Man City vs Bournemouth: Match Preview y2651

Man City 6i2e6q

The genius of Pep Guardiola has not been enough to push Man City over the line this season. After losing the Premier League trophy to Liverpool and crashing out of the Champions League in the play-offs, the FA Cup was their only shot at salvation this season. However, on May 17, underdogs Crystal Palace flipped the script, clinching a 1-0 victory, courtesy of Eberechi Eze’s strike and Dean Henderson’s heroics in goal.

Man City will finish the season without a trophy, but they still have a big objective to meet. They must qualify for the Champions League next season. Guardiola’s side are currently in sixth place in the rankings with 65 points, sitting a point behind Newcastle United (third), Chelsea (fourth), and Aston Villa (fifth). City, however, have a game in hand, winning which will put them back in third place in the Premier League standings.

Unlike Man City, there is nothing tangible on the line for 11th-placed Bournemouth. But they would surely love to finish in the top half of the table. With 53 points, they are trailing Brentford and Fulham by 2 and 1 points, respectively. They, however, have a game in hand, meaning they can leapfrog the pair with a positive result at the Etihad Stadium.

In their previous outing, Bournemouth suffered a 1-0 defeat to Aston Villa, which ended their five-game unbeaten run in the Premier League.

Man City 6i2e6q

John Stones (thigh) and Rodri (ACL), Nathan Ake (fitness), and Oscar Bobb (fitness) are all out for Bournemouth’s trip on Tuesday. It is Kevin De Bruyne’s final home game at the Etihad Stadium, and Pep Guardiola will undoubtedly put the midfield general in the starting XI.

Predicted Man City XI: Ederson, Lewis, Dias, Gvardiol, O’Reilly; Gundogan, Kovacic, De Bruyne; Foden, Doku, Haaland

Bournemouth 4nh2w

Andoni Iraola, meanwhile, will have to make do without Alex Scott (jaw), Ryan Christie (groin), Dango Ouattara (groin), Luis Sinisterra (hamstring) and Enes Unal (knee). There are no suspensions for Bournemouth.

Predicted Bournemouth XI: Arrizabalaga; Smith, Zabarnyi, Huijsen, Kerkez; Adams, Cook; Tavernier, Kluivert, Semenyo; Evanilson

Man City vs Bournemouth: Prediction 22r6r

Bournemouth will not be afraid to take the fight to Manchester City this Tuesday, but we do not see them being successful. There might be some moments of hesitation, but Erling Haaland and Co. are very likely to come out on top and take a firm step towards the Champions League.

SportsCasting’s Prediction: Man City 3-1 Bournemouth
