Current form
Manchester City entered the new season without Josep Guardiola. Enzo Maresca had enough time to prepare the team for the start, but the townspeople failed the first match under his leadership. In the game for the English Super Cup, there was a defeat with a score of 0:3. The Gunners had the advantage, clearly realized their chances and did not allow the Manchester City attack led by Holland to fully unfold. The match showed that there are problems with the squad. Rodri and Reynders left the club, in fact, only three midfielders remained. The attack is also still unclear: Savio has moved to Tottenham, Marmush plans to leave the club, and Docu will return to action only by mid-September.
Disqualifications and injuries
Doku is injured, Nunez is questionable.
Interesting betting trends
Approximate composition: Donnarumma – Husanov, Dias, Gekhi, O'Reilly – Anderson, Kovacic – Semenyo, Foden, Grealish– Holland.
Current form
Last season, Bournemouth achieved great success, finished in sixth place and for the first time in its history received a ticket to the European Cup. In many ways, the achievements of a modest club by the standards of the Premier League are connected with Andoni Iraola, who left the team. He was replaced by Marco Rosa, who has no experience in the Premier League. The Cherries looked good in the preseason matches, winning three out of five sparring matches. In terms of transfers, it is worth noting that we have managed to strengthen several positions and create a depth of the squad. Juanlu Sanchez, Antonio Silva and Alvaro Rodriguez joined the ranks of the club.
Disqualifications and injuries
Adly, Araujo, Krupi, Milosavljevic, Brooks and Soler are injured, Christie will serve a suspension. Entering the Adams field is questionable.
Interesting betting trends
Approximate composition: Petrovich – Smith, Hill, A. Silva, Truffert – Scott, Cook – Ryan, Kluivert, Tavernier – Evanilson.
Manchester City and Bormut entered the new season with new coaches. The townspeople failed the Super Bowl game, but Arsenal was in contention, and it was clearly too early to write off Mareski's team after one unsuccessful match. Bournemouth, led by Marco Rosa, has not yet played against top rivals, and the specialist himself has no experience in the Premier League. Plus, in general, the cherries are inferior in composition to the upcoming opponent, in which one Holand can provide the result due to individual skill. We believe that Manchester City will not allow itself to misfire on its home field in the opening round.
Our prediction is that Manchester City will win with an Asian handicap (-1) by a factor of 1.75
Bet on the total
Manchester City is playing successfully with Bournemouth, and has won three of the four previous face-to-face meetings, scoring at least two goals three times. We expect in the betting tip that the townspeople today will habitually bet on the attack and score three or four goals against the opponent.
The second bet is the individual total of Manchester City goals over two with a coefficient of 1.68
Betting on corners
Manchester City will obviously play number one on their own field, and they will spend a lot of time at other people's gates. In this scenario, there is a high probability of a landslide victory on the corners. Plus, in nine of the last ten matches, the townspeople performed more serves from the corner flag than their opponents.
Prediction – Manchester City win on corners with a handicap (-3.5) with a coefficient of 1.80
Bet Goals in both halves – yes
In five head-to-head matches in a row, goals were scored in each of the halves.
Bet 1st half: total more than 1.5 goals
In two of the last three face-to-face meetings, more than one goal was scored in the opening 45 minutes.
The bet is an accurate score of 3:1
Manchester City have scored the last two wins in personal meetings with this score
Manchester City and Bournemouth will play in a Premier League match at the Etihad on August 23. The hosts are inferior to the guests in their current form. In the last five face-to-face meetings, City have won three times, one game ended in a draw, and Bournemouth have won the match once.
