Bournemouth take on the visitors Liverpool in the round 23 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Saturday, January 24th at Vitality Stadium (Bournemouth).
Bournemouth remain a rather distinctive project and may still have ambitions of reaching European competitions, but this does not seem to be the main priority. The club has effectively become a talent factory, focused on developing and selling players it has promoted and marketed. Thanks to Iraola’s work last season, even after key departures, the team managed to climb into the upper half of the table. However, the summer sales cycle continued, and at first it seemed that results would not suffer. From November onward, a deep slump followed, with the team going through a long winless run. Only in January did they manage to secure a dramatic 3-2 victory over Tottenham, before immediately finalizing another major transfer. Without that influence, they were knocked out of the cup on penalties by Newcastle and then drew 1-1 with Brighton in the last round. Recent performances suggest a lack of stability, with Bournemouth struggling to turn competitive matches into victories. Their results indicate a side that is difficult to beat but increasingly unable to finish games in their favor.

Liverpool desperately need points. The "Reds" appear to have mixed up their seasons. Ahead of the previous campaign, following Klopp’s departure, they were relatively inactive in the transfer market, yet Slot immediately guided the team to a Premier League title. In the summer of 2025, the club broke spending records, but suffered defeats to Crystal Palace in both the Super Cup and the League Cup, while also delivering uneven performances in other competitions. In the FA Cup, they comfortably beat Barnsley without much trouble. Their Champions League campaign has gone reasonably well, and this week they also played Marseille, expending additional energy. In the Premier League, however, Liverpool have already fallen well behind the top three and are now locked in a difficult battle even for fourth place. Last round, despite clear dominance, they were held to a 1-1 draw by Burnley, which triggered audible frustration from the supporters. The pressure to respond is growing, and dropped points have become far too frequent. Matches like this are increasingly seen as must-win fixtures if they want to stay in the top-four race.
In the last 14 head-to-head meetings, the Merseyside club recorded 13 wins and just one defeat. In August, the champions also won 4-2. It is impossible for the "Reds" to keep dropping points indefinitely. We are backing a Liverpool victory.
Prediction for the match: Liverpool to win.
