Whether it’s a goalscorer angle, a BTTS trend, or a high-priced underdog, each tip is backed by research and reasoning to help you bet smarter.

Why We’re Backing Man United to Win to Nil @ 29/10 with BetVictor

  • Manchester United have accumulated 13 points in their first seven fixtures on home soil, but taken a point fewer from their eight visits to opposing venues.
  • Although they are the Premier League’s third-highest scorers, only 12 of the Red Devils’ 26 goals have been scored at Old Trafford. 
  • Bournemouth have found the net on 11 occasions in away contests, but eight of these goals came before October’s 2-0 home triumph over Nottingham Forest. 
  • The Dorset-based outfit have only managed to win once away all season, narrowly defeating Spurs in North London ahead of the first international break.

Why We’re Backing Over 3.5 Away Team Cards @ 5/2 with Paddy Power

  • No Premier League team has received more yellow cards than Bournemouth, with Turkish forward Enes Ünal picking up their 38th and most recent booking of the season against Everton.
  • That total equates to an average of over 2.5 yellow cards per match, while the Cherries are one of just ten Premier League sides to have received a red card this term. 
  • The last meeting produced these two opponents produced a substantial seven cards, with Bournemouth players accounting for the vast majority of transgressions. Tyler Adams, Dean Huijsen, Justin Kluivert, and Adam Smith were all booked, while Evanilson was shown a straight red card following a VAR intervention.

Manchester United Form/Stats

  • Manchester United have only been beaten once in their last nine Premier League outings, losing 1-0 to ten-man Everton at the end of last month.

Bournemouth Form/Stats

  • After a sensational start to the campaign, Bournemouth have lost four of their previous six matches and last celebrated a victory way back in October.

Player to Watch

Operating as Manchester United’s chief creative architect, Bruno Fernandes plays an instrumental role in his team’s success. 

The Portuguese midfielder has already six assists this season, which is more than any other Premier League player. He’s also created the highest number of chances (45) in the division, and completed a staggering 895 passes. 

Although best known for his exceptional attacking attributes, Bruno also likes to make a solid defensive contribution. The United skipper has won 69 duels, made 27 clearances, and delivered nine interceptions.

Man United vs Bournemouth Head-to-Head Record 

  • Almost exactly a year on from recording a shock 3-0 triumph to claim their first-ever win at Old Trafford, Bournemouth returned to the Theatre of Dreams last season to beat Manchester United by the same comprehensive scoreline.  
  • Despite heading into Monday night’s fixture as heavy favourites, Manchester United have failed to beat Bournemouth in each of their last four attempts.
