Bournemouth vs Manchester City Predictions
A title race still leaves room for goals
Ten of the last 15 meetings between these clubs finished with a Manchester City win and goals for both teams. City have also scored at least twice in nine of the last 11 clashes with Bournemouth, while the last two head-to-heads both ended 3-1.
Tuesday carries extra weight. If Arsenal beat Burnley on Monday, Manchester City need victory to take the title race into the final weekend. The FA Cup is already secured and a domestic treble remains in sight, so the pressure around Pep Guardiola’s side does not disappear.
City are unbeaten in ten matches with nine wins in that run. Yet Bournemouth bring their own numbers. The Cherries have gone 17 matches in all competitions without defeat, although nine were draws, and four wins arrived in their last five games. Only City own a stronger home record than Bournemouth’s two league defeats at the Vitality Stadium this season.
Andoni Iraola’s final home match as Bournemouth manager may carry a different mood, but the hosts still chase a Champions League place and another European push. That keeps the attacking angle alive rather than quietens it.
A Bournemouth contribution matters for this market. Their home record and long unbeaten sequence suggest they are unlikely to disappear, while City’s recent meetings with the Cherries regularly drift beyond low-scoring margins. Even so, City’s experience in late-season pressure games remains difficult to ignore.
Nine City wins in ten unbeaten matches and ten winning BTTS outcomes in the last 15 meetings make a bet on Manchester City and Both Teams To Score appeals at 2.88.

Semenyo returns with a familiar storyline
Antoine Semenyo is the clear player angle here after scoring ten goals for Manchester City since leaving Bournemouth in January. He also struck the winning goal in Saturday’s FA Cup final and arrives with goals in consecutive appearances.
The forward scored 30 goals in 83 games for Bournemouth before the move, so the return to the Vitality Stadium carries an obvious thread without changing the focus. The recent output is stronger. Two straight goals and ten in a short spell since January explain why his price sits where it does.
City’s need for points can keep attacking players involved deep into the game, but that only works as background. Semenyo’s case rests mainly on his own numbers. Ten goals since joining, a decisive FA Cup final strike and back-to-back scoring games give him a frequent route into this market.
Still, Bournemouth have lost only twice at home in the league all season and that tempers certainty rather than removes the chance. The line on Semenyo remains shaped by recent finishing returns.
The winning goal at Wembley followed by another visit to a former club gives Antoine Semenyo to score anytime could be worth a look at 2.50.
