AFC Bournemouth vs Liverpool Preview

Liverpool head to the south coast full of momentum, unbeaten in their last five outings, when they visit Vitality Stadium to face a Bournemouth side that have won only once in the same span. Bournemouth’s most recent result was a 2-2 home draw with Brentford, following a 4-0 League Cup win over Lincoln the game before. Prior to that win, a 2-2 away draw at Newcastle had itself followed a 1-1 home draw with Everton, while further back a 2-1 away defeat at Manchester City opened this run. Across these five matches Bournemouth have taken one win, three draws and a single loss, failing to win any of their last three league outings.

Liverpool have not lost across their last five games. Most recently they won 3-1 away at Tottenham in the League Cup, following a goalless home draw with Fulham the game before. Before that draw, a 2-1 home win over Atl. Madrid in the Champions League league phase kept the run going, and prior to that a 0-2 away win at Ipswich had itself followed a 2-2 home draw with Nottingham. Across these five outings Liverpool have taken two wins and three draws, with the Tottenham result offering their most emphatic scoreline of the sample.

Liverpool have dominated this head-to-head lately, winning four of the last five meetings to Bournemouth’s one, with no draws anywhere in the sample. The most recent meeting went the other way, though, with Bournemouth winning 3-2 at home in January, before which Liverpool won 4-2 at Anfield in August last year. Vitality Stadium has otherwise been a stronghold for the visitors, with Liverpool also winning 0-2 there in February 2025, part of a run in this fixture where they’ve scored in every single meeting covered here.

Bournemouth currently sit 15th on three points from four games, with Liverpool 8th on six. A win for Liverpool would take them to nine points, moving them into the top half of the table depending on other results around them.
