Premier League preview: Bournemouth vs Man Utd, Liverpool vs Spurs

Bournemouth vs Man Utd

Manchester United have failed to win any of their last four league matches, including a 1-0 home defeat to Wolves and a 4-1 loss at Newcastle. Punters are taking note, with 50% backing Bournemouth on the Double Chance market (X2) at 23/20. This reflects a growing trend of uncertainty around United’s consistency, particularly as Bournemouth sit 11 points ahead of them in the table and have lost just once in their last four outings.

Correct Score Appeal at 12/1

AFC Bournemouth’s last two visits to Old Trafford ended in 3-0 wins, and punters seem confident in the visitors again, with 79% backing a 1-2 correct score outcome at 12/1. While exact score bets are always tough to land, this market appears to be drawing heavy attention. Bournemouth have found the net in each of their last six away fixtures, including 2-goal performances against Tottenham, Chelsea, and West Ham.

Dango’s Hot Streak

Dango Ouattara is attracting major interest in the scorer market, with 97% backing him to find the net at 9/5. Bournemouth have scored in five of their last six matches, underlining why punters might see potential value in this price. Notably, they’ve netted five goals against Nottingham Forest and four against Newcastle in recent weeks, highlighting attacking strength on the road.

Fernandes Shots Market Draws Eyes

Another market gaining traction is Bruno Fernandes to register under 0.5 shots on target, with 75% backing this outcome at 59/50. While this doesn’t reflect any specific match data about Fernandes himself, Manchester United averaged 3.25 shots on target per game across their last four league outings. Some punters may view this stat as a factor worth considering in this Opta-settled market.

The Most-Backed Odds Among UK Punters

• Correct Score – 1-2 (12/1) – 79% backing Bournemouth to edge it.
• Double Chance – X2 (23/20) – 50% seeing Bournemouth avoiding defeat.
• Player’s shots on target – Under 0.5: Bruno Fernandes (59/50) – 75% backing limited output.
• To Score – Dango Ouattara (9/5) – 97% expecting a goal from Ouattara.

Liverpool vs Spurs

Liverpool have won five of their last six Premier League matches, including a 1-0 away victory over Leicester City and a dominant 2-1 result against West Ham at Anfield. The Reds’ consistency has kept them top of the table with 79 points from 33 games, while Tottenham arrive at Anfield after a poor run that includes a 2-1 home defeat to Nottingham Forest and six losses from their last eight away matches.

Unsurprisingly, 92% of punters are siding with Liverpool at 2/9 to win full-time, highlighting the strength of backing for the league leaders at Anfield. However, with odds this short, readers must judge for themselves whether there’s sufficient value.

Liverpool’s Dominance in the Head-to-Head

The Reds have had the upper hand in this fixture, winning three of their last four Premier League meetings with Spurs, including a 4-2 victory at Anfield in May 2024. Liverpool have consistently outshot Tottenham in these encounters, racking up 21 shots to Tottenham’s eight in that match, with 13 on target. Punters looking for more specific outcomes might see potential value in the Correct Score market, where 68% are backing a 3-1 Liverpool win at 15/2.

Salah Under the Spotlight

A notable share of bets are focused on Mohamed Salah in the card market, with 74% backing him to be booked at odds of 29/10. While the odds suggest it’s far from a certainty, this remains one of the more heavily backed player-related markets for this fixture. As with any card market, punters must decide if the price reflects sufficient risk-reward balance.

The Most-Backed Odds Among UK Punters

• Liverpool to win (2/9) – 92% backing Liverpool victory. Readers must decide if there’s sufficient value at this price.
• Correct Score: 3-1 (15/2) – 68% expecting a 3-1 scoreline for Liverpool.
• Mohamed Salah to be booked (29/10) – 74% backing Salah to receive a card.
