Eight games without a win. That’s where Manchester United found themselves not long ago, but they head to Bournemouth’s Vitality Stadium with something approaching momentum – three unbeaten and a spring in their step. Bournemouth, meanwhile, are winless in four (D D D D) but hard to beat at home. This one’s closer than the table suggests.
Predicted XIs from the Statz H2H page:
Bournemouth (4-2-3-1): Petrovic; Truffert, Senesi, Hill, Smith; Scott, Christie; Rayan, Tavernier, Jimenez; Evanilson
Man Utd (4-2-3-1): Lammers; Shaw, Maguire, Yoro, Dalot; Mainoo, Casemiro; Cunha, Fernandes, Mbeumo; Sesko
Alex Scott has been Bournemouth’s most productive midfielder recently – 4 assists and 2 shots on target in his last 5 games. Alvaro Jimenez leads the line with 2 goals in 5 and draws contact – 3 fouls committed against him in that span.
For United, Bryan Mbeumo is the danger man – 4 shots on target in his last 5, the highest in the Man Utd lineup. Casemiro has contributed a goal, an assist and 4 shots in that period. Mattheus Cunha adds 3 assists in 5 from the No.10 role.
Bournemouth form: W D D D D. Man Utd: D W W L W. Check the full picture on the H2H stats page and Premier League projections.
Mbeumo 2+ shots on target is the standout – averaging well over 1 SOT per game in his last 5. Pair with Casemiro to be carded (15 fouls in last 10, tops in the United chart) for a strong builder.
Alex Scott 1+ fouls committed is another layer – 15 committed in last 10 games, top of Bournemouth’s chart per the Statz H2H data. Build your combination on the Statz Bet Builder Tool.
United have the quality to nick this but Bournemouth at home are hard to beat. A narrow Man Utd win or draw feels right. Mbeumo 2+ shots on target is the value prop regardless of result.
