Bournemouth vs. Liverpool: Match Prediction
The confidence with which Andoni Iraola's side dealt with the third and fifth teams in the Premier League indicates the incredible form of the hosts. Bournemouth scored nine goals against Newcastle and Nottingham Forest and is justifiably hopeful of scoring against the league leaders. It's worth noting that the hosts of the upcoming match have scored in 15 of their last 16 Premier League games.
Liverpool, in the current championship, has scored at least two goals in 19 out of 22 matches. However, the team has also conceded in 7 of their last 9 Premier League games. So, we can expect a high-scoring game in this match as well. Furthermore, at least three goals have been scored in 13 of the last 14 head-to-head encounters in the Premier League.
My prediction: Total over 3 goals
