Liverpool – Bournemouth Prediction Premier League, Matchday 1 on Friday, 08/15/25 at 9:00 p.m.
The defending champions’ start to the season did not go according to plan! Florian Wirtz failed to make much of an impression on his debut, and to make matters worse, the Community Shield went to Crystal Palace after a nerve-wracking penalty shootout.
Now it’s time to get the 2025/26 Premier League season off to a good start. I’m doing that by placing my soccer bets at Merkur Bets, where I’m taking advantage of the best Liverpool Bournemouth odds around!
What’s my Liverpool Bournemouth prediction? Spurred on by the defeat against the Eagles and the fact that they have won 11 of their last 12 league games against Bournemouth, the Reds should be able to come out on top.
My Liverpool Bournemouth tip: Half-time/Full-time 1/1
Here are the reasons for my prediction:
- Liverpool have won 11 of their last 12 league games against AFC!
- The Reds haven’t lost on the first day of the season for 12 years!
- Liverpool are angry after their defeat in the Community Shield!

ChatGPT’s Liverpool Bournemouth AI prediction is almost entirely suitable for testing at a betting provider with PayPal. Only the high-risk suggestion falls on deaf ears for me.
A Liverpool win with HC -3 at 4.75 is a real cracker of a tip, but historically rather rare. In the last ten direct encounters, the Reds have only beaten Bournemouth by such a clear margin twice – a risk that is more likely to appeal to brave bettors.

Salah scoring at 1.60 seems like a classic bet for the start of the season. The Egyptian has been involved in more goals than any other player in the first matchday of the new Premier League season, with nine goals and 14 assists!
Liverpool wins & scores the first goal at a narrow 1.50 feels like a sure bet for a Liverpool Bournemouth tip.
In 33 Premier League seasons, reigning champions have lost their opening game only three times – a statistic that clearly speaks in favor of the Reds.
