Bournemouth v Man United Prediction, Tips & Odds

Sunday | 13:00 UTC | Vitality Stadium | Premier League

Manchester United travel to the south coast for a low-stakes clash against Bournemouth on Sunday. With little riding on this for either side, we could be in for a subdued encounter at the Vitality.

Bournemouth Eyeing Top-Half Finish

Bournemouth’s recent form has been quietly solid. Back-to-back clean sheets against Fulham and Crystal Palace have added 4 points to their tally, helping solidify a top-half position. However, scoring remains a concern- just one goal in those 2 games.

They’ve shown defensive organisation in recent weeks but still have a tendency to be unpredictable at home, as seen in a surprise defeat to relegation-threatened Ipswich earlier this month.

United’s Focus Shifts to Europe

For Manchester United, the Premier League has taken a back seat. Their hopes now rest squarely on the Europa League, with a semi-final first leg away to Athletic Bilbao looming. Expect Ruben Amorim to rotate heavily here as he keeps one eye on midweek.

The Red Devils have struggled for goals on the road, failing to score in 6 away matches this season- only Everton have drawn blanks more often away from home.

How the Bookies See It

United are big outsiders here at 4.60, with Bournemouth favourites priced at 1.66 and the draw available at 4.10. Given the lack of attacking firepower on both sides, a low-scoring affair looks likely. Both teams not to score is 1.70 and under 2.5 total goals comes in at 2.16.

Head-to-Head: Balanced Battles

These two sides have shared the spoils fairly evenly in recent meetings, with 3 wins a piece and a draw in their last 7 meetings. Bournemouth won the reverse fixture 3-0 earlier in the season and are unbeaten in their last 3 against United.

Players to Watch

Evanilson has been Bournemouth’s most consistent attacking threat, scoring 9 Premier League goals this season. Kluivert & Semenyo have also contributed to the goals this season.

With United likely to rest key players, goal threats could be limited. Focus instead on Bournemouth’s defence or Evanilson to tip the balance.

Predicted Lineups

Bournemouth: Neto; Smith, Zabarnyi, Senesi, Kerkez; Scott, Adams, Kluivert; Ouattara, Semenyo, Evanilson
Manchester United: Onana; Dalot, Lindelof, Mazraoui, Amass; Ugarte, Eriksen; Dorgu, Mount, Garnacho; Hojlund
