Manchester United - AFC Bournemouth predictions

Manchester United should not have bigger problems running away with three points in this match if they stick to their game plan. However, AFC Bournemouth can be a tough nut to crack and the home side need to be on top of their game.

At 3.92 betting odds, an away win would be a huge surprise and we’re positive Bournemouth are well aware of it themselves.

The home team are here after a decisive victory at Wolverhampton Wanderers. The win itself wasn’t all that surprising – most bookies and Premier League betting predictions saw it coming despite the home-field disadvantage and rather mediocre performance during the first half.

AFC Bournemouth were the 2.18 underdogs in their previous Premier League matchup, despite facing Chelsea on home ground. Still, their fans weren’t as disappointed as most predictions expected them to be. Records show that the match turned out to be an HT/FT draw – a success for AFC Bournemouth considering the lopsided odds.

The home team gives their opponents plenty of reasons to worry about the upcoming fixture. They’re on something of a streak with 5 goals scored over the last 3 matches.

The Cherries fans have a lot of cause for concern – with 10 concessions in their latest 3 away games, their track record seems to indicate a tendency to underperform in away games.

As we move into round 16 of this year’s Premier League, the home team are near the peak of the current standings. This match offers a good shot to build up even more points, maybe even for a shot at the title.

AFC Bournemouth’s position as 13th in the standings is neither here nor there, but it’s also far from set in stone. There’s half of the season to look forward to – though betting predictions are rather pessimistic about their chances going forward.

Taking a quick at the recent history of these two teams and their clashes, the line between favourites and underdogs becomes a bit blurred. Manchester United lost one of these games last season with a painfully large goal difference, yet they’re widely regarded as the favourites to win the match on Monday.

Both teams will be able to field their strongest lineups this Monday, with no injuries or suspensions to worry about.

Over 2.5 Goals is easily the safest bet when it comes to this matchup. The best part is that it also maintains a decent betting value, especially if you use the 1.56 odds offered at Pncl.
