On Sunday, from 14:00, Bournemouth receives a visit to Manchester City in the third stage of the Premier League, in a match that, usually, the “citizens” win without much trouble. Hosts coached by Eddie Howe have big problems at the start of the 2019/2020 championship.
If Pep Guardiola lacks the services of Mendy and Sane, Eddie Howe must do without Brooks, L. Cook, Francis, Gosling, Groeneveld, Kelly and Stanislas. After playing in front of newcomers in the first two stages, Bournemouth started the season with the right (4 points), and are now preparing for the hardest mission possible. Defeated by Manchester City in all 8 straight Premier League duels, Bournemouth received an average of 3.13 goals per game with “nationals”, who have benefited from a lethal attack in recent years.
Last season, both teams favored bets on goals, which brings us to a spectacular new match at Vitality Stadium. However, City only won 1-0 in their last visit to the south, and the hosts will again try to defend the white draw as long as possible. Last season, the champion drew with Tottenham (2-2), after a series of 15 consecutive Premier League victories, and the Manchester force’s offensive strength cannot be contested. Given that City has scored in both halves in 7 of the last 8 straight duels, it is natural to bet once again on goals.
PROBABLE TEAMS IN BOURNEMOUTH – MANCHESTER CITY:
Bournemouth: Ramsdale – Mepham, S. Cook, Ake – A. Smith, Billing, Lerma, Daniels – King, Wilson, Fraser
Manchester City: Ederson – Walker, Otamendi, Laporte, Zinchenko – De Bruyne, Rodri, D. Silva – B. Silva, Jesus, Sterling
PREDICTION: Over 2,5 goals @ 1,36
