Few teams can oppose “citizens” this season. Saturday, at 15:00, Manchester City continues the march to the title in England! Pep Guardiola’s team is due on Etihad Stadium with Bournemouth, the band who lost the last three games in a row.
The form of the moment indicates a clear favorite, as seen from Netbet’s odds. Manchester City comes after a spectacular 2-2 in the UEFA Champions League on Olympique Lyon, but has 5 consecutive wins in the championship, where he rips his rivals. A spectacular match is announced, because the “citizens” offensive is in full shape. With 12 wins in the last 14 official matches and a total of 44 goals scored, City boasts an average of 3.07 goals scored per match in the championship.
Bournemouth lost all six duels played against Manchester City in the Premier League, last season’s scores being 1-2 and 0-4. At this point, Manchester City heads the hierarchy in England, with 35 points accumulated in 13 stages (40-5 gallop), while Bournemouth is on the 8th place (goal 22-18). Both bands are characterized by an offensive style based on quick attacks, which should favor bets on goals.
Manchester City has scored 16 goals in the last 5 straight games with Bournemouth and should make a good start in the weekend, even if the hosts will miss the injuries De Bruyne, Gundogan, Mendy, Bernardo Silva and Gabriel Jesus. The most dangerous player of the guests is Callum Wilson, who has scored 6 goals and 4 defeats this season. Bournemouth is a team that performs a very good combination game, even if the results of the southern grandees have not been great until now. In the past, Eddie Howe’s students gave Arsenal (1-2) on their own ground, although they played peer-to-peer with Unai Emery.
The champions attacked in the last round of the Premier League on West Ham United and the en-titre champion scored 13 goals in the last 3 rounds: 6-1 with Southampton, 3-1 with Manchester United and 4-0 with West Ham United. Eddie Howe’s team dreams of surprise, but has the chances of making it on City’s field, which has won the last eight consecutive Premier League games on Etihad Stadium.
THE PROBABLE TEAMS
Manchester City: Ederson; Danilo, Stones, Otamendi, Zinchenko; Fernandinho, Delph; Sterling, D.Silva, Sane; Aguero
Bournemouth: Begovic; Francis, S. Cook, Ake, Ming; Cook, Gosling; Brooks, King, Fraser; Wilson
PREDICTION: Both teams to score / NO @ 1.71
