Manchester Utd vs Bournemouth Prediction & Betting tips
On Sunday, 30.12.2018 Manchester United and Bournemouth finish the 20th round of the English Premier League. After the dismissal of Jose Mourinho, the Red Devils seem to be on the road to success again. Two convincing victories put her in sixth place in the table. Although the distance to a Champions League place is still a whole eight meters. But with 19 remaining games, the qualification for the premier class is definitely still possible.
Kick-off at the “Theater of Dreams” is on Sunday, at 16:30 German time.
Manchester United:
After the knockout of Jose Mourinho Ole Gunnar Solskjaer succeeded with the 5: 1 against Cardiff a very successful debut. The devotees of the Red Devils eagerly anticipated how his men would beat under his direction at Old Trafford. Ironically, the Boxing Day was just around the corner. For almost four decades, this is a matter for Manchester United. The pressure on Solksjaer’s shoulders was probably enormous. Because on that special day, Manchester United lost at home for the last time in the 1978/1979 season (0-3 against Liverpool FC). But the successful series withstood. The Red Devils won well deserved 3-1 against Huddersfield.
But not only that. Solskjaer knew how to convince in another statistic. Since World War II, only Matt Busby, Dave Sexton and Jose Mourinho have been able to win the first two games as Manchester United manager.
Thus, Manchester United is in sixth place. Despite the euphoria, the Achilles’ heel of the Red Devils remains the defense. Currently they are in the “table of least goals” only on the 14th place. Even in the last two matches Manchester United had to concede a goal. Since seven encounters now more waiting for a white vest.
In his third game as manager of Manchester United, Solskjaer will be without Marcos Rojo. Though presumably ready for action, Anthony Martial, Alexis Sanchez, Chris Smalling, and Scott McTomayay have a few question marks behind them.
Bournemouth:
As successful Manchester United last played, so was Bournemouth last swept by Tottenham Hotspurs with 0: 5 off the pitch. A total of three of the last four Premier League games and eight of the last ten competitive games lost to Bournemouth. In addition, the “Cherries” lost all four of the last four away matches and always conceded at least two goals.
Games involving Bournemouth often scored more than 2.5 goals. More than two goals have been scored in six of the last seven Premier League matches. But as mentioned earlier, the odds on this Manchester United Bournemouth “Over” tip are too small to bet profitably.
In summary, Bournemouth is still in eleventh place due to the relatively good season opener.
In the game against the Red Devils, Howe has to give up Adam Smith, Lewis Cook, Dan Gosling and Simon Francis, which does not make things easier against newly-fortified men from Manchester.
