The Premier League clash at Old Trafford this coming Tuesday sees Manchester United hosting opponents Bournemouth. It was an enormously entertaining 5-2 match, when these two sides last played each other in the Premier League. A similar feast of goals would go down well on Tuesday.

The hosts are currently fourth in the Premier League standings with 32 points after 16 rounds. Bournemouth are trailing behind them on 16 points, which makes them 15th in the rankings ahead of their next game.

Aiming for a place inside the top six, Manchester United need to strut their stuff against Bournemouth on Tuesday. The latter might not look like a team currently possessing the qualities to stop the home side from claiming a win, but they will be eager to spring a surprise.

Manchester United average 1.6 goals per game in their last ten games, scoring 16 times. They conceded 12 goals or an average of 1.2 per game, with five clean sheets along the way.

Bournemouth hit the target 12 times in the last ten outings, which creates an average of 1.2 goals a game. They conceded 1.7 goals per match for a total of 17 goals, while claiming two clean sheets as well.

Manchester United vs Bournemouth Prediction

Manchester United Form

In their last three outings, Manchester United won 2-0 against Burnley, beat Nottingham Forest by 3-0 and hammered Wolverhampton 0-1. Manchester United won five of their last six Premier League matches at the Old Trafford, scoring 11 and conceding two along they way. They also drew once as they remained without defeat.

Bournemouth Form

Bournemouth endured a tough spell in their last three matches, from which they have nothing to show. They were beaten 1-0 by Newcastle, before Chelsea ran out 2-0 winners. A third defeat on the trot followed against Crystal Palace, who came out 0-2 winners. In their last six Premier League away matches, Bournemouth failed to win more than once. In stead, they've drawn two and lost three, scoring nine while also conceding 13 times.

While we don't believe Bournemouth are strong enough to prevent Manchester United from a home win, we believe they are capable of limiting the defeat to only a few goals.

Manchester United took 18 points from their last seven encounters with teams from the bottom half of the Premier League table. This amounts to six wins after scoring ten times and conceding four. Bournemouth scored five goals and conceded 24 in their last eight encounters with teams in the top half of the Premier League. This lead to zero wins and three points. Manchester United are looking at a record of ten wins, two draws and four defeats in the Premier League this season. Bournemouth show off four wins, four draws and nine defeats in the Premier League.
