Bournemouth Vs Manchester City Prediction: Betting Tips & Odds

With two games to go in this exciting Premier League season, here are our best Bournemouth Vs Manchester City tips and predictions ahead of Tuesday's massive fixture at the Vitality Stadium.

Tuesday's meeting on the South Coast will be massive for both sides, for different reasons.

Manchester City are still chasing the Premier League title, and will be hoping to make it a domestic treble after winning both the Carabao Cup and FA Cup already this season.

Pep Guardiola's side trail league leaders Arsenal by two points and will need the Gunners to drop points for them to win the title.

However, one slip-up from Arsenal will open the door for City, who will be looking to capitalise and keep the pressure on.

For Bournemouth, meanwhile, there is the promise of a first-ever foray into Champions League football.

The Cherries have enjoyed an incredible season under Andoni Iraola, and currently sit sixth in the table.

This season, however, that should be enough for a Champions League place.

They will be hoping to avoid defeat, though, with both Brighton and Brentford hot on their heels.

When Bournemouth and City met earlier in the season, it finished 3-1 to the Citizens at the Etihad.

Bournemouth Vs Manchester City Prediction

Despite their incredible rise through the ranks of English football, beating Manchester City seems almost impossible for Bournemouth.

The Cherries have won just once in 25 attempts, winning 2-1 in the Premier League last season.

With 22 wins from 25 games, City are absolutely dominant in the fixture.

The aggregate score stands at 66-17 in City's favour, and Guardiola's side will be giving this one everything.

Looking forward to Tuesday, Manchester City are 1.70 favourites with most UK betting sites. Bournemouth, meanwhile, are priced at around 4.20, despite having home advantage.

However, Iraola's side have not lost since January, a run of 17 games unbeaten inside 90 minutes.

City will be expected to win, but it would not be surprising to see the Cherries take a point.

Prediction: Bournemouth 1-2 Manchester City

Bournemouth Vs Manchester City Betting Tips

Below, we have chosen our top three Bournemouth vs Manchester City betting tips, each of which can be backed ahead of Tuesday's meeting on the South Coast.

Manchester City & Yes - Result/Both Teams To Score - 2.80

Our first tip is for Man City to get the win, but not without conceding.

Bournemouth have proven they are a tough side, and full deserve to be on the brink of Champions League football.

This will be no easy fixture for City, who will have to work hard to break down the Cherries.

We do think Guardiola's side will get the job done, but both sides scoring feels like a fair prediction.

Antoine Semenyo First Goalscorer - 6.00

Next up, it feels written in the stars that former Bournemouth man Antoine Semenyo will score against his old club.

January sales often have a habit of returning to haunt their former sides, and Semenyo has been excellent this season in both Bournemouth and City colours.

The Ghanaian international has 16 Premier League goals in 35 games across both teams, and 20 in all competitions.

He has a good chance of scoring again on Tuesday and comes into this one in great form.

Gianluigi Donnarumma To Receive A Yellow Card - 5.00

And finally, it may seem like a long shot to bet on a goalkeeper to be booked, but there's a reason for this pick.

City keeper Donnarumma has been booked nine times this season, almost always for time wasting.

The Italian has no qualms about going into the referee's book in order to waste precious seconds in important games, something he will likely do again on Tuesday if City are winning in the closing stages.

And with odds of 5.00, this bet represents a great value pick for a player to be carded.
