class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Manchester City vs Bournemouth is the Sunday pick at the Etihad, with the home side strong favourites against a Bournemouth side that has caused them problems before.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">City start as one of the title favourites, but Bournemouth arrive as a well-drilled top-half side who will not simply roll over. Andy Francis has the best bets, our score prediction and the head-to-head record below. The game kicks off at 2pm BST on Sunday, August 23rd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group sq-ptips2-wrap\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 id=\"h-premium-tips\" class=\"wp-block-heading sq-ptips2__bar\">Premium Tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"sq-ptips2__intro wp-block-paragraph\">Andy is with the home side but expects Bournemouth to have a say, so the goals and Erling Haaland lead the best bets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table sq-ptips2 is-style-stripes\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Premium Tip<\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Odds<\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Why we\u2019re backing it<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\"><strong>Erling Haaland to score anytime<\/strong>, <strong>both teams to score and Tyler Adams to be booked<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">5\/1<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Erling Haaland remains as reliable as ever in front of goal and should have no trouble finding the net against a Bournemouth defence that will spend long spells on the back foot at the Etihad. Bournemouth have shown they can hurt City in recent meetings, though, and with pace and confidence in their own attack they look capable of getting on the scoresheet too. Tyler Adams anchors Bournemouth&#8217;s midfield and will be central to breaking up City&#8217;s rhythm, a job that regularly earns him a place in the referee&#8217;s book. Combining a Haaland goal, both teams scoring and an Adams caution makes for a well-rounded 5\/1.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\"><strong>Marcus Tavernier and Rayan over 0.5 shots on target, Antoine Semenyo over 1.5 shots on target<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">14\/1<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Bournemouth won&#8217;t come to the Etihad simply to defend, and their front three of Marcus Tavernier, Rayan and Antoine Semenyo carry enough pace and quality to trouble City in transition, even against one of the league&#8217;s tightest defensive units. Rayan&#8217;s directness on the break gives him a genuine chance of testing the keeper, while Tavernier&#8217;s willingness to shoot from range should produce at least one effort on target. Semenyo remains Bournemouth&#8217;s most reliable outlet in the final third and has the confidence to get shots away regularly, making his 1.5 mark achievable even in a losing cause at 14\/1.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-fe48e5de wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button sq-ptips2-cta\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"\/en\/go\/bet365?q=gb-all-soa-bst-s-spo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"sponsored nofollow noopener\">Back these tips with bet365 \u2192<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"sq-ptips2__foot wp-block-paragraph\">18+ only.

It&#8217;s all change in the dugout though, with Pep leaving and Enzo Maresca taking charge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Erling Haaland leads the line and is a guarantee of goals, with Omar Marmoush and Phil Foden supporting. City will expect to open with a win, even against tricky opponents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-how-afc-bournemouth-go-into-the-game\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">How AFC Bournemouth go into the game<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bournemouth enjoyed an excellent 2025-26, finishing sixth on 57 points and establishing themselves as a genuine top-half side. They travel to the Etihad with belief rather than fear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rayan carries the main threat and has the pace to trouble City on the break. Bournemouth have caused City problems in recent meetings and will fancy an upset.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"581\" src=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/08\/18120641\/pl07_mancity_bournemouth_card.jpg\" alt=\"Manchester City vs AFC Bournemouth: 2025-26 by the numbers\" class=\"wp-image-1480210\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/08\/18120641\/pl07_mancity_bournemouth_card.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/08\/18120641\/pl07_mancity_bournemouth_card-300x161.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/08\/18120641\/pl07_mancity_bournemouth_card-1024x551.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/08\/18120641\/pl07_mancity_bournemouth_card-768x413.jpg 768w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/08\/18120641\/pl07_mancity_bournemouth_card-400x215.jpg 400w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/08\/18120641\/pl07_mancity_bournemouth_card-372x200.jpg 372w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/08\/18120641\/pl07_mancity_bournemouth_card-112x60.jpg 112w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/08\/18120641\/pl07_mancity_bournemouth_card-150x81.jpg 150w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/08\/18120641\/pl07_mancity_bournemouth_card-138x74.jpg 138w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-manchester-city-vs-afc-bournemouth-head-to-head\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Manchester City vs AFC Bournemouth head-to-head<\/h2>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\">\n<table class=\"has-fixed-layout\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Date<\/th>\n<th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Home<\/th>\n<th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Score<\/th>\n<th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Away<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">19\/05\/26<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">AFC Bournemouth<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">1-1<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Manchester City<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">02\/11\/25<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Manchester City<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">3-1<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">AFC Bournemouth<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">20\/05\/25<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Manchester City<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">3-1<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">AFC Bournemouth<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">30\/03\/25<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">AFC Bournemouth<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">2-1<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Manchester City<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">02\/11\/24<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">AFC Bournemouth<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">2-1<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Manchester City<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">City have won three of the last five meetings, but Bournemouth have taken points too, including a couple of notable wins across competitions.
