Manchester United return to Old Trafford on Monday night looking to build on their emphatic win at Wolves. They’ll face a Bournemouth side looking to get back among the goals in the English Premier League.
Both teams to score – United continue to score freely but rarely keep clean sheets, while Bournemouth have a habit of finding the net at Old Trafford.
Bruno Fernandes over 1.5 shots on target – Despite playing in a deeper position, Fernandes will get the opportunity to roam during a stretched game.
Manchester United to win – United arrive in strong form, while Bournemouth are stuck in a long winless run.
Man Utd ran out 4-1 winners at Molineux, with Bruno Fernandes pulling the strings and Mason Mount continuing his upturn in form. That result lifted United to sixth and capped a run of just one defeat in their last nine league games.
Confidence is growing, but defensive issues remain. United have managed only one clean sheet in the league all season, which keeps games open even when they are on top.
Fernandes remains central to their progress, contributing goals and assists at a remarkable rate, while Mount has started to look like a key part of Ruben Amorim’s plans.
Bournemouth arrive under pressure. The Cherries have gone six league games without a win and failed to score in their last two. Even so, they will take belief from recent trips to Old Trafford, having won 3-0 here in back-to-back seasons. A sharper edge in the final third is badly needed if they are to repeat that feat.
What are the best bets for Manchester United vs Bournemouth?
Both teams to score
United score regularly but leave gaps at the back. Bournemouth’s recent blanks are a concern, but they have caused United problems before and should get chances on the counter.
Bruno Fernandes over 1.5 shots on target
Fernandes leads the league for chances created and shoots often from good areas. Bournemouth’s style should present opportunities to bomb forward and test the keeper.
Manchester United to win
Momentum favours the hosts. United are climbing the table, while Bournemouth’s form has dipped sharply, making this a good spot for the home side to take control.
