Bournemouth vs. Manchester United Betting Analysis
Bournemouth: Can Cherries End Home Campaign with Three Points?
After winning promotion from the EFL Championship last term, staying in the Premier League was the number one priority for Bournemouth this season. They have achieved that goal.
Scott Parker was sacked early on, with O’Neil initially arriving on an interim basis. The results improved under the new boss, and he was given the job on a permanent basis.
O’Neil has guided the Cherries to safety, with the club reaching 39 points with a 4-1 win over Leeds United last month.
Bournemouth will want to finish with two positive results. After hosting Man United this weekend, their season ends with a trip to Everton on the final day. Keep reading for our Bournemouth vs Manchester United prediction.
Manchester United: Victory Would Take Red Devils Closer to Champions League
Ten Hag’s reign as Man United manager got off to the worst possible start, as the Red Devils lost 2-1 at home to Brighton & Hove Albion and 4-0 at Brentford in their opening two games of the season. However, the Dutchman has since stamped his authority at Old Trafford.
Having already won the EFL Cup, Man United is looking for a cup double when they face rivals Manchester City at Wembley Stadium in the FA Cup final next month. Two trophies and a top-four place would be a sensational season for Ten Hag.
Liverpool’s form has got United looking over their shoulder, but a win here would ease the pressure. Man United has played one game less and is a point above their rivals.
This promises to be an entertaining matchup at the Vitality. Check out our Bournemouth vs Manchester United prediction and pick below.
