Liverpool vs Bournemouth. Prediction (odds 2.55) and bets on the Premier League match

Current form

Liverpool had gone three rounds without defeat, had three clean sheets and there was no sign of trouble ahead of the home game against Nottingham Forest. However, there was a misfire – a minimal 0:1 defeat. Of course, one can complain about bad luck, as the Merseysiders had 70% of the ball possession and had five shots on target. However, the loss of three points meant that Manchester City had a small lead in the table.

Arne Sloth's men made amends for their Premier League failure this week. In the opening round of the Champions League, they beat Milan 3-1 away, despite conceding first. It's worth noting that defenders scored two goals in that encounter, with the entire back four scoring.

One of the goals in Milan was scored by Virgil van Dijk , who remains the team's mainstay. The experienced footballer clearly copes with his direct responsibilities and skillfully directs the actions of the entire team.

Disqualifications and injuries

Only Elliott will not play today.

Interesting trends for betting

• Liverpool players have committed more fouls than their opponents in 10 of their last 12 matches
• In Liverpool's previous five league games, at least one team has failed to score
• In the last five matches involving the Merseysiders, no more than three goals have been scored

Probable line-up : Alisson - Alexander-Arnold, Konate, van Dijk, Robertson - Gravenberch, McAllister - Salah, Szoboszlai, Diaz - Jota.

Current form

Bournemouth are having a hard time entering the new season and are not showing the same bright play as before. The team has five points after four rounds and an interim 11th place. In addition, in the League Cup in the 1/32 finals they failed to get past West Ham (0:1).

In the three opening rounds, Bournemouth went unbeaten – draws with the same score of 1:1 with Nottingham Forest and Newcastle, a 3:2 victory away from home against Everton. In the fourth round, there was a 0:1 defeat at home to Chelsea, although the Cherries were in no way inferior in terms of play, plus they “marked” themselves with a missed penalty.

Interestingly, Evanilson did not score a penalty against the Londoners. This player was taken in the off-season precisely to strengthen the team in attack, but so far the footballer has not distinguished himself with a single effective action.

Andoni Iraola , however, has faith in his team: "As long as we continue to create chances and have good players up front, I'm happy. I'm not going to tell Tavernier to shoot two centimetres short of the crossbar, I know they're all trying."

Disqualifications and injuries

Adams and Outtara will not play today due to injuries.

Interesting trends for betting

• Bournemouth have lost shots on target in six of their last seven matches
• The Cherries have not won in six of their last seven matches
• Both teams have scored in five of Bournemouth's last six Premier League games

Probable line-up : Arrizabalaga – Smith, Zabarny, Senesi, Kerkez – Cook, Christie – Semenyo, Kluivert, Tavernier – Evanilson.
