Bournemouth vs Manchester United

Bournemouth continue their push for a place in Europe next season as they host Manchester United in an English Premier League fixture.

Both teams come into this one looking a bit off colour but the hosts will take some confidence from their recent record in this fixture. With the visitors focused on European engagements, the Cherries can take advantage and claim a home win here.

Bournemouth Form

Following a recent poor run, Bournemouth have lost some ground in the race for the European places and now sit eight points off the top six. However, they have attempted to get things back on track in recent weeks and are unbeaten in their last three matches.

Bournemouth will head into this clash off the back of a 0-0 draw at Crystal Palace last time out in the Premier League. However, that result follows a 1-0 win for Andoni Iraola’s team over Fulham in their previous home fixture.

Antoine Semenyo and Evanilson have impressed lately for Bournemouth and lead an attack that has scored in the last five matches across all competitions. However, they have failed to keep a clean sheet in four of those fixtures, with three of the last four fixtures producing over 2.5 goals.

Manchester United Form

Manchester United are currently in the bottom half of the table and sitting 19 points off the top six, cannot make the European places via their league finish. Manager Ruben Amorim appears to be prioritizing the UEFA Europa League as a way to get into the Champions League and have a semi-final clash with Athletic Bilbao on the horizon.

Things have been pretty rough for Manchester United in the Premier League lately, with three defeats in that last four matches, losing 1-0 to Wolverhampton Wanderers last time out. The Red Devils have also struggled on their travels in the league and are winless in four of their last five away matches.

Manchester United have shown flashes of quality going forward lately, scoring in three of their last four matches across all competitions. However, a shaky defence remains a hindrance having failed to keep a clean sheet in their last four matches, with three of the fixtures producing over 2.5 goals.

Head to Head

Bournemouth have the upper hand in recent matches against Manchester United and are unbeaten in the last three meetings. The hosts have picked up two wins in that run, including a 3-0 away victory in the reverse fixture back in December.

Verdict

Bournemouth v Man Utd

Manchester United's focus appears to be on the Europa League and they are likely to field a much changed team on Sunday. A seemingly weakened team should play into the hands of Bournemouth, who are expected to claim the win here.

Both teams have scored in three of Bournemouth's last four home matches and with all three fixtures producing over 2.5 goals, a similar pattern is expected here.
