Bournemouth vs Manchester Utd Prediction & Tips
Frustration persists at Bournemouth despite their impressive run of ten league games without a loss (4 wins, 6 draws), as they have drawn their last four matches, three of them goalless. Manager Andoni Iraola acknowledged that his team “lacks” cutting edge in attack following last weekend’s draw against Burnley (0-0), and the Cherries may feel they have let several opportunities slip away to climb the table in recent weeks, considering they are just seven points out of the top six. They have the chance to make up ground here, riding a five-game unbeaten streak at Vitality Stadium (2 wins, 3 draws), though the last three ended in draws, marking Bournemouth’s longest streak of consecutive home draws in the Premier League.
Manchester United has responded perfectly to its first defeat under Michael Carrick, beating a direct rival in Aston Villa 3-1 on Sunday and establishing a five-point lead over fifth-place Liverpool. With all their rivals for a UEFA Champions League spot competing on at least two fronts, the fact that the Red Devils are focused solely on the league has worked in their favor, as this will be their last match in over three weeks. United travel to the south coast having lost just two of their last twelve away games (5 wins, 5 draws), though one of those defeats came on their last visit to Newcastle (2-1), and they have won only two of their six Premier League matches played away on a Friday (2 draws, 2 losses).
