Our prediction for this Premier League match:
Buoyed by a 7-0 win over Man Utd, Liverpool will look to stay in the Champions League race when they take on Bournemouth on Matchday 27. The Reds have been scoring goals for fun of late, and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play against the relegation strugglers. A man to watch in the away team will be Mohamed Salah, who scored a brace in the Premier League derby, while all Joseph Gomez, Thiago Alcantara, and Luis Diaz are out of contention with injuries.
The Cherries, on the other hand, were on the verge of sharing the spoils with league leaders Arsenal at Emirates Stadium, but the Gunners eventually scored a late winner to pick up all three points from the match. Since Bournemouth continue to struggle on the back, we are tempted to put our money on Jurgen Klopp’s troops, who are eyeing a top-four finish. The likes of Brooks, Stanislas, Tavernier, Zabarnyi, Vina, and Kelly are injured for the hosts.
Highlighted Player (Mohamed Salah):
Mohamed Salah is considered one of the best African players. Salah began his senior career at El Mokawloon, scoring 11 goals in 41 league appearances for the club and in 2012 he moved to Europe, signing a four-year deal with Swiss side Basel.
The pacey winger, who is capable of playing as a striker as well was producing outstanding displays for the RotBlau from 2012 to 2014 and, as a result, Chelsea chiefs decided to sign him on 26 January, 2015 for a fee of £11 million. Mohamed Salah, though, failed to impress in the Premier league and one year later he was sent on loan to Fiorentina.
After making 16 league appearances for the Viola in the Serie A, the left-footed winger signed a loan deal with Roma on 6 August, 2015. The Romans made the contract permanent on 3 August, 2016. Speaking of his international career, Salah made his Egypt debut on 3 September, 2011 in a 2-1 loss to Sierra Leone. It has to be noted that he was named Roma’s player of the season (2015/2016).
Highlighted Team (Bournemouth):
Bournemouth are a professional football club that was formed back in 1890. The Cherries secured promotion to the Premier League in the 2015/2016 season, with the team making it to the English top flight for the first time ever.
Bournemouth play their home games at Dean Court and the capacity of the stadium is 11,469.
The Cherries enjoyed a very successful season on their Premier League debut, with the team beating the likes of Chelsea and Manchester United in the national championship. Glenn Murray scored the winner for Bournemouth in the 1-0 win over the capital club at Stamford Bridge and that is probably the greatest victory in the club’s history.
Bournemouth have been participating in the FA Cup since 1913, but they have yet to win the trophy in the prestigious competition. It has to be noted that the club’s original name Boscombe Athletic Football Club was changed to Bournemouth back in 1923 as the club owners wanted the Cherries to be more representative of the district.
