Analysis of the match between Bournemouth and Liverpool
Bournemouth are enduring a challenging Premier League campaign, constantly battling to maintain a safe position in the standings. Nevertheless, under the guidance of head coach Andoni Iraola, the Vitality Stadium side continue to display resilience and fighting spirit. After 21 rounds, Bournemouth have collected 26 points from 6 wins, 8 draws and 7 defeats. Their goal difference of 34–40 clearly reflects their identity: an attacking mindset combined with persistent defensive vulnerabilities.
In terms of recent form, Bournemouth have struggled to convince, managing just one win in their last five Premier League matches, alongside two draws and two losses. However, their biggest strength lies at home. At the Vitality Stadium, Bournemouth have been far more effective, recording 5 wins, 4 draws and only 2 defeats from 11 home games this season. Sitting 15th in the table keeps them temporarily clear of immediate danger, but it is far from enough for them to feel comfortable if they wish to establish themselves as a stable Premier League side.
On the other hand, Liverpool currently sit fourth in the Premier League with 36 points after 22 matches. Under head coach Arne Slot, the Merseyside club have struggled to find the consistency required to mount a serious title challenge. A record of 10 wins, 6 draws and 6 defeats, along with a goal difference of 33–29, suggests a relatively balanced campaign, though not one that truly stands out.
Notably, Liverpool’s away form this season has been a major concern. From 11 league matches on the road, they have managed just 4 wins, 3 draws and 4 defeats—an underwhelming return compared to their traditionally strong performances away from Anfield. Still, their emphatic 3-0 victory over Marseille in the Champions League earlier this week could provide a significant morale boost ahead of the trip to Bournemouth.
