Recent form points in opposite directions
United have not won any of their last five matches, three drawn, two lost, and sit thirteenth with goal difference at zero. Bournemouth have won three of their last five and lost the other two, climbing to fifteenth despite a goal difference of minus four. A win for the home side would lift them to ten points from eight matches; Bournemouth would reach nine from eight with three points.
The market implies this as a narrow call: a United win at 47.4 per cent, Bournemouth at 26.7 per cent, a draw at 26.0 per cent. United travelled to Como in the Champions League earlier in the week.
Five meetings, twenty-two goals
The last five encounters between these sides have produced 22 goals in total. The most recent two both finished level, 2-2 and 4-4, while the three before that delivered a 4-1 United win, a 1-1 draw and a 3-0 Bournemouth victory. None of the five was settled by a single goal.
