Bournemouth vs Manchester City Betting Tips
Double chance – Bournemouth or draw @ 2.08
Bournemouth’s unbeaten run in the Premier League is no joke. Iraola’s men are a seriously strong outfit, and with extra days of rest in the legs, they can certainly put City to the sword on home soil. So covering two match outcomes at better than evens could be a great betting play – even if the head-to-head record is heavily tilted in the Citizens’ favour!
Draw no bet – Bournemouth @ 3.10
And if you are looking for increased odds on a positive Bournemouth result, this is a potential avenue to go down. A draw would see your stake returned to you, removing an element of risk in the process. The Cherries have lost just twice at home all season!
Player to score or assist – Eli Junior Kroupi @ 2.30
Teenage sensation Kroupi is the man in form. The French starlet has four goals in his previous six Premier League outings, three of them scored on home soil. Can he deliver again vs Pep Guardiola’s well-oiled machine?
