Bournemouth vs Manchester City Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 2nd November 2024

Bournemouth welcome Manchester City this coming Saturday in the Premier League, with the host motivated by the possibility of closing the gap in the table on the visitors. On the other hand, the latter could distance themselves even further with a win in this exciting round 10 match.

Bournemouth are placed 11th with 12 points after nine matches. Manchester City occupy a position as oneth in the league on 23 points.

Although Bournemouth trail after Manchester City by double digits, beating the league leaders in the Premier League still holds a lot of prestige.

Bournemouth go into their next Premier League match, scoring a humble average of 1.2 per game in their last ten matches. They scored a mundane 12 times, while conceding 13. That amounts to an average of 1.3 per game, where they kept their opponents from scoring one times.

The Sky Blues show off splendid stats in their last ten matches, where they hit the target 2.3 times on average per game. They scored 23 goals and conceded ten, an average of one a game. They held on for a clean sheet in two of these.
