Liverpool begin their Premier League title defence at Anfield on Friday night, with Arne Slot’s side looking to extend their excellent home record against a Bournemouth team who have often struggled on Merseyside.
Liverpool to Win & Both Teams to Score
The Reds have won five straight matches against Bournemouth but have gone six competitive games without a clean sheet. The Cherries scored in nine of their 12 matches against last season’s big six and can trouble a Liverpool defence missing Ryan Gravenberch’s midfield cover.

Cody Gakpo Anytime Scorer
The Dutch forward ended last season strongly and scored four goals in four pre-season outings. With Mo Salah attracting defensive attention, Gakpo could thrive in advanced positions.

Over 3.5 Goals (Value Bet)
Liverpool’s last four home games of last season saw an average of 3.75 goals, while Bournemouth’s attack has enough pace to hit on the break. The odds of 6/4 suggest a 40% implied probability, but recent data hints closer to 50%, making it strong value.
