Manchester United vs. Bournemouth Prediction & Odds: Premier League Betting Preview for Dec. 15

I'm backing the Red Devils to secure all three points on Monday at home against Bournemouth (3 p.m. ET, USA Network) in my Manchester United vs. Bournemouth prediction. 

United is the -120 betting favorite for the fixture at Old Trafford, and my Premier League best bets below feature a Bryan Mbeumo player prop after his superb performance in the previous game at Wolves.

Manchester United ML (-120) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

I'm on board with Manchester United exorcizing its Bournemouth demons and beating them for the first time in five tries. United played well last week, thrashing Wolves 4-1 on the road.

Don't worry, I'm not getting too worked up about Ruben Amorim's side dominating the Premier League's whipping boys, but the way in which they went about their business will fill them with confidence.

United is unbeaten in three, wth a more impressive 2-1 victory over Crystal Palace part of the mini-run. 

Bournemouth, meanwhile, are trending in the opposite direction, ensnared in a six-match winless streak. Their last win came at the end of October, a 2-0 win over relegation favorite Nottingham Forest. 

Those recent woes extend to their travels, where the Cherries have the fifth-worst record. Their only victory on enemy turf came against Tottenham, one of the Premier League's worst home teams. 

The odds for a United home win range from -120 to -125, with DraftKings, BetMGM, and bet365 offering the former. Those odds imply a win probability of 54.55%, and a winning $10 bet will profit $8.33.

Bryan Mbuemo vs. Bournemouth's defense 

I backed Mbuemo to score last week at Wolves, which he did. I'm expecting him to carry that momentum into Monday's match against a Bournemouth side he thrived against when he played for Brentford. 

He has two goals and three assists in the previous four meetings against the Cherries. That includes a goal or an assist in every game during that sample size. 

The odds for him to notch a goal or an assist at the best sports betting sites range from -110 to -139. bet365 offers the least value, and its -139 odds imply a 58.16% probability. FanDuel's -110 odds carry a 52.09% probability, and a winning $10 bet will profit $9.09. 

Best prop bet: Bryan Mbuemo anytime goal or assist (-110 via FanDuel)
