The Premier League continues on Tuesday as Man City travel to take on Bournemouth in a game that sees second place take on sixth.
Man City are -130 favorites on the moneyline for this one on DraftKings Sportsbook, with a draw available at +320. Fancy a Bournemouth upset? The Cherries are +310 to pick up three points.
Bournemouth vs. Man City Prediction, Pick
This article was written before the Arsenal/Burnley game on Monday, but I’m going to go ahead and assume that the Gunners take care of business at home against a side that’s already been relegated. If that’s the case, the Premier League title could be decided in this game. If Arsenal win and Man City lose or draw, the Gunners will be crowned champions.
It’s a tough matchup for City, going away to a team that is unbeaten in 16 straight Premier League games. You have to go back to January to find the last loss for the Cherries. That kind of form going into this game is something not to be understated, but Man City are on a run of their own. The Citizens have won nine of their last 10 games in all competitions, with the only blip being a 3-3 draw against Everton. The thing for City in this game is that a draw is not good enough. Regardless of the Arsenal result, three points are critical. They will do everything in their power to get those points, and I think they will.
Bournemouth have a lot at stake as well, as they are playing for European football. There’s still a chance that sixth place could get Champions League football next season, although it requires a couple of Aston Villa’s fixtures to go their way. Regardless, a spot in the Europa League would be a huge step for the club.
Man City have won four of the last five meetings between these teams, and I expect another win on Tuesday. It won’t be easy, and this should be a close game, but City should have just enough in the attacking areas to get the win.
