Man City Look for a Second Win This Week by Beating Bournemouth
Bournemouth vs Manchester City - 24/02/2024
2082
Forebet is back to analyze all the latest data, trends, statistics and mathematics for the Premier League this weekend with Manchester City becoming desperate for all three points down at the Vitality Stadium against Bournemouth.
City drew 1-1 with Chelsea last weekend, as Rodri managed to snatch a point for the champions after their former hero, Raheem Sterling, scored for the Blues.
It was the eighth time this season already that City have now dropped points in the Premier League from 25 games.
It means Liverpool are now four points clear of them at the top of the table, although Pep Guardiola's men also have a game in hand which could bring them to within one.
City also have to head to Anfield in just short of three weeks, while they also have the Manchester derby next weekend and a clash with Arsenal at home at the end of next month.
Undoubtedly, it is a season-defining period for the Citizens, and it makes this game a must-win in order to not fall further behind the title race.
City did also get back to winning ways in midweek with Erling Haaland scoring yet again to bring his tally to 17 for this season.
The Norwegian striker’s goal against Brentford also means he has now scored against everything Premier League opposition he has faced, despite this being just his second season in England.
In total, Guardiola's men now have 17 wins on the board, five draws and three losses.
This also puts the club on 58 goals scored in the league and the third best defensive tally of 26 behind Arsenal and Liverpool.
Bournemouth’s excellent form shown throughout November and December that saw them rocket up the Premier League table feels like a long time ago.
The Cherries are now within eight points of the relegation zone and have failed to win any of their past six games in the Premier League after losses to Tottenham Hotspur, Fulham and Liverpool, and draws with West Ham United, Nottingham Forest and Newcastle United.
They have still been excellent in the FA Cup in 2024, however, beating Queens Park Rangers 3-2 in London before a 5-0 battering at home to Swansea City.
They will also fancy their chances against Leicester City in the 5th round next week.
Forebet predicts a win for City and for the game to see over 2.5 goals once more.
