Bournemouth vs Manchester City Preview and Team News
Bournemouth Team News
Andoni Ireola will be looking to make club history for Bournemouth this weekend, as they aim to reach the final four of the FA Cup for the first time.
Their recent form would be a concern ahead of this fixture, as they’ve gone four without a win and have suffered three defeats across that period. Their place in the last eight was secured in a successful penalty shootout against Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Despite being one of the most eye-catching teams in the Premier League this season, Bournemouth have underperformed in terms of their open-play xG of 45.82 after scoring 35 goals. But, they’ve impressed defensively after allowing 25 nets from an xGA metric of 29.28.
Marcos Senesi will face a late fitness test on Sunday, but Enes Unal, Adam Smith, and Luis Sinisterra are all expected to miss out due to injuries.

Manchester City Team News
The FA Cup is Manchester City’s only hope of winning silverware this season, but their record in the competition deserves respect.
Pep Guardiola’s side have reached at least the semi-final stage in each of the last six seasons, and have competed in the last two finals. City have failed to win in three of their previous four events. Their place in the last eight was confirmed following a straightforward home win against Plymouth Argyle.

Despite their consistency issues this season, Manchester have still outperformed their xG metric of 44.94 after netting 47. The Premier League champions have also performed well defensively after allowing 32 open-play goals from an xGA of 34.83.
Guardiola will once again be without key players this weekend. Rodri remains out for the remainder of the season. John Stones, Manuel Akanji, and Nathan Ake are set for spells on the sidelines. Oscar Bobb is nearing a return to full fitness.

Manchester City predicted lineup vs Bournemouth: (4-2-3-1): Ortega; Lewis, Khusanov, Dias, Gvardiol; Gonzalez, De Bruyne; Foden, Marmoush, Doku; Haaland.
Bet hereBournemouth vs Manchester City Prediction
- Pick: Manchester City
- Odds: 2.17 (22Bet)
- Score prediction: Bournemouth 1-3 Manchester City
This quarterfinal comes at a difficult point in the season for the hosts, as their results have been poor in recent weeks. They’ve been giving up generous xGAs in their latest three matches, conceding 2.23 and 2.03 in their previous two.
An away win is the preference when making a Bournemouth vs Manchester City prediction. Guardiola’s side have excellent experience at this stage of major tournaments.
Despite a recent defeat against the home squad, the visitors have also won 15 of the last 16 meetings between the teams across all competitions.
Bournemouth vs Manchester City Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Over 2.5 Goals
- Odds: 1.42 (22Bet)
Over 2.5 goals appears to be a standout selection this weekend. Bournemouth have normalised 2.9 goals per game. That average stands at 2.14 based purely on meetings at the Vitality Stadium. Meanwhile, City’s matches have seen around 3.28 per 90.
Both teams to score may be the preferred selection, as the hosts have only kept clean sheets in 21% of their fixtures this season. Manchester have done so in 24%.
