Man City vs Bournemouth Prediction, 11:30 p.m. November 2: Mission Impossible

TPO - Football commentary Man City vs Bournemouth, Premier League - Team information, expected lineup, form, history of confrontation. Can Bournemouth maintain 2nd place after round 10 of the Premier League? This task is quite difficult for The Cherries when they have to play away at Etihad Stadium, against a much stronger Manchester City.

Pre-match comments Man City vs Bournemouth

Compared to the dire crisis Manchester City endured last season, Pep Guardiola's side are in much better shape. However, they are still not at their peak. City simply lack consistency, with their best winning streak this season being just three.

In the previous round, they suffered an away defeat against Aston Villa (0-1). With Erling Haaland unable to score, the team left the field with a loss. It can be said that the dependence on Haaland is a double-edged sword for Man City.

The midweek League Cup match against Swansea (3-1) did not go smoothly for Guardiola's team either. Man City still won and advanced to the quarter-finals, but they only took the lead in the 79th minute. The main character was Ryan Cherki, who returned to the starting lineup after injury. He contributed 1 goal and 1 assist.

On the other side of the front line, Bournemouth bring a much more stable feeling. Bournemouth is on an impressive 8-game unbeaten streak in the Premier League, a record that no other team in the league can match.

Form, history of confrontation between Man City vs Bournemouth

However, it should be noted that coach Andoni Iraola's team has struggled on the road, winning only 1 of their last 4 away games. That victory was against a tough opponent, Tottenham. Although the score was only a modest 1-0, Bournemouth still dominated, showing their superiority in the statistics.

In their most recent game, the team played at home and easily defeated a struggling Nottingham Forest. Antoine Semenyo remained quiet on the scoresheet, but 19-year-old Elie Kroupi scored to earn the home side all three points.

It can be said that Bournemouth is a very balanced team at the moment. If one factor is figured out, another can step up to be the support for the team. Thanks to that, Bournemouth is only below Arsenal. Before entering round 10, they were above Chelsea, above Liverpool and above Man City with the 2nd position on the table.

But in terms of confrontation, this club is really afraid of Man City because they lost 6 out of the last 7 meetings, most of them were heavy losses. Obviously, Bournemouth is not confident enough to travel to Man City's field.

Man City vs Bournemouth squad information

Pep Guardiola has confirmed that both Erling Haaland and Rodri are fit for the weekend, meaning the Spaniard has a full squad to choose from. Rayan Cherki was City's best player against Swansea and deserved to start.

Donnarumma will return to goal after a game of rest. On the other side of the front line, coach Andoni Iraola is in a similar situation with most of his squad able to play. The only absentee is striker Evanilson, who is recovering from a calf injury.

Expected lineup Man City vs Bournemouth

Man City: Donnarumma; Nunes, Stones, Dias, Gvardiol; Savinho; Silva, Reijnders, Foden, Cherki; Haaland

Bournemouth: Petrovic; Jimenez, Diakite, Senesi, Truffert; Adams, Scott; Tavernier, Kluivert, Semenyo; Kroupi

Score prediction: Man City 1-1 Bournemouth
