Man City may have lost at Aston Villa last weekend but few could argue that Pep Guardiola’s men are looking in ominous form, regardless of how dependent on Erling Haaland they may or may not be.
The Villa Park setback was City’s only defeat in 11 matches, of which eight have finished in victories. That form will be tested to the full next month, though, with City’s November fixtures pitting them against Bournemouth, Borussia Dortmund, Liverpool, Newcastle, Bayer Leverkusen and Leeds.
Man City vs Bournemouth Prediction – PL 2025/26
Bournemouth have been arguably this season’s surprise packages in the Premier League, sitting second in the table, but they have only faced two of last year’s top six so far and were only able to take one point from those games against Liverpool and Newcastle.
City are 4/9 to win this weekend, while our prediction is a home victory with both teams to score @ 15/8.

Head-to-Head Record
Man City vs Bournemouth Head-to-Head Record
Bournemouth caused a huge upset when these two met exactly 12 months ago to the day after goals from Antoine Semenyo and Evanilson earned the Cherries a 2-1 win.
That was Bournemouth’s first victory over City and saw Guardiola’s reigning champions suffer a first defeat in 33 Premier League games.
Unfortunately for the Cherries, it was an outlier in terms of results and they have lost both games to City since then – leaving their overall record in matches between the two at 21 defeats in 24 meetings.

Man City Form Guide
City will be glad five of their next six fixtures are at home, not least due to the difficulty of the opposition but also because Guardiola’s team have struggled on their travels.
Of the five games City have failed to win this season, four have been away from home, including their 1-0 loss at Villa which saw Haaland's name missing from the scoresheet for the first time in 13 matches.
You can get 5/1 for Norway ace Haaland, who has struck 24 goals for club and country this season, to net in both halves against Villa.

Bournemouth Form Guide
The Cherries’ season got off to an inauspicious start with a 4-2 defeat at Liverpool on the opening day and an early Carabao Cup exit at home to Brentford soon after.
However, things look very different for Andoni Iraola’s side now with the south-coast outfit unbeaten in seven matches and sitting pretty in the top two of the Premier League.
Their last two away games have been entertaining affairs with dramatic finishes, 2-2 at Leeds and 3-3 at Crystal Palace, and if you fancy an Etihad score draw then you can get odds of 9/2.
