Bournemouth vs. Liverpool Prediction
Based on Bournemouth’s expected regression, particularly on defense, my Bournemouth vs. Liverpool prediction is Over 3.5 Goals (+115).Â
The reverse fixture between these sides finished 3-0, but the underlying metrics suggest more goals should have occurred.Â
Liverpool scored three off 3.84 post-shot expected goals, while Bournemouth failed to score off 1.53 post-shot xG.Â
Regarding Bournemouth, a massive amount of regression is on the way based on their underlying metrics.Â
Through 23 fixtures, Bournemouth matches have seen 67 goals. That comes against 72.7 expected goals and a whopping 81.3 post-shot xG!
Most of that regression comes defensively. Bournemouth has conceded 26 goals off 35.7 post-shot xG.Â
At a +9.7 goals saved under expected, Bournemouth leads the league by 5.5 goals. That’s as big a gap between second and 15th in that category, per fbref.com.Â
Regression should be expected against Liverpool, which leads the league in post-shot xGF.Â
Sample five matches at full strength against teams fifth or better in post-shot xGF and bettors will find Bournemouth conceded 2.36 post-shot xG per 90.Â
At the same time, Bournemouth’s attack has run pretty unlucky.Â
The Cherries have scored 41 goals off 45.6 post-shot xG. That underperformance ranks second in the league, behind only Crystal Palace.Â
