Bournemouth vs Sheffield Utd Prediction & Betting Tips (9 March)

Well placed in the middle of the ranking, Bournemouth is currently 13th in the Premier League and is 11 points ahead of the first relegated team. The Cherries are therefore in a very favorable position to avoid the descent. After having a string of good results between the beginning of November and the end of December, they experienced a less prosperous period. Last weekend, Bournemouth ended a bad series of 7 games without success, 3 draws and 4 defeats, by winning against relegated Burnley 0-2. In the FA Cup, Andoni Iraola's men have just been eliminated by Leicester at the round of 16 stage 0-1 after extra time. Not at all up to the level for their return to the elite, Sheffield United are dead last in Premier League and should have great difficulty avoiding the descent.

Indeed, the red lantern deplores a significant outlay of 11 points on the first non-relegation. On the tough side, the Blades have only pocketed one victory in the last 11 days, for 2 draws and 8 defeats. After winning at relegated Luton Town 1-3, they suffered 3 losses against Brighton 0-5, Wolverhampton 1-0 and Arsenal last Monday 0-6. Sheffield United do not appear to have the resources to escape relegation.

Bournemouth deplore the withdrawals of potentially starting defenders Senesi, Aarons and Hill as well as long-term absentees Adams and Fredericks. In addition, starters Christie and Solanke are announced as uncertain, as is defender Kelly. Both scorers on the last day, the restless Semenyo (5 goals in PL) and Kluivert (4 goals in PL) could start again this Saturday.

On the attacking front, takes place the essential Solanke (14 goals and 3 assists in PL), uncertain this weekend, while winter recruit Enes Unal (Getafe, 14 goals in La Liga last year) should sit on the bench again.
