Manchester City visit Bournemouth on the Premier League matchday 32. The match is to be played on Saturday, April 2nd.
Bournemouth are showing excellent results in their first year in the top division. They play nice football and have firm place in the middle of the standings. The Cherries are currently 13th with 38 points after 31 gameweek. Such record almost guarantees them the place in the Premier League for next year. Eddie Howe’s men played 12 league matches after the Boxing Day, taking 5 wins, 4 defeats and 3 draws. The team won 3 out of last 5 home matches, losing another 2. The hosts of the match might try to take advantage of poor conditions of the City in recent matches and battle for points there.

Manchester City are not involved in the title race any longer. Moreover, they have to be concerned about the place in the Champions League next season. The Citizens are currently 4th but only one point above West Ham. Pellegrini’s men took only 4 wins in 2016, which is less than their opponents in this match have. Manchester City have important Champions League clash against PSG next week in Paris. On top of that, the City have problems with injured players this season and the best lineup isn’t always available. Despite all the problems and importance of the next week match, Manchester City won’t settle for anything less than 3 points in the match as they need to secure their positions in the standings while losses of points can be fatal at this late stage of the season.
Bookmakers see the visitors as favorites (2.07) which is quite obvious while chances of the hosts for a victory is much lower (3.95). The Citizens strive for three points here and now while Bournemouth would satisfy with just few points in matches remaining as they simply don’t want to be involved in relegation battle. Considering the above we should expect the City to be closer to a victory in the match.
Prediction for the match: Manchester City to win with 0.0 Asian handicap.
