The 2022-23 English Premier League season goes on Saturday, March 11, with Bournemouth taking on Liverpool at Vitality Stadium in Bournemouth. The stake is huge for either side, so let’s take a closer look.
Bournemouth – Liverpool Betting Tip, Prediction & Odds (11.3.2023)
Bournemouth continue to fight against relegation and would love to get something from Saturday’s clash against Liverpool. It’s going to be a tall task, as the Reds have played at a high level of late, and Liverpool also desperately need a victory.
Bournemouth vs. Liverpool: Initial Situation
Bournemouth are sitting bottom of the Premier League with 21 points (W5, D6, L14) and a 24:51 goal difference. The Cherries are only a point below the safe zone. On the other side, Liverpool are fifth with 42 points (W12, D6, L7). The Reds are three points behind fourth-placed Tottenham, but they have a game in hand on the Lilywhites.
Bournemouth Stats & Form
The Cherries have dropped two games in a row, losing to Manchester City 4-1 at home and Arsenal 3-2 on the road. Last Saturday, the Cherries suffered a heartbreaking defeat at Emirates Stadium. They blew a two-goal lead, allowing the Gunners to score the winner in the dying moments of the second half. The Cherries are winless in five consecutive outings at Vitality Stadium in all competitions, tallying three losses in that stretch.
Midfielder Philip Billing found the back of the net against Arsenal last weekend, and he’s now the Cherries’ leading scorer with five goals in 2022-23. Striker Dominic Solanke has recorded four goals and four assists so far this season, while midfielder Marcus Tavernier has three goals and four dishes on his account.
Liverpool Stats & Form
The Reds are coming off Sunday’s 7-0 dismantling of Manchester United. Liverpool humiliated their arch-rivals while keeping the net intact for the fifth straight outing in the league. Cody Gakpo, Mohamed Salah, and Darwin Nunez bagged a couple of goals apiece, and Salah also had a couple of assists. The Reds have won four of their last five Premier League matches, but they’ve only won one of their previous five road league contests while tallying three losses in the process.
Mohamed Salah leads the way for the Reds in 2022-23, racking up 22 goals and 11 assists across 37 appearances in all competitions. Darwin Nunez has scored 14 goals in 31 apps, while Roberto Firmino has accounted for ten goals and five dishes in 27 games.
Bournemouth – Liverpool: Head-to-Head
Liverpool have won seven consecutive games against Bournemouth, allowing just one goal in that stretch. In their first meeting of the season, the Reds smashed the Cherries 9-0 at Anfield.
Bournemouth – Liverpool Odds
The bookmakers are expecting Liverpool to extend their dominance over Bournemouth. The visitors are surefire 1.45 favorites at BetVictor Sportsbook, and the Over 2.5 Goals pays 1.60 at Unibet Sportsbook.
The Cherries will be fired up to get revenge for an embarrassing defeat at Anfield back in August, but I don’t think they have enough firepower to contain the Reds. Liverpool are coming off a huge win over Manchester United and will dominate Bournemouth at Vitality Stadium. Mohamed Salah has been unstoppable of late, so keep your eyes on the 30-year-old winger, who should score at least a goal in this match. Bet365 Sportsbook offers 2.15 odds on Liverpool AH -1.5, and I think that’s a way to go. Liverpool have beaten Bournemouth by two or more goals in each of their last three encounters at Vitality Stadium.
