Bournemouth vs Manchester City: Match Preview and Prediction
Bournemouth vs Manchester City: In 14 encounters against Bournemouth, Manchester City won. Bournemouth has scored four or more goals in six of its last eight competitions. The Citizens won 11 and tied 1 in their previous 12 games in all competitions.
Manchester City travels to Vitality Stadium on Saturday afternoon as part of their hectic itinerary. In the race for the title, the Citizens will try to maintain their lead over Liverpool. After the unexpected 1-1 draw with Chelsea at Etihad Stadium last weekend, Pep Guardiola’s team is no longer in first place.
Seven days earlier, the Citizens produced multiple opportunities against the Blues. Thirty-one rounds were fired. However, Erling Haaland’s day was not to be. This time, Guardiola’s team cannot afford to make another mistake. Against Bournemouth, who have lost their last six games, they are heavy favorites.
The Cherries came close to stopping this dreadful run at St. James’ Park the previous Saturday. They led 2-1 until Newcastle United’s Matt Ritchie scored in stoppage time. Andoni Iraola’s club is 13th in the Premier League. Eight points separate them from Luton and Everton, keeping them out of the red zone.
