Liverpool vs. Bournemouth AFC Picks
Liverpool have dominated Bournemouth in recent meetings and it’s hard to see anything change this time around.
The Reds have scored at least two goals in their last three games with the Cherries and with Arne Slot’s side adding more firepower, there could be goals again.
Liverpool’s explosive attack combined with a Bournemouth defence that has been chopped and changed over the summer, means the Champions should ease to an opening day victory.
Other match ups include, over three goals for Liverpool, Darwin Nunez, who has scored in his two of his last three against Bournemouth, to score and Mohamed Salah to have at least two shots on target.
