Manchester City needed a couple of months to get on top of the Premier League and it is a real question if they will let the lead to anyone by the end of the season. “The Sky Blues” have been more than dominant in their previous games against Bournemouth and “the Bees” will definitely lack no motive to finally end that incredible run.
Bournemouth and Manchester City meet on 02.11.2024, with both teams hoping for a win. The match takes place at Vitality Stadium in Bournemouth on Saturday.

Bournemouth vs. Manchester City: Current situation
Bournemouth is hanging on in the safe zone of the Premier League standings and is one of the toughest teams to predict. They can literally beat anybody, which they proved with the victory against Arsenal, and at the same time they can lose against anybody, like they did against Leicester. However, one thing is for sure: whenever Bournemouth plays, it is a great game of football with a lot of running and scoring opportunities. Can that bring them a win over the defensive champion, we are about to see it on Saturday at Vitality Stadium.
Manchester City had a little slower start of this season, but there is no doubt that the “Sky Blues” are still the best team in England, and probably in Europe as well. Pep Guardiola is doing a great job with the team even though his main creator, Kevin de Bruyne, has been out of the rotation for a while now. There are plenty of guys who can step up on any given day, and as long as Erlin Haaland is on top of his game, City will be the favorite to win any competition.
Bournemouth Stats & Form
Bournemouth has been hanging on in the middle of the Premier League standings with a 3-3-3 record and a goal differential of 11-11. They have been pretty solid at home winning two of four games in front of the home fans and the most significant among them is the 2-0 win over Arsenal in their last game at Vitality Stadium. “The Bees” are one of the most aggressive teams in the league being third in the league with 140 shots on goal so far in the season, but are only 13th with 11 goals. Three of those belong to Antoine Semenyo, who is the team’s leading scorer.
Manchester City Stats & Form
Manchester City has picked up the pace and is now on top of the Premier League standings but only with a one-point lead ahead of the competition. Coming off three consecutive Premier League and back-to-back Champions League wins speaks enough about their form. Of course, many expected the “Sky Blues” to be way more dominant against Southampton in the last one, but at the end of the day, three points are three points. City is the best offensive team in the league with 20 goals so far in the season and 11 of those belong to Erling Haaland.
Bournemouth – Manchester City: Head to Head

Currently, City is on a 15-game winning streak against “the Bees”. Last season, City won 1-0 on the road and 6-1 at home. They have scored at least 4 goals in 3 of the last 4 games against Bournemouth.

Betting tip and prediction: Bournemouth - Manchester City (02.11.2024)
Manchester City is back on top of the Premier League and are the frontrunners to win their fifth consecutive title. They had a couple of weeks with their efficiency not being on top level, but now they are back in full speed, and Bournemouth has a real problem ahead of them. “The Bees” have never beaten City, but if they could beat Arsenal, maybe they can do the same against the defending champions. Still, that is easier to be said than done, and Bournemouth will miss three players in their quest on Saturday. Colombian striker Luis Sinisterra will not be available, just like midfielders Tyler Adams and Alex Scott. City has a longer injury list with Rodri, Jeremy Doku, Jack Grealish, Kevin De Bruyne, and Kyle Walker, but at the same time has plenty of players who are ready to step in. Erling Haaland is not as efficient as he was at the beginning of the season, and this looks like a game for him to shine. Pep Guardiola will definitely do some time management in this game since City is traveling to Lisbon next to face Sporting in the Champions League. However, this visit is the priority for City, and they will definitely take care of business. Bournemouth can be dangerous if they have the majority of the possession, but City will not allow that and convert and early lead to a new three points at the end of the game.
