Manchester United vs Bournemouth Prediction & Betting Tips - Premier League

Prediction published on 07/12/2023, 09:00  by Steve Ashfield in Premier League Predictions

Manchester United won in midweek and aim to get another win at Old Trafford on Saturday. The Reds are sixth in the Premier League and host 15th placed Bournemouth, who also won their last fixture. United beat Chelsea 2-1 at home on Wednesday with Scott McTominay scoring both of their goals. While the Red Devils have plenty of critics they do come into this home game against Bournemouth having won four of their last five league fixtures and conceding only two goals. The midweek win has left them just three points behind fourth place. Nine of their 15 league games this season have been won but the other six lost. At Old Trafford, they have won five league games and lost three. They have won three of their last four home league matches, the other being a 3-0 defeat by Manchester City.

Bournemouth won 2-0 at Crystal Palace on Wednesday and are now unbeaten in their last four Premier League fixtures. That was an important win for the Cherries who have regularly struggled on their travels since returning to the Premier League. This season has seen them earn just one point from their first four away league games. They have recovered well though and won at Sheffield United before the latest win at Palace. Before Thursday's fixtures, they are now nine points above the bottom three. United have won their last three games against Bournemouth and we tip them to get a home win this weekend.
