Just a few days after their heartbreaking defeat against Crystal Palace in the FA Cup final, Manchester City hosts Bournemouth at the Etihad in a match from the 37th round of the Premier League. It’s a must-win situation for the Cityzens so they have to regroup. Let’s preview it in our Best value soccer betting tips and predictions.
On Saturday Man City faced Crystal Palace in the FA Cup final at Wembley, but shockingly conceded a 0-1 defeat and lost the trophy. Pep Guardiola’s team had some good chances for scoring an equalising goal, but Omar Marmoush missed a penalty kick in the first half. Meanwhile Palace’s goalkeeper Dean Henderson made some brilliant saves, including against the young star Claudio Echeverri.
Now City don’t have time to suffer because they have to win their remaining games in the Premier League. Otherwise, they would miss on participating in the Champions League and this would be a pure disaster for the club.
What could Guardiola change against Bournemouth? Jack Grealish could return in the line-up while Claudio Echeverri also waits for his chance to make a Premier League debut.
Bournemouth won’t be an easy opponent to City. The Cherries are one of the proper Premier League teams under the management of Andoni Iraola. They had a lot of good moments this season, and it’s always difficult against them. Bournemouth lost just one of their last five games in the league – against Aston Villa at home.
Justin Kluivert remains a player to watch in Bournemouth’s team. The Dutch striker has scored 12 league goals since the beginning of the season. He will be a major threat to Manchester City’s defense at the Etihad.
