The ever-improving Manchester United welcome Bournemouth at home. It is evident that the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo from the club did not bring too many problems to the team and it really seems as if they were under a huge burden while he was in the team. After the World Cup ended, Manchester played three games in which they recorded all three victories, with a great defensive performance that did not allow the opponents to score a single goal. Although the last two league games were not against teams from the upper part of the table, neither is Bournemouth, Manchester recently had a lot of problems with "small" games in which they lost points. It is the games against such clubs that are necessary for this team to regain the necessary self-confidence and to continue its rise in the table. They are currently in a very good 4th position in the table, just 4 points behind city rivals Manchester City who are in second place. I'm pretty sure that most of the fans before the start of the season would have accepted this development of the situation after several turbulent seasons. The great news for all United fans is that Marcus Rashford has finally found his form and is currently the team's best player. With a goal against Wolverhampton, he brought his team victory, while his second goal in that match was disallowed. He is currently on a streak of 3 goals in 3 games and I think he will be the biggest threat to the visitors' goal today. Even though they played in a changed defensive line-up, United performed excellently and did not conceded a goal in three matches. Now that defense could be even better because there are indications that Lisandro Martinez could also be in the team. Having won four of their last five league outings with just one loss in their last nine games, Ten Haag's side seems to finally be responding to the former Ajax manager's tactical instructions.

Unlike United, Bournemouth have had a lot of problems lately. During the World Cup, they did not play a single friendly match and it seems that the results they recorded in the last three games are the result of that. They lost to Newcastle in the cup, and in the league they suffered two defeats against Chelsea and Crystal Palace. They did not score a goal in any of those three matches and that is certainly worrying before a match with this kind of defense of Manchester United. Bournemouth's form is in obvious decline and they arrive at Old Trafford having lost six of their last seven league matches. According to the number of goals conceded, they are the worst team in the league, on average they concede slightly more than two goals per match. That statistic is even worse if we look at away matches only, where they conceded as many as 26 goals in 8 games played, which is by far the worst in the league. For the last 7 matches, Bournemouth is playing without its first goalkeeper Neto (which will be the case in this match as well) and it seems that the reserve goalkeeper Travers does not have enough quality to replace him. Conceding 26 goals on their travels, it´s hard to see Bournemouth having enough defensive strength to return home with a positive result, and having conceded at least two goals in all five away losses this season, I expect Manchester United to claim the points with a comfortable victory, where covering the handicap should prove more than achievable.

不断进步的曼联在主场欢迎伯恩茅斯。很明显，c罗离开俱乐部并没有给球队带来太多的问题，他在球队的时候，球队似乎承受了巨大的负担。世界杯结束后，曼彻斯特队在三场比赛中都取得了三场胜利，他们出色的防守表现没有让对手进一球。虽然最近两场联赛的对手都不是排名靠前的球队，伯恩茅斯也不是，但曼彻斯特最近在“小”比赛中出现了很多丢分的问题。对阵这些俱乐部的比赛是球队重拾自信和继续在积分榜上上升所必需的。他们目前在积分榜上排名第四，仅比排名第二的同城死敌曼城少4分。我很确定大多数球迷在赛季开始前就已经接受了经过几个动荡的赛季之后的形势发展。对于所有曼联球迷来说，好消息是马库斯·拉什福德终于找到了他的状态，目前他是球队最好的球员。在对阵狼队的比赛中，他的进球为球队带来了胜利，而他在那场比赛中的第二个进球被判无效。他目前在3场比赛中连续打进3球，我认为他将是今天客队进球的最大威胁。尽管他们换上了新的防守阵容，但曼联表现出色，在三场比赛中一球未失。现在防守可能会更好，因为有迹象表明利桑德罗·马丁内斯也可能在球队中。在过去的5场联赛中赢了4场，在过去的9场比赛中只输了一场，哈格的球队似乎终于对前阿贾克斯主教练的战术指示做出了回应。

不像曼联，伯恩茅斯最近有很多问题。在世界杯期间，他们没有踢过一场友谊赛，似乎他们在最近三场比赛中取得的成绩就是这样的结果。他们在杯赛中输给了纽卡斯尔，在联赛中又输给了切尔西和水晶宫。他们在这三场比赛中一球未进，面对曼联这样的防守，这当然令人担忧。伯恩茅斯的状态明显下降，他们在过去7场联赛中输掉了6场。从丢球数来看，他们是联赛中最差的球队，平均每场丢球2个多一点。如果我们只看客场比赛，这个数据就更糟了，他们在8场比赛中丢了26个球，这是目前为止联赛中最糟糕的。在过去的7场比赛中，伯恩茅斯没有了第一门将内托(这场比赛也将如此)，替补门将特拉弗斯似乎没有足够的能力来取代他。在旅途中丢了26个球，伯恩茅斯很难有足够的防守力量带着积极的结果回到主场，而且本赛季在所有五场客场输球中至少丢了两个球，我预计曼联将以一场轻松的胜利获得积分，在这场胜利中，弥补障碍应该是可以实现的。
