Bournemouth vs Manchester United Predictions

Bournemouth vs Manchester United stats: key insights

• Bournemouth are expected to continue their European tour with a win on Sunday.Opta supercomputerGiving them a 54.9% chance to win.
• The Cherries are unbeaten in their last three Premier League games against Manchester United (W2 D1).
• United have failed to score in 13 different Premier League matches this season, recording more shutouts only in 1989-90 (16).

Bournemouth still have something to contend with in the Premier League this season and they are within touching distance as they welcome Manchester United to the Vitality Stadium.

The race for a Champions League spot is tight, but Bournemouth still have a chance of securing a place in other European competitions as they are ahead of the rest of the chasing pack.

Their frustrating 0-0 draw with Crystal Palace last weekend took them to 49 points in the Premier League this season, their highest tally in the Premier League, surpassing their 48 points from the 2023-24 season.

If they avoid a loss on Sunday, they could become the 40th different team to reach 50+ points in a game, with the last team to reach that number for the first time being Brentford (59) in the 2022-23 season.

Bournemouth have bounced back from stumbles in February and March, thanks in part to their strong defense in recent weeks.

They are looking to keep three consecutive clean sheets in the Premier League for the first time since November 2019, with the third coming in a 1-0 home win over Manchester United.

The Cherries have not looked back in their encounters with United over the past couple of seasons and are looking to become the sixth team to complete a league double over the Red Devils this season after a comprehensive 3-0 victory at Old Trafford in December.

If they manage to do so, it will be the most league doubles against United in a single season since the 1933-34 season (6) and the most in the top flight since the 1930-31 season (9).

Things are looking rather bleak for Ruben Amorim's side in the Premier League as their last 0-1 loss to Wolves was their 15th defeat of the season in the top flight - the most they have ever lost in a single season in the Premier League.

Their profligacy was once again evident in that game, as they finished with 12 shots but only two on target. United have failed to score in 13 different Premier League games this season, with only Leicester City (15) and Everton (14) scoring more. The last time they failed to score in more league games in a single season was in the 1989-90 season (16 games).

However, there is still a bright spark to the season with a UEFA Cup semi-final against Athletic Club on the horizon, meaning Amorim has the option of keeping his side afloat given their league position (14th).

Even if Amorim does opt to rotate, Bruno Fernandez will have a likely starter who has proven himself to be an impact player for them in the 2024-25 season.

Only Cole Palmer (78) has created more chances in the Premier League this season than he has (77), and he also has nine assists this season.
