AFC Bournemouth - Manchester City betting tips and odds

A home win is not something we would recommend betting on at the odds of 12.50 – but you’re probably aware of that already. It would take a miracle for AFC Bournemouth to pull off even a draw, let alone a win as underdogs.

A trip to The Cherries can hardly be seen as a big test for Manchester City. With 1.32 betting odds stacked in their favour, it’s hard seeing past anything other than a compelling away win here.

Bournemouth return home from a very successful Premier League trip. They faced a heavily priced opponent seen as a huge favourite but still managed to remain unbeaten during the first half and then steal three points thanks to a narrow victory (Wolverhampton Wanderers).

Manchester City are coming off from a surprising away draw at Nottingham Forest in the last round of the Premier League. Despite taking an early lead, they relaxed in the second half and ended up sharing the spoils in a 1:1 draw, even though the best bookmakers online expected them to win.

Only 1 or fewer goals were scored during the course of Bournemouth’s previous two away games. An Under marker might be worth considering here.

Manchester City don’t seem to have any issues in the goal-scoring department. Their most recent records show they’ve score more than 5 goals over the last 3 matches, so they’re on a bit of a positive trend already.

The most recent record of this matchup we have is a decisive The Sky Blues victory from the previous Premier League season. Based partly on the considerable lead they secured before the end of that bout, this game’s away team are expected to win again.

With Aymeric Laporte, John Stones, Kevin De Bruyne kept from the game due to injuries, the away team is forced to switch things up. They are still considered favourites, but it’s something to keep in mind.

An Under 2.5 Goals bet combines the best of both worlds: it’s a fairly safe bet with a high probability of success, but it also offers decent betting value. You can place it on the 10Bet priced at 2.55 odds.
