AFC Bournemouth vs Liverpool: match statistics
Liverpool presents decidedly better form in the last five matches, gaining 1.8 points per match compared to Bournemouth's 1.2 points. The visitors show a higher average possession (60% vs 54%) and better scoring efficiency in away matches. Bournemouth has a problematic defense at home, conceding an average of 1 goal per match with an xGA of 1.1, which Liverpool can exploit with an average of 1.55 goals away. The hosts' home form shows volatility (wwdwwdlddlw), while Liverpool has not lost in the last five matches (ddwdw). Although Bournemouth has a positive goal difference at home (+5), the class difference between the teams in 15th and 4th place in the table speaks for the visitors. I expect a difficult match for the hosts, in which Liverpool should reach for the three points.
