Manchester City and Bournemouth have had to contend with the turmoil of finding new managers this summer, but we’re expecting normal service to be resumed on the pitch. The Cherries have lost on all nine previous Premier League visits to Etihad Stadium , although they have at least managed a consolation goal in the last three trips here.
We’re hoping that trend continues, as a BOYLE Sports price boost of 7/4 for a home win and both teams to score is our main Man City vs Bournemouth prediction.

Head-to-Head
Man City vs Bournemouth head-to-head record
City’s slim hopes of another title triumph ended with a 1-1 draw at Vitality Stadium in May, with Erling Haaland’s stoppage-time equaliser not enough to stop Arsenal from being crowned champions.
As already mentioned, though, the Blues have dominated Bournemouth on home turf, with Haaland having earlier hit a double when they prevailed 3-1 at this venue last November. BOYLE Sports are offering a Super Boost of EVS (was 2/5) for the Norway striker to score at any time again here and that will be hard to resist for many punters.

Form Guides
Man City form guide
Following 10 trophy-laden years under Pep Guardiola , the pressure is on Enzo Maresca to deliver more silverware, reclaim the Premier League title and conquer Europe once again. The former Etihad Stadium assistant and ex- Chelsea boss will have to cope without several seasoned campaigners who have excelled in recent years, though.
Bernardo Silva and John Stones have been joined on the exit list by Rodri , while a 3-0 Community Shield defeat by Arsenal had a few alarm bells ringing. However, Maresca’s past experience at the club means there will at least be some sense of continuity, not to mention a British record transfer swoop to sign England midfielder Elliot Anderson.
Looking at the Man City vs Bournemouth odds , we like 9/1 for the Blues to win this fixture 3-1 for a third consecutive season.
Bournemouth form guide
The Cherries paid the price for an eye-catching sixth-placed finish last term when Liverpool came calling for highly-rated head coach Andoni Iraola. On the plus side, new boss Marco Rose built up a good reputation with Red Bull Salzburg , Borussia Monchengladbach , Borussia Dortmund and RB Leipzig , so seems a fine choice to take the south-coast club into a first European campaign.
The addition of Portugal defender Antonio Silva along with Juanlu Sanchez and striker Alvaro Rodriguez all look sound investments as Bournemouth look to rebuild again and keep themselves in the top half of the table.
Losing exciting French forward Junior Kroupi for three to four months after last season’s top scorer needed surgery following a pre-season foot injury is a major blow, though. The Cherries must also come face to face with former star Antoine Semenyo , who was excellent for City after January’s £65million switch, scoring 11 times in 27 games in all competitions.
Let’s add 6/4 for Semenyo to strike in a home win to our Man City vs Bournemouth betting tips.
