Liverpool vs Bournemouth Preview

Anfield provides the stage for the curtain-raiser to Liverpool’s Premier League title defence, as the reigning champions welcome Bournemouth. The Reds are looking to begin their quest for a record-extending 21st English top-flight title, while Bournemouth aim to prove they can be more than just an early-season opponent for the champions.

경기 뉴스 및 현재 양식

Liverpool enter the new season among the favourites to retain their Premier League crown after another ambitious summer transfer window in which they spent more than £250 million on new talent. High-profile arrivals include Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen, Milos Kerkez from Bournemouth, Jeremie Frimpong from Bayer Leverkusen, and Hugo Ekitike from Paris Saint-Germain. These additions further strengthen a side that already lifted the league title last term.

However, the start to their competitive campaign was not ideal. In the Community Shield, Liverpool fell to FA Cup holders Crystal Palace in a penalty shootout after a 1-1 draw. Frimpong and Ekitike both scored on their debuts in that fixture, which will provide encouragement for Arne Slot’s men, but they will be keen to put that disappointment behind them quickly. Liverpool’s track record in season openers suggests they are well-placed to do so, having won nine of their last twelve Premier League curtain raisers.

Bournemouth arrive at Anfield following a summer of change, having seen several key players depart, including Kerkez, defender Ilya Zabarnyi, and youngster Dean Huijsen. This has prompted a reshaping of the squad, with notable arrivals such as goalkeeper Đorđe Petrović and left-back Adrien Truffert brought in to bolster the defence. Despite the upheaval, the Cherries can take confidence from their strong recent record in opening-day fixtures, as they remain unbeaten in their last seven Premier League season openers, winning three and drawing four. Last season’s ninth-place finish equalled their best-ever top-flight performance, adding further optimism.

헤드 투 헤드 기록

Liverpool have dominated this fixture in recent years, winning twelve of the last thirteen meetings with Bournemouth in all competitions, losing just once in that run. Nine of those victories have been accompanied by a clean sheet, underlining their defensive control over the Cherries. Anfield has been an especially unhappy hunting ground for Bournemouth, as they have lost on each of their last six visits there.

인기 통계 및 연속 기록

• Liverpool’s last six matches in all competitions have seen both teams score.
• Seven of Liverpool’s last nine matches have produced more than 2.5 total goals.
• Bournemouth have found the net in fourteen of their last fifteen away matches in the Premier League.
• Nine of Bournemouth’s last ten away league matches have seen both teams score.

These statistics suggest that while Liverpool have enjoyed dominance over Bournemouth, the Cherries often carry a threat in front of goal, particularly on their travels.

주목해야 할 주요 업체

For Liverpool, 모하메드 살라 remains the headline attraction. Last season’s Premier League Golden Boot winner is renowned for starting fast; no player in Premier League history has scored more goals (nine) or contributed more goal involvements (fourteen) on the opening weekend.

Salah’s ability to combine with new arrivals like Wirtz and Frimpong could make him even more dangerous this season.

Bournemouth will look to striker 에바닐슨 to provide their attacking spark. The Brazilian forward netted nine league goals last season, with six of those coming away from home.

His movement and finishing ability could trouble a Liverpool defence that conceded in each of their last six matches in all competitions.

팀 뉴스 및 부재자

Liverpool will be without midfielder Ryan Gravenberch, who is serving a suspension carried over from last season. Slot will otherwise have close to a full-strength squad at his disposal, with the new signings likely to feature prominently.

Bournemouth, meanwhile, are missing Lewis Cook due to suspension and Enes Ünal, who continues his recovery from a knee injury. The absence of these two regulars could force tactical adjustments from manager Andoni Iraola.

전술적 전망

Liverpool are expected to take control of possession from the outset, using the pace and width provided by their new signings to stretch Bournemouth’s defensive lines. Arne Slot may opt for a high press to force turnovers in dangerous areas, while also relying on his full-backs to provide attacking overloads.

Bournemouth’s approach is likely to be more cautious, focusing on compact defending and quick counter-attacks. The pace of wingers and the presence of Evanilson up front will be key to exploiting any space left behind by Liverpool’s attacking full-backs.

베팅 분석

Given Liverpool’s historical dominance in this fixture, particularly at Anfield, backing the champions to win looks safe. Considering that nine of their last thirteen victories over Bournemouth came with a clean sheet, a Liverpool win to nil could offer value.

However, the fact that Bournemouth have scored in fourteen of their last fifteen away games, coupled with Liverpool’s tendency to concede in recent matches, means both teams to score could also appeal to punters looking for higher odds. For goal markets, over 2.5 goals is a logical selection given the attacking quality on display and both sides’ scoring records.

예측

Liverpool’s superior squad depth, firepower, and home advantage make them strong favourites to start their title defence with a win. Bournemouth’s attacking threat should not be underestimated, but the defensive gaps created by their summer departures could be exploited by Liverpool’s relentless attack.

Prediction: Liverpool 3-1 Bournemouth
