Premier League Betting Preview: Bournemouth vs Manchester City

Sixth-placed Bournemouth, still in the hunt for a Champions League spot, square off against title contenders Manchester City at Vitality Stadium, with kick-off set for 14:30 on Tuesday 19 May.

Manchester City appeal on the Full-Time Result market. The Citizens are in strong form, having won four of their last five away matches in all competitions, while also claiming victory in the last three meetings with Bournemouth.

With their title hopes on the line, this is a must-win game for City and odds of -143 look attractive.

Bournemouth trail Liverpool by four points with a game in hand in the race for the final Champions League spot, while Manchester City are five points adrift of Arsenal in the title race, having played a game fewer.

Bournemouth have triumphed in back-to-back Premier League clashes. The latest was on the road where Fulham were beaten 1-0 at Craven Cottage. Andoni Iraola's team had 40% possession and recorded five shots on target, with an early second half strike from Rayan proving the difference.

Manchester City claimed a home victory in their previous league game. A 3-0 triumph against Crystal Palace at Etihad Stadium made it back-to-back Premier League wins. The Citizens enjoyed an impressive 72% of possession and managed four shots on goal, while Antoine Semenyo, Omar Marmoush and Savinho were on the scoresheet.

Three days ago, Pep Guardiola won his 20th trophy as Manchester City manager after City secured a 1-0 victory over Chelsea in the FA Cup final at Wembley.

Head-to-Head Statistics

It has been three consecutive victories for City when playing Bournemouth. Their last encounter saw City make home advantage count at Etihad Stadium, winning 3-1. The previous 10 H2H meetings have involved nine City triumphs and just one win for Bournemouth.
