These two teams last met in 2013. This game was won by Sheffield United. In fact, Sheffield United is 4-0 against Bournemouth in their last 4 matches.
Sheffield United
Newly promoted Sheffield United will make their way to the Premier League to test their luck against the top tier teams. Last season, they finished second in the EFL Championship. They had 89 points in the table and were five points behind first place, Norwich City.

Sheffield was able to score 78 goals in the second division of English soccer. They were led by Billy Sharp, who scored 23 goals in 40 games in the English League Championship. They are certainly going to need his talents to transfer over to the EPL if they are going to last for more than one season.
The defending was great for Sheffield last season. They allowed 41 goals in 46 games. Now can it transfer to the Premier League is the question. There are sure to be some early nerves playing in a bigger environment, so it is quite possible for Sheffield to concede at least once.
AFC Bournemouth
Bournemouth finished 14th in the table last year, meaning they get to stick around for at least another year. Improving on a 13 win season last year is very doable, but they need to get off to a fast start. Taking advantage of a newly promoted side could be just what they need to gain some early confidence.

AFC was able to score quite a few goals last season. They had 56 in total, which believe it or not was 7th best in the league. Callum Wilson was the leading scorer with 14 goals. Joshua King was right behind him with 12. Then they had a few guys with 7 each. They will need balanced scoring once again if they want to improve.
Despite having a decent attack, their defending is where most of their issues were. They allowed 70 goals in total. This was ranked near the bottom of the league. They will get an easier test to start the season, but must defend better or they will find themselves near the bottom of the league again.
