Manchester United vs Bournemouth prediction and betting tips on December 9, 2023
In the 16th round of the English Premier League on December 9, 2023, Manchester United will host Bournemouth. The hosts were able to find their game and are probably only counting on victory in the game against a more modest opponent.
"Manchester United"
Thanks to success in recent matches, the team made a jump from the middle of the standings to sixth place. Now the Red Devils are only three points behind the place in the Champions League zone.
Last season they took fourth place and are probably setting themselves the minimum goal - reaching the main club tournament in Europe. If they continue in the same spirit, the task will be easily completed.
In the last round, Manchester United played at home against Chelsea and showed very decent football. This suggests that it will be extremely difficult for the guests in this meeting.
"Bournemouth"
Even at the start of the season, the Cherries were one of the main candidates for relegation from the elite of English football, but then they had a series of successful matches and now they occupy 15th place with 16 points. They are nine points ahead of the relegation zone, which is already a very impressive difference.
Speaking about the upcoming meeting, it can be noted that the guests will be happy to have a draw, but this is clearly not included in the “Red Devils” plan.
Match prediction
Manchester United have won 5 of their last 6 matches and I think there will be another victory here. I won’t invent a wheel and just take the home team’s victory at odds of 1.6.
