Manchester City Review
Manchester City enters this crucial fixture in sixth place, just one point behind Aston Villa but with a game in hand. A victory would significantly bolster their chances of securing a top-five finish and Champions League qualification .
Despite a recent 1-0 loss to Crystal Palace in the FA Cup final, City boasts an impressive home record, having won their last eight final home league games. They have also maintained a perfect Premier League home record against Bournemouth .
This match marks the final home appearance for veteran midfielder Kevin De Bruyne, who has been instrumental in City's success over the past decade. His leadership and playmaking abilities will be pivotal as City aims to secure a vital win .
AFC Bournemouth Review
AFC Bournemouth, currently 11th in the league, still harbors hopes of European qualification, though their chances are slim and depend on various external factors .
Diario AS
Under manager Andoni Iraola, the Cherries have shown resilience, with notable performances including a victory over Arsenal. However, they have struggled with consistency, securing only two wins in their last ten games .
Injuries have plagued the squad, with key players like Alex Scott, Ryan Christie, and Enes Ünal sidelined. These absences could impact their performance against a formidable City side .
Head-to-Head
The historical record heavily favors Manchester City:
Total Meetings: 17
Manchester City Wins: 16
Bournemouth Wins: 1
Draws: 0
Goals Scored: Manchester City 50 – 11 Bournemouth
City has consistently dominated this fixture, with their only loss to Bournemouth occurring in November 2024 .
Nowgoal Prediction: Manchester City 3–1 AFC Bournemouth
Given Manchester City's strong home form and historical dominance over Bournemouth, they are clear favorites. However, Bournemouth's resilience and the emotional weight of De Bruyne's farewell could influence the match dynamics.
