Bournemouth vs. Liverpool Bet Builder Tips: 28/1 treble for south coast clash

After agonisingly letting a 2-0 lead slip in a 3-2 defeat to Premier League leaders Arsenal last weekend, struggling Bournemouth bid to bounce back on home soil against a rejuvenated Liverpool.

It's a fixture that holds painful memories for the Cherries faithful following that 9-0 obliteration at Anfield earlier this season, which slammed the door shut on Scott Parker's tenure.

Unfortunately for the hosts, Liverpool travel down to the south coast off the back of another blockbuster scoreline: a staggering 7-0 thrashing of Man Utd. Yikes.

It's been a difficult season for Liverpool who aren't in the title race, suffered early exits in the defence of their domestic cups, and now face a gargantuan task to overturn a 5-2 first-leg defeat to Real Madrid in the Champions League last-16.

Top-four is therefore a must. The Reds have rocketed back into the mix through a return of 13 points from their last five league games and, as we witnessed last weekend, on their day they can be absolutely frightening. 

Bournemouth know this first hand after they shipped nine goals in that record-equalling 9-0 defeat back in August.

11 defeats in their last 15 games mean the rock-bottom Cherries will once again be fearing the worst come Saturday lunchtime.

It's therefore impossible to look past Liverpool's in-form goalscoring assets in our 28/1 Bet Builder, which requires Mo Salah and Cody Gakpo to both have over 1.5 shots on target, plus Bournemouth's Adam Smith to be booked.

We'll start with Salah who has the wind back in his sails after scoring five goals in his last five games, including a brace against United.

He also has a superb record against Bournemouth, scoring in six of the last seven encounters, including a hat-trick in 2018/19. Surprisingly, the only anomaly during that run was when he blanked in the 9-0 win!

Only Harry Kane and Erling Haaland (both 43) have recorded more shots on target than the winger (32) who has gone over 1.5 shots on target in nine of his last 16 league games and is priced. At 6/5, we expect him to tick this box off once again against Bournemouth.

Gakpo doubled his Premier League goal count in the space of seven on-field minutes during that seven-goal rout last weekend. The Dutchman now has four goals on the board and will be hungry for more against Bournemouth.

I think he's a great price at 11/5 to have over 1.5 shots on target, a bet that's landed in two of his last three league starts. He's purring along nicely right now and will undoubtedly prove to be a real handful for the opposition defence this weekend.

We round things off with an Adam Smith booking at 5/2. He's picked up the fourth most yellows this term (eight), four of which have come in his last seven games, while he was booked in the 9-0 defeat earlier this season.

The right-back is likely to be in for a long afternoon up against Darwin Nunez who is enjoying a real purple patch right now (four goals in four games) and has drawn at least one foul in seven of his last eight games.

This elevates the Bet Builder up to 28/1 with BoyleSports.
