the south coast.
Anthony Eadson’s Bournemouth vs Liverpool predictions, best bets and score prediction are below.
Premium Tips
Anthony Eadson expects an open game, and likes Szoboszlai and Van Dijk in the shooting markets.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Dominik Szoboszlai 1+ shot on target | 10/11 (William Hill) | I think Liverpool will suit playing away from home at the moment and I expect a similar showing to the one at Ipswich, where the hosts came out and Liverpool exploited the spaces. Dominik Szoboszlai has recorded a shot on target in seven of his last eight Premier League outings when looking back to last season. At just under even money he makes appeal in what could be an open game. |
| Szoboszlai to assist & Van Dijk to score | 25/1 (William Hill) | Only Brighton have conceded more from set-pieces this season than Bournemouth, which could spell trouble with Virgil in the vicinity. The Dutchman has scored six goals in his last 20 away league matches, an impressive record for a centre-back. One of those was in this fixture last season, with Szoboszlai providing the assist from a corner. Van Dijk has recorded a shot on target in eight of his last ten away matches, but at 25/1 I am willing to go for the home run with a goal hopefully provided by Szoboszlai, who takes a mean set-piece. |

How AFC Bournemouth go into the game
Bournemouth are still without a win, drawing three of four including 2-2 with Brentford last time out. Marcus Tavernier has been the bright spark with three goals.
Competitive but unable to close games out, Bournemouth carry a threat but need a first win.
How Liverpool go into the game
Liverpool are unbeaten but have drawn three of four, most recently a 0-0 at Fulham. Alexander Isak has hit the ground running with three goals.
Full of quality but frustrated by draws, Liverpool will back themselves to finally turn on the style.
