Bournemouth host Liverpool on 20 September 2026 at 16:00 in the Premier League's fifth round. Liverpool arrive as favourites after winning four of their last ten away games, though they drew 0-0 with Fulham in their most recent league outing. Bournemouth have started slowly, collecting just three points from four matches, but their home record stands at 11 consecutive league games without defeat.
Form and H2H
Liverpool have scored in all ten of their last away Premier League matches, averaging 1.61 goals per game on the road. In their last seven away games, they exceeded 2.5 total goals in six matches. Bournemouth scored in nine of their last ten home league games and conceded at least 1.5 goals in nine of those same ten matches. Head-to-head records show Liverpool have scored at least two goals in seven consecutive meetings across all competitions.
Bournemouth's defensive setup at home limits opposition shots on target to a maximum of five in nine of their last ten league games. Liverpool rank third from bottom for shots per game this season with 6.75 attempts, and they drew 0-0 with Fulham last time out. These factors create genuine resistance to Liverpool's attacking threat.
Best bet
Liverpool over 1.5 goals. Liverpool's away form shows consistent goal-scoring across ten consecutive matches, and Bournemouth's home record includes nine of ten games with at least 1.5 total goals. The fixture history backs this angle: Liverpool have netted two or more in their last seven meetings. At Melbet, the away win prices at 2.14 and at Mostbet at 2.14 reflect Liverpool's slight edge, but the individual total offers better value given the scoring patterns on both sides.
Odds to watch
Liverpool win is available at 2.14 on Mostbet, 2.2 on 1xBet, and 2.14 on Melbet. Bournemouth win trades at 3.0 on Mostbet, 3.12 on Melbet, and 3.28 on 1xBet. The draw sits at 3.76 on Melbet, 3.77 on Mostbet, and 3.9 on 1xBet. Both teams to score is priced at 1.45 across the market, suggesting a 69% implied probability of goals at both ends.
