Liverpool 4-2 Bournemouth

Current streaks

Recent form

Liverpool

Liverpool have shown mixed form in their recent fixtures, with a blend of wins, draws, and a single loss across various competitions. Despite their current 12th position in the league table, it's worth noting that they haven't played any Premier League matches yet this season. The Reds have demonstrated a potent attack, scoring an impressive 2.33 goals per game over their last six matches, but their defence has been somewhat leaky, conceding 1.83 goals per game. Notably, both teams have scored in all of these matches, and 83% of the games have seen over 2.5 goals, indicating high-scoring affairs. The 4-2 loss to AC Milan in a friendly stands out as a particularly high-scoring encounter. Liverpool's inability to keep a clean sheet in their last 10 games is a concern that manager Jürgen Klopp might need to address as they head into the new season.

Bournemouth

Bournemouth's recent form presents a mixed picture, with their last six matches yielding two wins, one draw, and three losses. The Cherries have shown defensive vulnerabilities, conceding 10 goals in their last six outings, including a heavy 4-1 defeat to Manchester United in the Premier League Summer Series. However, they've also demonstrated attacking prowess, scoring eight goals across these matches, with a notable 3-0 victory over Everton. Bournemouth have managed two clean sheets in this period, both resulting in wins, suggesting their success is closely tied to their defensive performance. The team's goal difference of -2 and their even split between under and over 2.5 goals per match indicate a side that can be involved in both tight contests and high-scoring affairs. Despite their current top position in the league table, it's worth noting that the season has not yet begun, and these pre-season results may not be indicative of their upcoming Premier League performance.

Recent home/away form
