Bournemouth
Few scenes in football can match the atmosphere of an opening Premier League match at Anfield, especially when it’s in honor of Jota.
Liverpool will be highly motivated by all these circumstances to beat Bournemouth in their season opener, particularly after their penalty shootout loss in the Community Shield.
Bournemouth, meanwhile, come into the match weakened defensively. They have lost both of their starting center-backs, Zabarnyi and Huijsen, to transfers, as well as goalkeeper Kepa, who had an outstanding season for them before moving to Arsenal and they sold their starting LB Kerkez to Liverpool .
What we say
Liverpool to Win
Liverpool have an excellent record against this opponent, winning the last five meetings and keeping a clean sheet in four of them.
Given Bournemouth’s defensive frailties and a poor pre-season in which they failed to win a single match, we believe Liverpool are strong favorites to take all three points and likely to score more than once in the process.
