After a bit hurtful defeat from Manchester City last weekend Manchester United will host Bournemouth at their home ground, the team which is a middle-class team in the EPL. Bookmakers are on the future hosts side in this couple, Man Utd aren’t losing hope on fighting for the title of the strongest team in England despite the 11-point handicap, which is currently present between the two Mancunian teams.
Manchester United lost at Old Trafford last Sunday for the first time this season. Prior to that in the EPL, the Red Devils had seven victories within seven games in the English elite. Even despite the defeat in the derby, the handicap between Manchester United and Chelsea has been kept on a level of three points as Chelsea also lost in the 16th round of the EPL to West Ham with a score of 0:1.
The current season has started for Eddie Howe’s team not very successfully, the Cherries even spent some time in the relegation zone, but the future guests managed to rise in the table and are on the 14th position, three points away from West Ham. Bournemouth have had eight away matches within the EPL this season, in which they won twice, had a draw twice and lost four times.
Considering the fact, that Man Utd last weekend lost the derby, one can be sure, that the Red Devils will put all the efforts to defeat Bournemouth. The opponents are of different level and Man Utd play well at their home ground so it will be very hard for the Cherries to look decently beside one of the EPL leaders, moreover the upcoming game will be away for Howe’s men and everything isn’t right with away matches in the team.
Prediction for the match: Man Utd to win with -1.5 Asian handicap
