Bournemouth is heading dangerously toward relegation in the English Premier League. With seven matches to play, they have a record of 7-6-18, good for 27 points. They are currently tied with West Ham United and Aston Villa and a point behind Watford, so they have the possibility to escape relegation, but Saturday’s match makes that tough as they head to Old Trafford to take on Manchester United. The Red Devils are currently in fifth place in the EPL table, tied with Wolves with 52 points. However, they are only three points behind Leicester City, currently in third, which means that moving into UEFA Champions League qualification is a distinct possibility. Let’s see how the Premier League Odds will be for the Bournemouth vs United.

Why should you put your money on Bournemouth?
Bournemouth last played on Wednesday, visiting the Wolverhampton Wolves. The game was a grind, going into halftime scoreless. Wolves got the lone goal of the game in the 60th minute, when Raul Jimenez delivered enough scoring for Wolves to roll out of the stadium with all three points.
Bournemouth only possessed for 45 percent of the match and only mustered two shots, none on target, while Wolves pumped out 11 shots, getting three on frame. The match featured 23 fouls and six yellow cards (three per side), as Bournemouth attempted to turn the game into more of an ugly march than anything else. Eventually, the attempt to get Wolves off the field without scoring failed, and Bournemouth failed even to get a point out of the situation. If Bournemouth couldn’t muster much offense against Wolves, it’s hard to see them doing much better against the Red Devils.
Why should you bet on Manchester United?
Manchester United went to Brighton and delivered a 3-0 whipping, which was the proper outcome given Brighton’s close proximity to relegation. It did not take long for the Red Devils to get the scoring going, as Mason Greenwood tallied in the 16th minute. Thirteen minutes later, Bruno Fernandes doubled the Man U advantage. Five minutes after halftime, Fernandes finished his brace, scoring in the 50th minute.
The Red Devils possessed for 62 percent of the match and outshot Brighton, 12-7 (6-2 on target). The game did not feature a lot of physicality, with just 19 combined fouls and one yellow card (given to Man U). Brighton did not offer much in the way of resistance, as Manchester United took charge in the beginning and did not let up. If you like Man U on Saturday, you see them maintaining similar focus against another lower-tier team in the EPL as they focus their play on Champions League qualification.
Bournemouth vs United Final Score Prediction
Bournemouth does visit Newcastle United on Wednesday, so you would do well to take a look at that outcome before committing to your wagers, particularly with respect to injury, or seeing if Bournemouth’s offense comes to life. Manchester United looked more than ready to play against Brighton and should hit the pitch just as ready against Bournemouth. I predict a big Red Devil victory — by a 4-0 margin.
