Manchester City return to league action at home, aiming to put their FA Cup final disappointment behind them. They currently sit in sixth position, yet are only one point adrift of third place with a game in hand, making this fixture crucial for their European ambitions.
For the Citizens, the objective is clear: a Champions League spot. A win at home would significantly bolster their position against direct competitors in the race for the top five, putting them in a much stronger standing.
While a Conference League spot is mathematically secured, and Europa League qualification is also possible, Manchester City are accustomed to the pinnacle of European football and will be pushing hard for that elite competition.
For Bournemouth, an away victory against such a formidable opponent would be another significant milestone in what has already been a solid season, especially after their impressive win at the Emirates Stadium against Arsenal (1-2) in their most recent away outing.
Despite a disappointing 0-0 away draw against Southampton last time out, Manchester City have extended their unbeaten run to eight matches and have secured victories in their last four home fixtures. Pep Guardiola’s side has shown excellent form, with their points per game over the past eight matches at 2.25, notably higher than their overall season average of 1.81. However, the team has a tendency to concede early goals, with 26% of their conceded goals occurring within the first 15 minutes.
Bournemouth, with an overall points per game of 1.47, have seen a slight dip in form, registering 1.13 points per game over their last eight matches. Their five-match unbeaten run in the league was recently ended by a 0-1 home defeat against Aston Villa.
On the road, the Cherries have been remarkably effective, scoring in 15 of their 18 away matches and remaining undefeated in their last four away trips. A significant 62% of their total goals have been netted away from home.
Manchester City’s tactical approach is built on possession and playing out from the back, with a strong emphasis on control. Bournemouth, conversely, relies on a high press, looking to capitalise on opponents' errors and launch swift, direct attacks once the ball is won back. It will be expected to see City aiming to dominate possession and dictate the tempo, while Bournemouth will seek to disrupt their rhythm and exploit any openings with rapid transitions.
Manchester City's key strength lies in their ability to maintain sustained pressure and control matches through their meticulous possession play. They will need to be particularly vigilant, however, regarding their susceptibility to conceding early goals.
Bournemouth's main asset is their formidable effectiveness away from home and their capacity to turn defensive pressure into dangerous offensive opportunities. They will need to be acutely aware of City's relentless counter-pressing and their disciplined approach to reclaiming the ball immediately after losing it.
The focus of the above average values lays on Manchester City's home matches and Bournemouth's away matches played this season in the league.
For more average values regarding total goals, over under stats at the league level for all teams, you may want to review

Non-crucial goals scored: goals scored that increased an existing lead, or decreased the opponent's existing lead.
Non-crucial goals conceded: goals conceded that decreased an existing lead, or increased the opponent's existing lead.
Note regarding the Goals giving the lead and the Goals giving lead to opponent values: both the team and the opponent team might take the lead more than once during a single match,
so the total number of goals giving the lead to a team might be higher than the number of matches played by the team.
