Bournemouth and Manchester United meet in the Premier League on Sunday, April 27th, at 2pm (UK time). The match will be broadcast live in the United Kingdom on Sky Sports Main Event.
Bournemouth to Win (8/11 with Paddy Power)
Bournemouth sit eighth in the table and have kept back-to-back clean sheets. In contrast, Manchester United appear to have shifted their focus away from domestic competition, prioritising their European campaign instead.
Given United’s apparent lack of attacking sharpness and their divided attention, Bournemouth have a strong opportunity to capitalise and potentially secure a full three points in this encounter.
Justin Kluivert anytime goalscorer (9/4 with BetMGM)
Justin Kluivert has scored in each of his last two meetings with Manchester United, while the Dutchman is the Cherries’ top Premier League scorer this season with 12 goals. I can see the hosts scoring on numerous occasions on Sunday and at the current prices, Kluivert looks like the best bet.
How both teams go into Bournemouth vs Man Utd
Bournemouth’s hopes of playing European football are still alive and well and heading into the weekend, they sit eighth in the table. The Cherries could not get the better of 10-man Crystal Palace last weekend as the pair played out a goalless draw, but the hosts are well fancied to come out on top on Sunday.
Things continue to look bleak for Manchester United, who remain 14th in the table on just 38 points from 33 games following defeats to Newcastle and most recently, Wolves. The last hope of a successful season for the Red Devils lies in the form of the Europa League, and they are likely to rotate heavily here/
Bournemouth team news
Ryan Christie and Enes Unal are out long term, but Bournemouth will hope to have Justin Kluivert, Luis Sinisterra and Marcus Tavernier all back in time for this match.
Man Utd team news
Amad Diallo and Lisandro Martinez are out for the season, while Joshua Zirkzee’s availability for this match remains doubtful. Matthijs de Ligt, Jonny Evans and Toby Collyer should all be back fit.
Bournemouth vs Man Utd head-to-head
As mentioned, Bournemouth are unbeaten in their last three meetings with Man Utd, following a three-game unbeaten streak for the Red Devils.
