Bournemouth host Sheffield United in the Premier League on Saturday, March 9, 2024.

Ahead of the game, Paul Merson has shared his prediction on Sportskeeda. According to Merson, the game will end in the Cherries 3-0 win over Sheffield.

“I don’t know where to start with Sheffield United. If you’re a Sheffield United fan, you have to be one of the most loyal human beings in the world to make the four-hour trip to the Vitality Stadium for this one, that’s all I’ll say!” Merson wrote.

“They’ve been all over the place and the way they lose football matches is not good enough. It also makes me think just how bad Derby County were when they finished a Premier League season with 11 points – they must have been some team, my god!

“If Bournemouth win this, they are probably safe and can breathe a lot easier between now and the end of the season. I can’t see anything but a home win and I think they’ll do so quite comfortably.”

Currently, Bournemouth are 13th in the league table, while Sheffield are 20th.
