Bournemouth vs Liverpool Prediction & Tips
Bournemouth’s 2026 could have been very different, as despite their victory over Tottenham, they have lost to Arsenal and Newcastle, and also drew with Brighton on Monday – although in each of those matches they were ahead on the scoreboard at some point in the game. Although there are positives, the Cherries cannot ignore the fact that they have only won one of their last 13 Premier League matches (six draws, six defeats). Returning to Vitality Stadium should help them get back on track, considering that Andoni Iraola’s side has lost only two of its last 12 league games at home (six wins, four draws). Bournemouth will need all the good omens it can get, as it has lost ten of its last 11 Premier League games against the reigning champions (one win).
Liverpool swap the south coast of France for the south coast of England after a flawless European performance in midweek, beating Marseille 3-0. That victory extended the Reds’ unbeaten run to 13 games in all competitions (7 wins, 6 draws). However, having drawn all four of their Premier League matches in 2026 takes some of the shine off that record, as they have missed a great opportunity to consolidate their position in the top four before the matchday. Only two teams in the history of the top flight have started a calendar year with five consecutive draws, while Liverpool themselves had not recorded five consecutive league draws since November 1980.
