Can Bournemouth Upset Manchester City Again?
AFC Bournemouth and Manchester City meet again at the Vitality Stadium, but this time the stakes are higher in the FA Cup quarter-finals. Bournemouth shocked City earlier this season with a 2-1 win, but recent form may suggest a different outcome.
The Cherries have struggled at home, losing their last three league games, while City’s cup performances have been strong, netting 13 goals in three FA Cup matches. However, City’s away form has been shaky, with just three clean sheets in their last 15 matches, making for an intriguing tie.
Prediction 1: Over 2.5 goals (8/11)
With both sides prone to scoring and conceding, over 2.5 goals looks like a solid option. City’s defence has been leaky on the road, and Bournemouth are capable of finding the back of the net, especially after their previous success against City. Bet on goals here.
Prediction 2: Manchester City to win and both teams to score (9/4)
This is where the value lies. Bournemouth have the ability to trouble City’s defence, but Guardiola’s side should have enough firepower to outscore their opponents. The odds reflect the probability of a high-scoring match with a City win. Place your bet here.
Prediction 3: Omar Marmoush to score anytime (7/2)
Marmoush has been a revelation since joining City in January, scoring in their recent 2-2 draw against Brighton. He’s looked sharp and could add to his tally against Bournemouth’s vulnerable backline. Back Marmoush to score here.
