Liverpool begin their Premier League title defence at Anfield on Friday night, looking to extend their dominant head-to-head record over Bournemouth. The Cherries, meanwhile, arrive with renewed attacking confidence but a weakened defence.
Liverpool to Win & Over 2.5 Goals
The Reds have beaten Bournemouth in five consecutive meetings, with four of those victories featuring three or more goals. Liverpool’s firepower, combined with Bournemouth’s forward threat, makes this a likely high-scoring home win.

Luis Díaz Anytime Scorer
The Colombian winger has looked sharp in pre-season, cutting inside to create chances and getting into prime shooting positions. Against a makeshift Cherries backline, Díaz’s pace and directness could pay dividends.

Both Teams to Score (Value Pick)
Bournemouth scored in nine of their 12 matches against the big six last term, and Liverpool have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last six competitive games. Odds of 4/5 imply a 55% chance, but the stats suggest closer to 70%, making this a strong value bet.
