AFC Bournemouth vs Manchester City prediction 2024-02-24
Manchester City will be aiming to stay in the title race when they take on Bournemouth on Matchday 26. The Citizens failed to impress in a 1-1 draw with Chelsea at the weekend, but they are still seen as hot favourites to win Saturday’s encounter. Bernardo Silva is pushing for a recall to the starting XI, while both Josko Guardiol and Jack Grealish remain in the treatment room.
The Cherries, on the other hand, failed to win the previous six league matches. As Bournemouth have been struggling at the back of late, we believe that there is a big value in betting on Pep Guardiola’s troops. Philip Billing has yet to serve his ban, while fellow midfielder Romain Faivre should recover in time to face the title holders. All James Hill, Max Aarons, Tyler Adams, and Ryan Fredericks are out of contention with injuries. You should know that Man City are eyeing their 15th consecutive win over Bournemouth in all competitions.
Prediction: 2-3 (Man City)
