Manchester City vs Bournemouth

Manchester City host Bournemouth in an English Premier League fixture, with both teams looking to maintain their pursuit of the leaders.

The Citizens are showing flashes of their old quality and have looked sharp on home soil lately. They should have the edge over the Cherries, who are unconvincing on their travels.

Manchester City News

Manchester City will take the positives from their campaign, having picked up five wins from June matches to sit fifth in the table, six points off the pace. They were beaten 1-0 at Aston Villa last time out in the Premier League but bounced back in the EFL Cup, with a 3-1 victory at Swansea City.

The Citizens’ overall form has been quality solid lately, having gone unbeaten in nine of their last 10 matches across all competitions, picking up seven wins on this run. Things have also been pretty smooth at the Etihad for Pep Guardiola's team, who have won their last four home matches.

One of the positives for Manchester City is the form of Erling Haaland, who is looking sharp this season and is already on 11 Premier League goals. The striker leads the attack for the hosts, who have seen over 2.5 goals in two of their last three home matches in the league.

Bournemouth News

Bournemouth continue to impress in the Premier League this season and have picked up five wins from their nine matches so far. They are up to second in the table after claiming a 2-0 home victory over Nottingham Forest in their previous fixture.

However, for all their fine showings this season, Bournemouth have been a bit unconvincing on their travels. They are winless in three of their four Premier League away matches and threw away a two-goal lead to play out a 3-3 draw at Crystal Palace last time out on the road.

That result at Selhurst Park highlights a familiar pattern for Bournemouth, who often score and concede on their travels. Three of their four away matches have produced over 2.5 goals.

Head to Head

Manchester City have only lost once in this fixture, picking up 17 wins from 18 matches against Bournemouth. The Citizens claimed a 3-1 home victory in the last meeting back in May.

Verdict

Man City v Bournemouth

Bournemouth have impressed this season, but still need some improvement on their travels, while their record against Manchester City remains poor. Meanwhile, the Citizens have won their last four home matches and should claim the upper hand here.

Haaland has looked almost unstoppable this season and could be backed to add to his 11 Premier League goals. With four of the last five matches between both teams producing over 2.5 goals, a similar outcome could be considered.
