The match of the 23rd round of the Premier League between Bournemouth and Liverpool will take place on January 24 at Vitality Stadium. Bournemouth Vs Liverpool: prediction, betting odds and statistics.
Bournemouth
Bournemouth under Andoni Iraola are slowly starting to emerge from the crisis. After a home win over Tottenham (3:2) the home team managed to draw away at Brighton (1:1). At the same time, the triumph over the Londoners in the 21st round remains the only victory in the last 13 league matches (6 draws and 6 defeats). The club remains in 15th place, but has a comfortable 10-point gap from the bottom three. It is also worth noting that the home team’s matches are the highest scoring in the league — an average of 3.5 goals are scored.
- Both teams to score has occurred in the club’s last 7 Premier League matches.
- At home Bournemouth have only 1 win in their previous 6 Premier League meetings (3 draws and 2 defeats).
- The team did not concede in the first half in 11 of the last 12 home league games (4 wins and 7 draws).
Potential Bournemouth Lineup (4-2-3-1)*
Djordje Petrovic – Alex Jimenez, Marcos Senesi, Adrien Truffert, James Hill – Alex Scott, Lewis Cook – Elye Junior Krupi, Marcus Tavernier, Amine Adli – Evanilson Barbosa.
The goalkeeper William Dennis and midfielder Tyler Adams, and forwards Enes Unal, Ben Doak and Justin Kluivert are out with injuries. The participation of forward Marcus Tavernier and midfielder David Brooks is doubtful.
Liverpool
Liverpool under Arne Slot have not suffered a defeat in official competitions this winter, but the away team continues to drop points in the league. In the previous round Liverpool hosted Burnley and could not beat the outsider – 1:1. That was a fourth consecutive draw in the Premier League, and in three of those matches the team faced opponents from the bottom half of the table. Liverpool are already noticeably behind the leader by 14 points. Their current fourth place is also under threat, as five rivals sit just 1–3 points behind.
- The team’s unbeaten run in the league now stands at 10 matches (4 wins and 6 draws).
- Exactly two or three goals were scored in 13 of Liverpool’s previous 18 Premier League games.
- Liverpool scored in the second half in 9 of their last 11 away Premier League matches.
Potential Liverpool Lineup (4-5-1)*
Alisson – Milos Kerkez, Ibrahima Konate, Virgil van Dijk, Jeremie Frimpong – Curtis Jones, Ryan Gravenberch, Dominik Szoboszlai, Florian Wirtz, Cody Gakpo – Hugo Ekitike.
Defender Conor Bradley and forward Alexander Isak are injured.

Bournemouth Vs Liverpool: Match Prediction
Arne Slot is under pressure and faces the threat of dismissal. While the coach still has time to put things right, beyond the long unbeaten run he must restore confidence in his players. The team no longer looks like a side that is difficult to beat even for a draw. Liverpool have often dropped points even to teams from the second ten, and have also been conceding a lot. In the previous 18 league matches the visitors kept a clean sheet only five times.
We do not doubt that Bournemouth will score against Liverpool. The home team’s matches are the highest scoring in the league. Moreover, the home side in their seven previous Premier League fixtures both scored and conceded. We expect spectators to see at least three goals in this encounter. That number of goals, incidentally, occurred in 13 of the last 16 head-to-head Premier League meetings.
Prediction: Over 2.5 goals
* For each team the starting lineup shown is from its previous match in this competition.
