Bournemouth vs Sheffield Utd Prediction & Betting tips
Sheffield United starts the new season with an away game at AFC Bournemouth. It will be a particularly special game for Sheffield United striker Lys Mousset, as the French attacker left Bournemouth this summer after three years to play soccer for Sheffield United.
AFC Bournemouth:
AFC Bournemouth is entering the fifth season at the highest level. In the first season after the 2015 promotion, Bournemouth was still struggling in the Premier League and the club finished in 16th place. The last three seasons (ninth, twelfth and fourteenth place), they have never had to worry about a relegation at Bournemouth. It cannot be but that this is largely due to manager Eddie Howe, who, after returning to Bournemouth in 2012, has only performed well with The Cherries.
Howe is well supported in this by Russian owner Maxim Demin, because even during this transfer period they did not return much to Bournemouth. Unlike the English transfer period, the transfer market in Italy, Spain, France and Germany will close in a few weeks, but it is not expected that many players will leave Bournemouth. In addition, Bournemouth did not lose any key players, while The Cherries brought in three potential basic players with the acquisition of Arnaut Danjuma (Club Brugge), Philip Billing (Huddersfield Town), Lloyd Kelly (Bristol City) and Liverpool-based Harry Wilson. added a selection. At the bottom of the line, Bournemouth seems to have only improved in terms of quality in recent times. The only problem with Bournemouth is that the club – just like the end of the previous season – has to deal with a laundry list of injuries.
Sheffield United:
With Sheffield United, a great club has returned to the very highest level. If you speak to an Englishman on the street, he will always say that football was invented in England and that there is no country where the game is so important to the residents as it is in England. With Bramall Lane, England has the oldest paid football stadium in its ranks and PhD student Sheffield United has his games played in that stadium. For that reason alone, Sheffield United is already an asset to the Premier League.
Sheffield United will of course not play in the Premier League this season because the stadium is so special. No, Sheffield United was fully promoted last season as number two of the Championship to the Premier League. Despite five points behind champion Norwich City, The Blades had six points more than number three Leeds United after 46 games. At Sheffield United they have managed to keep the team together fairly well, in addition the club has Oliver McBurnie (Swansea City), Lys Mousset (AFC Bournemouth), Callum Robinson (Preston North End), Luke Freeman (Queens Park Rangers), Ben Osborn (Nottingham Forest) and Phil Jagielka (Everton) achieved a lot of reinforcements. Where Mousset may be playing against his old team on Saturday afternoon, sheffield United will mainly look at the 36-year-old Jagielka, who played more than 250 duels in the jersey of Sheffield United before switching to Everton.
