AFC Bournemouth - Manchester City predictions

A home win is not something we would recommend betting on at the odds of 7.45 – 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.

Any Result bet in this match other than Away Win would be quite optimistic indeed. Manchester City seem to be on their way to a relatively easy victory, though we suppose a major slip-up is not out of the question. Don’t count on it, though.

AFC Bournemouth showed some character in their previous Premier League outing. It was a tough trip to take but they held well. Matter of fact, Bournemouth kept it level at the break and after the full 90 minutes for a Newcastle United draw.

The visitors are coming off from a slightly underwhelming result in the previous round of the Premier League. They did beat Brentford, but struggled to get their foot in front during the first half and ended up grabbing three points thanks to a slim, one-goal margin (1:0).

AFC Bournemouth’s recent performances have raised some questions about their defence. They conceded 6 goals throughout their latest three Premier League matches and betting on Over 4.5 seems like a reasonable option.

The Citizens seem to be effective no matter the circumstances. They’ve recorded over 5 goals scored over their previous 3 matches as visitors – a situation in which most teams tend to struggle.

The Sky Blues are 1 point behind the table leaders. The teams are quite settled in their position this late in the season, so their chances of taking the title are limited. On the flip side, they are likely to win at The CherriesS, which would help quite a bit.

The most recent record of this matchup we have is a decisive City 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.

Ryan Fredericks, Max Aarons, Romain Faivre will not be able to play for the hosts this Saturday due to various injuries. This makes their chances of coming out on top as underdogs even smaller but is important to keep in mind when considering betting odds.

While it’s risky as far as betting predictions go, a Draw/Away bet in the Half Time/Full Time market is the best place to find betting value in this match. Simply put, the 7.08 odds outweigh the relatively small implied probability.
