Manchester City's attacking prowess leaves them no choice. They've scored in nine of their last ten away matches, and Haaland and Semenyo (a former Cherries player, by the way) are in fantastic form. Even despite the home side's incredible 16-match unbeaten run, their defense regularly creates chances for top clubs. In the first half, City scored three goals against Bournemouth, and the visitors are also scoring regularly at the Vitality Stadium.
Bournemouth aren't the type of team to sit back. Under Iraola, the Cherries press and play boldly, scoring in four of their last five matches. The loss of Christie in midfield due to a red card will reduce the quality of their ball-winning play, but the attack, featuring Krupoy and Evanilson, is still dangerous. Remember last season? Bournemouth already beat City at home (2-1). They'll definitely take advantage of their chances in front of Donnarumma's goal.
Manchester City are in a do-or-die situation in the title race; they need to attack with force, leaving space behind. Bournemouth are fighting for European qualification (they're four points behind) and have a knack for punishing the favorites at home. Expect open play and goal-scoring, with over 2.5 goals also looking very likely.
