Bournemouth to win

With their full focus trained on Thursday’s Europa League semi-final with Athletic Club, a heavily rotated Man Utd team should find the going tough against Bournemouth on the south coast.

Can Bournemouth inflict another defeat on Ruben Amorim’s Man United when the teams meet at the Vitality Stadium in England’s Premier League on Sunday, 27 April? Read our Premier League predictions for the clash below.

Bournemouth vs Man United prediction: Visitors could struggle with rotated team

Key Stats

  • Man Utd have lost three and drawn one of their last four Premier League fixtures.
  • Bournemouth have won two and drawn one of their last three meetings with Man Utd.
  • Justin Kluivert has scored in each of his last two appearances against Manchester United.
  • Man United have scored only one goal in their last four Premier League matches combined.

Correct score prediction: Bournemouth 2-0 Man United

Man Utd have failed to score in three of their last four league games and with Amorim set to field a heavily-rotated team at Bournemouth, an 11th loss-to-nil in the Premier League could be in the works.

Pre-game odds and win probability: United are clear underdogs

  • HOME: 4/6 (1.67) – 60%
  • DRAW: 3/1 (4.00) – 25%
  • AWAY: 7/2 (4.50) – 22.2%

*odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change

Bournemouth are unbeaten in three games and Sunday’s 4/6 favourites will fancy their chances of turning over a weakened Man Utd outfit on the south coast on Sunday.

Man United lost narrowly at home to Wolves (0-1) last time out and the toothless strugglers have just a 22.2% chance of turning their fortunes around at Bournemouth. Read more of our football predictions and Premier League analysis on our dedicated page.

Bournemouth preview: Three missing for hosts

Enes Unal, Ryan Christie and Luis Sinisterra are all confirmed injury absentees for Bournemouth. The Cherries are in eighth spot, though there is just a three-point gap to Crystal Palace in 12th and Bournemouth still have work to do to land a top-half finish.

Predicted lineup: Kepa (GK), Smith, Zabarnyi, Huijsen, Kerkez, Scott, Adams, Semenyo, Kluivert, Outtara, Evanilson

Man United preview: Expect United to rotate

A mix of injury issues and continental priorities should combine to force Amorim's hand on Sunday in terms of team selection, so expect a weakened Man Utd XI at Bournemouth. Harry Amass and Tyler Fredricson could start again, as could Christian Eriksen and Victor Lindelof.

Predicted lineup: Onana (GK), Yoro, Lindelof, Fredricson, Dalot, Ugarte, Eriksen, Amass, Mount, Garnacho, Hojlund

Player to watch – Antoine Semenyo

Antoine Semenyo has been an effective attacking force for Bournemouth this season and the 25-year-old is sitting on eight goals and four assists in the Premier League ahead of Sunday’s game.

Semenyo can be a nuisance

Semenyo racked up four attempts and scored one when Bournemouth cantered to victory at Old Trafford in December and the wide attacker – who has been linked with a move to Man Utd – could trouble the Red Devils’ backline in a similar way in Sunday’s rematch.
