The Premier League curtain-raiser at Anfield sees champions Liverpool host a Bournemouth side who will be eager to make an early statement, but history suggests the Reds should dominate.
Liverpool -1 Handicap
Liverpool have beaten Bournemouth by two or more goals in four of their last five meetings at Anfield. With the Cherries losing key defensive figures over the summer, this looks a strong opening-day angle.

Mo Salah Anytime Scorer
Salah will be desperate to put his Community Shield miss behind him and has scored in six of his last seven league openers for Liverpool. Bournemouth’s reshuffled defence could be the perfect target.
✅ Tip: Salah Anytime Scorer @ 10/11 with Bet365
Bournemouth Over 0.5 Goals (Value Bet)
The Cherries netted in nine of their 12 games against the big six last term and Liverpool’s six-game streak without a clean sheet makes 4/6 for at least one away goal look like value. The odds imply a 60% chance, but the data points towards 75%.
