Recent form

Liverpool

Liverpool's recent form has been impressive, with five wins in their last six matches across all competitions, including a notable 3-0 victory against Manchester United. Their only blemish was a surprising 1-0 home defeat to Nottingham Forest, which interrupted a four-game winning streak. The team's attacking prowess is evident, having scored 14 goals in these six games (2.33 per game), while their defense has been equally solid, conceding only 3 goals (0.5 per game) and keeping 3 clean sheets. The 4-1 friendly win against Sevilla stands out as a high-scoring encounter. Liverpool's current 4th position in the league with 9 points from 4 games reflects their strong start to the season, and their positive goal difference of 11 across these matches underlines their dominance in most games.

Bournemouth

Bournemouth's recent form has been mixed, with their last six games across all competitions resulting in two wins, two draws, and two losses. Despite their mid-table position (11th) in the Premier League, they have struggled to keep clean sheets, conceding in all of their recent matches. The team's goal-scoring ability has been noteworthy, averaging 1.33 goals per game, with a particularly exciting 3-2 friendly win against Girona and a 3-2 away victory at Everton. Interestingly, both teams have scored in 67% of these games, suggesting entertaining matches for spectators. However, the majority of their recent fixtures (67%) have seen under 2.5 goals, indicating a tendency towards tighter, lower-scoring affairs in competitive matches. With an even goal difference and identical goals scored and conceded averages, Bournemouth's performances have been balanced, if somewhat inconsistent.

Bournemouth

This win broke a streak of five games without a victory on the road, during which they drew three times and lost twice. Interestingly, Bournemouth has been consistent in scoring away from home, finding the net in each of their last five matches across all competitions. However, they've also struggled to keep clean sheets, conceding in all six recent away games.
