Manchester City vs Bournemouth Team News
Manchester City Team News
After three back-to-back victories in the Premier League, Manchester City seemed unstoppable. Yet their lucky streak ended in the Midlands, where they were outclassed by Aston Villa (0-1). The defeat leaves them in fifth place, with 16 points from nine games.
In that match, Man City dominated most key metrics: with 1.18xG and 18 shots, it appeared as though the Citizens would win. However, they created as many big chances as their opponents (2) and conceded in the first half.
In the EFL Cup, Manchester City defeated Swansea with ease (3-1). Omar Marmoush, Jérémy Doku, and Rayan Cherki scored for the Citizens after Gonçalo Franco opened the scoring for Swansea.
Rodri will be sidelined, while Abdukodir Khusanov is awaiting medical clearance.
Manchester City predicted lineup vs Bournemouth (4-1-4-1): Donnarumma; Gvardiol, Dias, Stones, Nunes; González; Doku, Foden, Reijnders, Savinho; Haaland
Bournemouth Team News
It may come as a surprise, but selling several key players, such as Illia Zabarnyi, has only strengthened Bournemouth. Led by Andoni Iraola, the Cherries sit second in the Premier League, behind only Arsenal.
Under Iraola, the team have rarely dominated possession and haven’t produced the highest figures. Yet it hasn’t stopped them from scoring more often than their opponents, thanks to forwards like Marcus Tavernier and Eli Junior Kroupi.
With a combination of athleticism and technique, Bournemouth focused on rapid transitions to find the net. However, this can be tricky at times, as there’s a lot of pressure on the forward to score more than their opponents.
With a leaky backline, the club have dropped points in matches they should have won, as seen against Crystal Palace (3-3), Leeds (2-2), and Newcastle (0-0).
Evanilson is awaiting medical clearance.
Bournemouth predicted lineup vs Manchester City (4-2-3-1): Petrović; Truffert, Senesi, Milosavljević, Jiménez; Adams, Scott; Semenyo, Kluivert, Tavernier; Kroupi

Manchester City vs Bournemouth Prediction, Odds
- Prediction: Manchester City to win
- Odds: -193 (Tonybet)
- Correct score prediction: Manchester City 3-2 Bournemouth
Across the last ten years, Bournemouth have only defeated Manchester City once: in November 2024 (2-1). Although betting odds favour Guardiola’s team, Andoni Iraola’s vertical gameplay is likely to cause problems for the Citizens’ defence.
However, this is unlikely to suffice. Bournemouth lack physically dominant midfielders, meaning that the double pivot often gets caught out of position during fast-paced transitions. For Man City, this is the ideal weakness to target with players like Jeremy Doku and Savinho on the wings.

The Cherries have conceded four more goals than Guardiola’s side, while scoring one less. The last Bournemouth defeat dates back to the first match of the season (2-4 against Liverpool), but City could be the squad to end Iraola’s unbeaten run.
Manchester City vs Bournemouth Betting Tip
- Pick: Erling Haaland to score
- Odds: -150 (Tonybet)
That Erling Haaland scores goals is nothing new, but he’s been on a different level since the start of the season. In nine Premier League appearances, the Norwegian striker has registered 11 goals and one assist.
The 0-1 defeat to Aston Villa marked the first game without Haaland recording a goal or an assist since the tie against Tottenham, dating back to late August.
Haaland will face physically weaker opponents in the penalty box, with the support of Doku and Savinho on the flanks. If the backline can improve its defensive record, Haaland should receive enough chances to make the difference in the penalty box.
