Liverpool, Bornham: A Secure Wager on Owners with Odds of 1.75
In the opening game of the new English championship, reigning champions Liverpool will face a challenging test against Bournemouth. Last season, Bournemouth finished ninth in the Premier League, scoring a club record of 56 points [1]. However, the departure of several key defenders during the off-season has weakened their squad significantly [3].
On the other hand, Liverpool have had a turbulent off-season, losing several key players, including Alexander-Arnold, Diaz, Nunez, and Jota, who tragically passed away in a car accident [4]. Despite these losses, the team has strengthened with the arrivals of Firpo, Ekiti, Karik, and Vitja [5].
Liverpool's recent encounters with Bournemouth have been one-sided, with the Reds winning all of their last five meetings [2]. The most recent encounter, on August 15, 2025, showcased Liverpool's resilience and attacking strength. Despite Bournemouth taking a 2-0 lead, Liverpool fought back with late goals from Federico Chiesa and Mohamed Salah to secure a 4-2 victory [1][3].
The match statistics from this game demonstrated Liverpool's control and offensive dominance, with higher possession (61.2% vs 38.8%) and more total shots (19 vs 10) [5]. Bournemouth proved competitive, with two goals and a strong second-half showing, but ultimately lacked the finishing power or defensive resilience to hold Liverpool back [1][4].
Salah and Vitja are expected to play a significant role in Liverpool's victory over Bournemouth, given their form and the team's need for attacking prowess [6]. A reliable bet has been selected for this match with a coefficient of 1.75 [7].
Despite Bournemouth's spirited performance in their recent encounter, Liverpool's Premier League champion status, consistent winning record against Bournemouth, and demonstrated skill in late-game scenarios make them the likely winners. However, Bournemouth may challenge strongly and could potentially cause an upset, given their competitive nature [2].
In the friendly matches, Bournemouth's performance was mediocre, winning only three out of seven games [8]. This suggests that they may struggle to match Liverpool's intensity and quality in the opening game of the new season.
