Manchester United v Bournemouth Betting Tips – Premier League 13th December 8.00pm
The Red Devils will be looking to snap straight back to winning ways after their disappointment in the Manchester derby on the weekend where they lost 2-1 against Man City. The Red Devils are now 11 points behind the league leaders and perhaps with too much ground to make up in the title race. Bournemouth have gone winless in their last four league games now but they have managed to stay undefeated in their last four away games in the top flight.
Manchester United News and Form
Manchester United will be looking to snap straight back from their loss to Manchester City on the weekend. Jose Mourinho said that City pretty much have the title but there is still a top four place to secure for the Red Devils to work at. They kick off in second place still and the defeat against the Citizens was the first time that United had failed to win a league home game this season. They have only shipped the three goals at home all season long as well and Manchester United to win to nil at Betfair is still going to roll up with a lot of value. United are W7 L1 then from their eight home fixtures so far this season and they have averaged 2.6 goals per game on home soil. There are decent prices in the Betfair correct score market taking that into consideration then as a Manchester United 2-0 is a price of 6/1 while a 1-0 for them is at 15/2. Two thirds of United’s home goal have cropped up in the second half of matches and Romelu Lukaku is their top scorer at Old Trafford with five goals there. He is the first goalscorer favourite in the match at 12/5. Take that high pressure loss against man City out of the equation and Manchester United have been powerful at home and they still boast the joint-best defensive record in the Premier League this season. With them having scored in all of their home games so far they are expected to be comfortable in this one.
Bournemouth News and Form
Bournemouth have taken just the one loss in their six Premier League games in the Premier League and they have strung together a four match undefeated streak of form on the road with a W2 D2 record. They collected a point out at Crystal Palace on the weekend, dodging a bullet with Palace missing a late penalty. Bournemouth are D3 L1 in their last four games overall home and away and out on their travels this term Eddie Howe’s men have a W2 D2 L4 return this season. It may be worth just a little flutter on the half time draw as Bournemouth have been tied at the break in five of their eight away games and remember that the bulk of United’s home goals have been after the break as well. Bournemouth have only netted the six away goals so far this season and probably won’t trouble United too much. Can they get a clean sheet out of the fixture though? Under 2.5 goals at Betfair would back up them keeping things tight at Old Trafford. Only one Bournemouth player has scored more than one away goal this season and that is Jermain Defoe who is an 11/1 option, the same price as Callum Wilson, in the anytime goalscorer market.
Manchester United v Bournemouth Head to Head
The two of these played out a 1-1 draw at Old Trafford last season which was a surprise point for the Cherries.

United are W1 D1 at Old Trafford against the Cherries in the EPL. From the overall head to head between them across all competitions, United are 7-2 up with three drawn games.
