Manchester City vs Bournemouth Premier League
Prediction Match Details
Manchester City is set to resume Premier League action on Tuesday night as they host Bournemouth at the Etihad Stadium, following a disappointing defeat in the FA Cup final. Can the Cherries get their first win at the Etihad Stadium?
Manchester City Preview & Form
Manchester City have been confirmed to finish this campaign as the worst season since Pep Guardiola took charge, with City's trophyless season confirmed last weekend. On Saturday, Pep Guardiola's side was beaten 1-0 by Crystal Palace at Wembley Stadium to lose the FA Cup final for the second season in a row. With two Premier League games remaining to wrap up their season, the Citizens are still in the race for a Champions League spot next season, but they are in a good position at the moment, and a win in this match would take them back to the top three. In their last Premier League match, City were surprisingly held to a goalless draw by rock-bottom Southampton at St. Mary's Stadium.
Pep Guardiola's men are enjoying an impressive home form, with the Citizens having remained undefeated at home in the Premier League since the start of March. They have won their last four consecutive home games and are unbeaten in the last five, with two or more goals scored in four of the games.
Bournemouth Preview & Form
Bournemouth's chances of securing European football for the first time in a long time took a huge blow when Crystal Palace won the FA Cup last weekend. The Cherries are locked in a race with Brighton and Brentford for the eighth spot, but the spot now depends on whether Chelsea wins the Conference League and finishes below fifth. They will come into this game on the back of a narrow 1-0 defeat against Aston Villa at the Vitality Stadium, with the result ending a five-match unbeaten run in the league. Currently, Andoni Iraola's men are sitting 11th in the Premier League table with 53 points from 36 games, two points behind eighth-place Brentford.
Andoni Iraola's men will arrive at the Etihad Stadium on the back of a four-game Premier League away unbeaten run, winning once and drawing three in a row. Five of the Cherries' last six Premier League road games have resulted in both teams scoring and over 2.5 goals.
