Manchester United vs Bournemouth Prediction – Premier League Prediction & Betting Tips 22/12/2024
Manchester United vs Bournemouth Premier League Prediction Match Details
The Sunday Premier League action continues with Manchester United set to host Bournemouth at the Old Trafford Stadium. Can Ruben Amorim’s men build on their impressive derby win to make it two wins in a row in the league for the first time this season?
Manchester United Preview & Form
Manchester United continues to experience inconsistency in form this season despite already changing their head coach. Last weekend, Ruben Amorim’s men staged a remarkable comeback by coming from a goal down to beat the defending champions Manchester City 2-1 at the Etihad Stadium, only for the Red Devils to bow out of the Carabao Cup on Thursday evening by suffering a 4-3 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur away from home. Ruben will now head back to the league as his team is in search of their seventh win of the season. The Red Devils are currently 13th in the league with 22 points and are only six points away from the top four.
Ruben Amorim also has a taste of his first home league defeat, with Nottingham Forest inflicting a 3-2 defeat in United’s last home game, and he will be hoping to see his side can avoid back-to-back defeats for the first time since December. Before that defeat, United produced a brilliant result in Ruben’s first home game by beating Everton 4-0 at Old Trafford. The defeat against Forest ended their seven-match unbeaten run across all competitions.
Bournemouth Preview & Form
Bournemouth has produced some remarkable form since the appointment of Andoni Iraola as the Cherries head coach, with his side seen as a great contender for a top-six finish this season. The Cherries will draw confidence, having already beaten two Premier League title contenders, Arsenal and Manchester City, and Tottenham, earlier this season. Andoni Iraola’s men will head to Old Trafford with huge confidence, having remained unbeaten in each of their last four league games, where they recorded three consecutive victories and a draw in their last match. The Cherries had to rescue a point against West Ham United last weekend with a late and stunning free-kick scored by Enes Unal at the Vitality Stadium. Their incredible run of form sees them heading to this fixture, sitting sixth in the league standings with 25 points, three points outside of the top four.
Andoni Iraola’s men ended their four-match winless run in the league by beating both relegation-threatened Wolves and Ipswich Town in their last two away games. The Cherries will feel confident coming into this game, having beaten Manchester United 3-0 at Old Trafford last season to end their long-awaited dream of winning at the stadium.
