Current Form – Red Devils Rising, Cherries Crumbling

Manchester United (8th – 25 points)

• Momentum building: Unbeaten in 3 (W2 D1), fresh off a dominant 4-1 at Wolves; just 1 loss in last 9 overall

• Home edge: Strong at Old Trafford lately, but vulnerable to counters (conceded in 6 straight)

• Attack clicking: 26 goals (1.7 per game), Bruno Fernandes pulling strings, Mbeumo (pre-AFCON swan song?) and Cunha threats

• Injury hits: De Ligt & Maguire out; makeshift defense with Heaven/Shaw
  
  

AFC Bournemouth (15th – 20 points)

• Slump city: Winless in 6 (D2 L4), goalless draw vs Chelsea last out; leaking on the road (3 straight away losses)

• Threat remains: Semenyo (pace monster), Evanilson leading line; press high but fragile at back (24 conceded)

• Squad news: Senesi fitness boost, but Christie doubtful

Head-to-Head: Bournemouth's Old Trafford Hex

Cherries unbeaten in last 4 vs United (W2 D2), including back-to-back 3-0 wins here – a nightmare for Reds fans. Overall, United lead 14-4-3, but recent games average 3.0 goals with over 2.5 in 60% and BTTS in last 4. Time for payback?

Tactical Breakdown

Amorim's 3-4-2-1 presses aggressively (Fernandes/Mount creativity), exploiting Bournemouth's high line with Mbeumo's runs. Set-pieces key amid defensive patches. Iraola's Cherries counter swiftly (Semenyo/Evanilson pace), but recent form shows fatigue – expect United's depth to overwhelm late.

The Killer Stat for United Win

United unbeaten in 8 of last 9; Bournemouth winless in 6 + lost last 3 aways. Reds cover handicap in 70% home vs mid-table sides.

Final Prediction

Manchester United 3–1 AFC Bournemouth

Mbeumo opens on the break, Fernandes assists Cunha, Semenyo consolation – but Bruno magic seals it. Hoodoo busted, United climb to top-6.
