Our call

We looked at this match and did not find a call worth making. That can change as team news comes in: calls are looked at again every fifteen minutes until kick-off, so one can change or come down, and each closes when the match starts. the bet slip stays exactly as posted.

Passing on Manchester United v Bournemouth. There is a likely outcome here, but every bookmaker has it shorter than it deserves, so there is nothing to take.

Preview

Everything underneath the results points to Bournemouth. Bournemouth are trending up: in their last four games they have made clearly better chances than in the games before. On top of that, they have conceded 12 in their last ten from chances that would usually cost about 8. They have been punished for very little. Meanwhile, Manchester United are trending down: their last four games have been their poorest for the chances they make and allow. This is where it is decided: Bournemouth make the better chances almost every week, and Manchester United have been out-created in most of their recent games.
