Iraola Andoni’s men are currently favourites, which may come as a surprise to some. The Red Devils have been consistently poor across the entire campaign. Erik ten Hag’s side is 6th. They have a negative goal difference and are incredibly vulnerable defensively.
Bournemouth vs Man United Tips
Premier League encounters at this venue are averaging large amounts of corner kicks. A whopping 204 have been taken in 16 matches here. The Cherries average 7.25 and have recorded six or more in 81% of outings. Bournemouth are an entertaining side and have recorded 9, 9, 11 and 10 corners in their previous four clashes here.
Manchester United are there for the taking let’s be honest. Erik ten Hag’s side have shipped 136 corners in their 16 road trips, an average of 8.50 corners against. United have shipped at least four corners in every single away day, five or more in 81% and six plus in 69% of those 16 outings.
In Manchester United’s recent Premier League matches, they have conceded the following number of shots: Liverpool - 28, Chelsea - 28, Brentford - 31, Everton - 23, Man City - 27, Fulham - 17, Luton - 22, Villa - 23, West Ham - 22, Wolves - 16, Spurs - 16.
It’s a tremendously shocking record. These are numbers you’d associate with a team sitting in the relegation zone. The hosts should relish the chance of playing United at this stage. I expect them to have at least 16 shots on the south coast.
I find it almost impossible to trust Man United. Only Sheffield United and Luton have conceded a greater amount of xG. It’s a miracle that they're positioned where they are in the table. Bournemouth whooped them 3-0 at Old Trafford earlier in the campaign and a similar scoreline can’t be ruled out whatsoever.
The stats are well in our favour here, so it’s difficult not to take the higher lines given the odds. United have allowed 22 or more goal attempts in eight of their nine previous Premier League matches.
These are also the number of corners Man United have shipped in their nine previous matches: Liverpool – 11, Chelsea – 12, Brentford – 14, Everton – 8, Man City – 15, Fulham – 9, Luton – 8, Villa – 10, West Ham – 8.
The proposed selection has had an excellent win rate in recent weeks. Plenty of sides have had an enjoyable time when coming up against United. This bet has a fantastic chance. The odds should not be this high.
Dominic Solanke, Marcus Tavernier, Justin Kluivert and Antoine Semenyo will likely start on Saturday evening. The quartet are lively and will give their opponents a tough time.
Combining the shot and corner angle seems the best bet between these sides. This is also an enjoyable bet to cheer on.
