LiontipsManchester United vs Bournemouth. Prediction and bets on the English Premier League match
Command Analysis
Current form
Manchester United had two good matches against Viktoria Plzen in the Europa League and Manchester City in the Premier League, winning with the same score of 2:1. They failed to build on their success, as they then lost to Tottenham in the quarter-finals of the League Cup (3:4) in a bright game in London. Both opponents made many mistakes in defense in that match, and the attack was still stronger for the Spurs. It should be noted that Amorim continues to experiment with the lineup, in the cup game they gave some leaders a rest, including Onana, who did not play in goal. In the Premier League standings, the Red Devils are in 13th place on the eve of Sunday matches, with 22 points in their assets. The gap from the Eurocup zone is five points.
Disqualifications and injuries
Mount, Shaw and Lindelof are all out today due to injury.

8.40Tip and bets
In the cup game against Tottenham, Amorim did not use the main squad in full, the bet was clearly on the upcoming game in the championship against Bournemouth. In general, Manchester United’s game has shown progress, even if the new coach did not manage to take the team to a new level right away. At home, the Red Devils have won three of their last five matches in the Premier League and are quite capable of achieving success today.
Our prediction is Manchester United to win at odds of 1.85
Bet on total
With Amorim as head coach, Manchester United has noticeably improved in attack, plays more boldly, and has consistently scored at least two goals in the last four matches. However, it was not possible to immediately stabilize the game in defense, and it is unlikely that they will be able to achieve a "dry" victory today. We expect at least three goals in the upcoming match.
The second bet is total over 2.5 goals with odds of 1.65
Bet on the first half
Manchester United are far from the best in the opening periods. In 10 of the last 12 Premier League matches, the Red Devils have not won in the first half. Based on these statistics, we recommend another option for betting.
Prediction - Bournemouth will not lose in the first half with a coefficient of 1.59
