Football Livescore | Match Prediction & Tips
-------------------
Bournemouth, sitting second in the Premier League, face a major test against fifth-placed Manchester City at the Etihad on Sunday. The Cherries recently beat Nottingham Forest 2-0 to climb up the table. Meanwhile, City’s title hopes took another hit after a 1-0 defeat to Aston Villa.
Team Analysis:
Manchester City’s heavy reliance on Erling Haaland continues to show, as they struggled in a 1-0 loss to Aston Villa when he failed to score. Despite recent home dominance, Pep Guardiola’s side sits six points behind Arsenal and faces pressure to bounce back. Meanwhile, Bournemouth are flying high under Andoni Iraola, unbeaten in eight league games, though they have never taken a Premier League point at the Etihad.
Player Situation:
Erling Haaland and Rodri are back in training and expected to feature for Manchester City, giving Pep Guardiola a nearly full-strength squad. Phil Foden is set to return for his 200th Premier League appearance after Rayan Cherki’s strong midweek showing. For Bournemouth, Enes Unal has recovered from his ACL injury, while teenage striker Eli Junior Kroupi aims to extend his scoring streak to four straight league games.
Result Prediction:
Manchester City and Bournemouth both boast strong attacks, but the Cherries’ leaky defense could make this a high-scoring clash. Bournemouth have never managed to break their Etihad curse despite multiple attempts. With City thriving at home, Guardiola’s side is favored to secure another win and climb above their spirited opponents.
Predicted Result: Manchester City 3-2 Bournemouth.
