Liverpool vs Bournemouth Prediction & Betting Tips (15 August)

The departure of the charismatic coach Jürgen Klopp last summer did not see anything good for Liverpool who finally achieved a great season last year. Indeed, the Mersey club has largely dominated its opponents to win the title with 10 points ahead of Arsenal. The Reds made a very good start before serenely managing their advance during the 2nd half of the championship. The objective is obviously to do as well this season or even better in other competitions. As a reminder, Liverpool lost to PSG in the 8th finals of the Champions League and bowed against Newcastle in the League Cup final. Last weekend, Arne Slot's men launched this 2025/2026 exercise with the upcoming community shield.

Last year, the Cherries displayed excellent arrangements and finished 9th in the Premier League with 9 points behind 7th place. They hope to confirm this season by consolidating their new status within the elite a little more. Going closer to European strapontins appears a credible goal for this club which is built intelligently. Bournemouth began his preparation with 3 Hibernian, Everton and Bristol City victories.

This summer, Liverpool let go of the important right side Alexander-Arnold (Real Madrid), goalkeeper No. 2 Kelleher (Brentford) and the young defender Quansah (Leverkusen). Luis Diaz has more recently packed to join Bayern, and Darwin Nunez (al-Hilal) too, always on the side of offensive. In the opposite direction, the Reds have enlisted the German international Wirtz (Leverkusen), the former Parisian Ekitike (Frankfurt) as well as the laterals Frimpong (Leverkusen) and Kerkez (Bournemouth), but that could not stop there since the leaders want to recruit Isak (Newcastle) for a record amount. Mohammed Salah (29 goals and 18 PL passes last year) made the choice to resign in Liverpool at the end of last season. Gakpo (10 goals and 4 PL passes last year) is there just like the Konaté and Van Dijk defensive rocks. Unfortunately, the Mersey club experienced a drama this summer with the death of its International Portuguese Diogo Jota.

Of Bournemouth, it was impossible to retain young defenders Huijsen (Real Madrid) and Kerkez (Liverpool). Note that the porter Kepa (End of Loan) and the least important through (Everton) and Anthony (Burnley) also left the club. On the other hand, the porter Petrovic (Chelsea) and the left side Truffert (Rennes) came to strengthen the Cherries while the young striker Kroupi (Lorient) is expected to play a role this season. Bournemouth's major offensive assets during the previous exercise, Ouattara (7 goals and 4 PL passes last year), Kluivert (12 goals and 6 PL passes last year), Semenyo (11 goals and 5 PL passes last year) and Evanilson (10 PL goals last year) are still there. This is also the case of the solid defender Zabarnyi who was courted by PSG this summer.
