Bournemouth vs Liverpool: Why to back Dominik Szoboszlai to Score or Assist at 6/4 in Premier League clash

Premier League football will pause after this weekend for the September international break, but not before Liverpool take on Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium on Sunday.

The match will be a special occasion for Reds boss Andoni Iraola, who will be leading his current side out at the home of his former team.

Liverpool find themselves in 10th with six points, while Bournemouth are 16th with just three points, though both have played one game fewer than 12 of the other 18 sides in the division.

It comes as no surprise to see that bet365 have priced a Liverpool win at 23/20 (2.15), but the Cherries have respectable odds of 21/10 (3.1).

Sunday's match is sure to be emotional for Iraola and the home fans, but the hosts will be desperate to win for the first time in the Premier League this season.

Will Dominik Szoboszlai Score or Assist?

The game on Sunday will likely be frustrating for the Reds, who may have to break down a stubborn Bournemouth defence.

One of their routes to goal will be from midfield, especially through Dominik Szoboszlai given his abilities as both a scorer and creator.

No other player has scored more goals from outside the box for Premier League clubs in all competitions than Szoboszlai (13) since joining the Merseysiders in the summer of 2023, while he also often swings in crosses from set pieces.

With the midfielder looking to prove his doubters wrong following poor performances, there could be value in backing Dominik Szoboszlai to Score or Assist at 6/4 (2.5).

Dominik Szoboszlai's goal record assessed

Szoboszlai ranks as the Reds' joint top scorer this season having netted three times in all competitions, scoring against Newcastle United in the Premier League, Atletico Madrid in the Champions League and Tottenham Hotspur in the EFL Cup.

His strike against Newcastle came from the penalty spot, and if the Reds are awarded one against Bournemouth, he will almost certainly be trusted to take the spotkick.

It should be noted that while Bournemouth beat Liverpool 3-2 in the corresponding fixture in 2025-26, Szoboszlai scored and assisted in that game.
