Liverpool vs Bournemouth prediction
England’s top flight season kicked off last weekend with loads of goals and excitement. This weekend, the action continues as Liverpool take on Bournemouth in their first home game of the season. Following a 1-1 draw in their opening fixture against Chelsea, the Reds are looking for their first win of the season in front of an energetic Anfield crowd. Here, Klopp’s tactical acumen will be put to test again as he looks to find a solution to the midfield vacuum left by the exit of Henderson, Milner, Fabinho and Nabi Keita. Despite this seemingly obvious situation in the middle of the pack, Liverpool will still fancy their chances given their better h2h record against Bournemouth.
On their part, the Cherries are also in the hunt for their first 3 points of the season having been held to a 1-1 draw against West Ham in their first game of this campaign. In this tie, they will be counting on the prowess of Solanke and co to trouble the Liverpool defence and something positive. In fact, with a good strategy, Liverpool’s midfield woes could be of huge advantage for Bournemouth. However, they still have a huge mountain to climb considering Liverpool’s all round quality and better squad.
Considering past meetings between both sides and the electrifying atmosphere in front of Klopp, we expect Liverpool’s confidence to be bolstered from start to finish. Hence, for this Liverpool vs Bournemouth prediction, we are backing the Reds to lead at half time and win at full time.

Main tip: HT/FT – Liverpool/Liverpool
Our Liverpool vs Bournemouth predictions
According to the statistics and the odds of the bookmakers, we suggest the following tips:
Prediction 1: HT/FT – Liverpool/Liverpool
Liverpool have not looked their best in a long time. In fact, they could only manage a Europa League spot last season, an indication of how hard they need to work to return to being a more competitive side. However, Bournemouth are a familiar whooping boys for the Reds, winning just once in their last 8 meetings. Also, one of those games ended 9-0 in favour of Liverpool. Based on how dominant they have been against Bournemouth, we are routing for Liverpool to lead at half time and emerge victorious at the end of the tie.
