Bournemouth vs. Manchester City Betting Odds and Info

Why bet on Bournemouth?

Bournemouth comes off a season where they avoided the threat of relegation, but so far, they haven’t shown signs of significant improvement, sitting in the middle of the table.

In their latest outing, they secured a valuable point against Aston Villa with a 1-1 draw. They were down 1-0 until the 90+6′ when Evanilson, stepping in for Dominic Solanke, scored the equalizer.

The Cherries currently sit in 11th place with 12 points, having won two of their last five Premier League matches.

Their offense has been modest, with 11 goals scored, while their defense has conceded the same number, indicating a team with uncertain prospects this season.

However, it’s worth noting that Bournemouth has won their last two home games, defeating both Southampton and Arsenal, so City shouldn’t take this game lightly.

Antoine Semenyo is their top scorer in the Premier League, with just three goals.

Bournemouth will be missing Tyler Adams and Alex Scott, with Colombian Luis Sinisterra also doubtful due to physical issues.

Why bet on Manchester City?

Manchester City is the reigning Premier League champion and carries the pressure of defending its title, and so far, they’re delivering, holding onto the top spot.

In their last match, Erling Haaland stepped up as the hero, scoring the lone goal in a narrow 1-0 victory over Southampton.A hard-fought win that saw the Citizens capitalize on the draw between Arsenal and Liverpool.

Pep Guardiola’s side sits on 23 points, one clear of Liverpool and five ahead of Arsenal. They boast the league’s best attack, with 20 goals scored, and have allowed just nine, reflecting their consistent high-level play.

A setback for City, however, is the season-ending injury to Rodri, theBallon d’Or winner, whose absence could be felt in tougher matches.

Haaland, unsurprisingly, leads the league’s scoring charts with 11 goals, three ahead of second-place Bryan Mbeumo from Brentford.

Away from home, City remains unbeaten, with three wins and a draw, the latter against Newcastle.

City has a dominant record over Bournemouth, winning their last 15 meetings.

Alongside Rodri, Kevin De Bruyne and Oscar Bobb are also sidelined due to injuries, with Kyle Walker’s availability in doubt due to illness.
