Liverpool vs AFC Bournemouth - Premier League Preview and Odds

February 09, 2019 15:00pm - Anfield

Premier League

Liverpool can move back to the top of the Premier League table with a win over 10th-ranked AFC Bournemouth on Saturday afternoon.

Having lost their place at the Premier League`s summit to Manchester City on Wednesday night, following City`s win at Everton, Jurgen Klopp?s men will look to make the most of their game in hand and climb back above their rivals.

The Reds` seven-point advantage gained over the Christmas period has been slowly eroded by the reigning champions. However, a win this weekend would keep them in the driving seat heading into the final dozen games.

The Anfield club have won just two of their last five matches in the league although they remain unbeaten in 33 fixtures on home soil. They come into this match on the back of a pair of 1-1 draws at home to Leicester City and away to West Ham United.

Liverpool have scored 11 goals without conceding in their last three meetings against Bournemouth and have only lost once in 10 previous meetings.

AFC Bournemouth kick off in 10th place after winning two of their last three games including a 4-0 victory over Chelsea. However, Eddie Howe`s men come into this game on the back of a disappointing 2-0 defeat to relegation candidates Cardiff City.

Away from home, they are looking end a run of seven-straight defeats, but with just one win against Liverpool in their history and none at Anfield, the signs do not look good.

Betting odds and tips

Liverpool have enjoyed playing against Bournemouth in recent years and they are due a strong performance after an under-par couple of weeks. Expect the home side to dominate as they fight to restore their three-point cushion at the top of the table.

A Home Win with a goal count of Over 2.5 looks on the cards and would have paid out in the last three meetings between the two.

You can back Liverpool/Over 2.5 Goals at 4/7.
