AFC Bournemouth vs Liverpool Prediction, Odds and Picks for Saturday, 02/01/25

Bournemouth’s huge victories over Newcastle and Nottingham Forest have seen the Cherries rise to 7th in the Premier League standings and just 1 point off the top 4, but now face their biggest test of the season as they host Liverpool. Bournemouth are unbeaten in 11 games and boast a rock-solid defense that has conceded only 9 times since that streak began in November. However, they may struggle to contain a Liverpool side that has hit 17 goals in their last 5 road games.

Arne Slot wisely kept most of his best players at home when a young squad traveled to face PSV Eindhoven for their midweek Champions League clash. Preserving energy for this contest against one of the most intense EPL teams will be one of the keys to victory for Liverpool. Slot has rotated a lot less than his predecessor Jurgen Klopp and that makes his starting 11 pretty easy to predict here, while Iraola is unlikely to change anything for form and injury reasons.

Bournemouth lost 3-0 at Anfield earlier this season, but the scoreline did not tell the full story as they had a goal disallowed for a close offside and hit the crossbar late on. In their current form, they should be able to score in Saturday’s rematch but Liverpool have enough quality and ruthlessness to grab goals themselves. The Reds have bagged 2 or more goals in 9 of their 11 road league games this term and have regularly found ways to torment Bournemouth’s defense. Expect plenty of goals in this one.
