Manchester United are flying high under caretaker manager Michael Carrick, as they travel south to face Bournemouth in what should be a highly entertaining match.
United are currently third in the Premier League table and look to conserve the status quo until the end of the campaign.
Despite improvement, my Man United vs. Bournemouth predictions and free betting picks expect plenty of goals in this March 20 fixture.
Premier League predictions for Bournemouth vs Manchester United
My Bournemouth vs Manchester United best bet: Over 2.5 (-189 at Sports Interaction)
The last time these two met, we got a 4-4 thriller at Old Trafford, and this matchup has been a goals factory, with five of the last six head-to-head meetings going Over 2.5.
Since taking over in January, Michael Carrick has United playing some of the best football in the league, leading in both wins and points over that span.
Bournemouth will have their moments, too, but their defense is an issue — they rank in the bottom six in goals allowed per game.
All signs point to another open, back-and-forth game.
