Liverpool vs Bournemouth Team News

In this Liverpool vs Bournemouth Team News update, both clubs head into the season opener with enforced absences.

Liverpool will be without Ryan Gravenberch, who serves a suspension following a red card on the final day of last season. However, there’s plenty of excitement surrounding the potential competitive debut of Florian Wirtz, the highly regarded summer acquisition expected to add creative spark in midfield.

Bournemouth, meanwhile, miss two key players. Lewis Cook continues to serve a three-match suspension after a sending-off against Manchester City late last season. Striker Enes Unal remains sidelined due to a knee injury, leaving Iraola short of attacking depth as he prepares to take on the champions.

Liverpool vs Bournemouth Betting Tips

For punters analysing the Liverpool vs Bournemouth betting tips, the numbers paint a strong case for a home win with goals expected.

Liverpool have won five consecutive matches against Bournemouth, with four of those matches producing over 2.5 goals. The Reds were dominant at Anfield last season, collecting 14 wins in 19 home league fixtures and suffering only one defeat — a remarkable record underlining their home advantage.

Mohamed Salah remains a reliable goal threat, particularly on the opening weekend. The Egyptian has netted nine goals in Premier League openers — a record unmatched — and enters this campaign fresh off finishing as the league’s top scorer in 2024/25.

Bournemouth, though capable on the road with seven away wins last term, may find themselves overwhelmed by Liverpool’s intensity and attacking firepower at Anfield. The Cherries conceded nine goals in their two meetings with Liverpool last season and failed to score in both.

Recommended Tip: Liverpool to win & Over 2.5 goals

Liverpool vs Bournemouth Match Prediction

Our Liverpool vs Bournemouth prediction is a confident home victory to kick off the Reds’ title defence. Given their imperious home form, combined with Bournemouth’s struggles in this fixture, it’s hard to see past a dominant Liverpool performance.

Liverpool’s ability to control matches at Anfield, especially in high-tempo early season encounters, often overwhelms visiting sides. Arne Slot’s men will be eager to start strong, and with Salah, Wirtz, and Diaz all expected to feature, the attacking threat is considerable.
