Bournemouth vs. Manchester City Predictions

• When: Monday, March 30, 12:30 AM
• Where: Vitality Stadium, Bournemouth, England

FA Cup quarterfinals brought together Bournemouth and Manchester City. The two sides see this as the only opportunity this year to win some silverware. This especially goes for Manchester City, who has been in a hole for a long time. Meanwhile, the Cherries aren’t playing as before, and their form has dropped significantly.

Bournemouth vs. Manchester City Preview

Bournemouth

Just one win in the past five games signals problems in Bournemouth. And even that triumph wasn’t in the regular 90 minutes, but after penalties against Wolves in the previous FA Cup round. So, all in all, the Cherries can’t get a grip on their form right now.

Their matches are filled with goals and interesting, yet the final results aren’t good for Andoni Iraola. Five out of the past six saw both teams netting, and four ended with three or more goals.

What is especially worrying for the fans is that Bournemouth lost three of the most recent four games at home. In fact, they haven’t won four straight because the above-mentioned FA Cup clash with the Wolves finished 1-1 after 90 minutes.

Manchester City

This is the only competition in which Man City can win a domestic trophy. But the way the Citizens play, that’s not likely to happen. After back-to-back wins against Tottenham and Plymouth, they disappointed again.

Nottingham Forest beat them at City Ground, 1-0, and after that, Brighton took a point on the road at the Etihad Stadium, 2-2. It was another devastating blow for the already struggling champions.

The defense has been a constant problem for Guardiola and his staff throughout the entire year. Eight of the past ten events saw City allow a goal, and during that stretch, six matches ended with over 3.5 goals.

Bournemouth vs. Manchester City Predictions

Bournemouth is in a tough position, but so is City, who can’t find the proper rhythm this season. In our opinion, this match is 50-50 when it comes to the winner, and we won’t meddle in predicting the final score. That’s why our pick here will be over 2.5 goals. Both teams play open and offensive football, and their defenses are pretty shaky, so we expect to see many goals.

Our verdict: Over 2.5 goals
