Manchester City are heading into this match in a tough spell, having lost their last two games by a score of 3-0 each and only managing two draws before that. They are clearly struggling to find their form. Bournemouth, on the other hand, are in a bit of a rut themselves, with their last five games showing three draws, a loss, and just one win. Neither team is in great shape right now.

When these two sides meet, it often leads to a lot of goals. Their recent history shows a 1-1 draw, but before that, Bournemouth won two games with a 3-1 scoreline, and there was also a big 6-1 win for the home side. Given City's poor form and the fact that their recent meetings tend to be high-scoring and competitive, this looks like a very open game. It will likely be a draw.
