Bournemouth vs Manchester City Prediction

Bournemouth Form

Bournemouth should be high on confidence, as their last three matches saw them gain two victories and a draw. They started off drawing 2-2 with Leeds, before beating first Crystal Palace by 3-0, then Fulham in a 0-1 win. Bournemouth just have a single home win to show from their efforts in the past six Premier League matches at the Vitality Stadium. They also drew five and lost zero of these six encounters, in which they scored nine and conceded six goals.

Most people had Bournemouth down among favourites for relegation, but they have surpassed all expectations. With the season coming to an end, they look destined for another season in the Premier League.

Manchester City Form

Manchester City look fabulous with three wins on the trot, starting off against Brentford, who were defeated by 3-0. Then, Crystal Palace got outclassed in a 3-0 win, before beating Chelsea by 0-1. Manchester City claimed a remarkable four wins from six away matches in the Premier League, going undefeated as they also drew twice. They also banged in 11 goals, whilst conceding five.

Manchester City went into the season with the expectation of finishing in the top three, and as we are closing in on the end of the season, they are right on track.
