Our prediction for the match Bournemouth vs Manchester City
“The Cherries” returned to the Premier League in 2022, and they had bet on Andoni Iraola a year ago, in the last but one season. The club went through that championship unstably, but finally managed to climb to a fairly high 12th place. “The Citizens” were able to maintain their status as No. 1 in the Premier League, adding to it the victories in the UEFA Super Cup and the Club World Cup. Still, Real Madrid turned out to be stronger in the penalty shoot-out in the Champions League in the spring.
Guardiola’s wards suffered losses – Alvarez was sold, Doku and Rodri were injured. On the other hand, Savio was taken for approximately the same roles and Gundogan was returned. Generally speaking, the statistics are not bad, but there are already a number of misfires. And if it wasn’t for Stones’ ability to score at the end of the game (for a draw with Arsenal and for a win with Wolverhampton), the situation would be much more sceptical. However, the only goal in the battle against Southampton was scored by the one who should have – Haaland. The struggle with Tottenham brought a defeat, but in the League Cup.
Iraola’s players became the first to defeat Arsenal this season. Still, it is reasonable to mention that “the Gunners” played for a long time with 10 men there. It is remarkable that this team has won and lost matches this season equally. The results are pretty good, if you remember that the management sold the main centre forward, Solanke, in the summer. Aston Villa was limited to a 1-1 draw even in Birmingham in the last round. Despite the departure of Solanke and the arrival of Kepa, the team has not become unspectacular. It scores and concedes 1.25 goals per match. The champion has Haaland with his 10 goals (as a result, there is the pleasant goal ratio – 2.38 / 1.13).
