Bournemouth vs. Manchester City Preview
In 2023, a lot of people hailed Bournemouth's stellar performances in the Premier League, which included defeating Manchester United at Old Trafford.
Although the club's performances in 2024 are not up to standard, the team has played six matches without a single win in the Premier League.
The Bournemouth team almost had a victory against Newcastle United in the Premier League, with Dominic Solanke scoring the opener for the Bournemouth side in the second half.
Newcastle came back into the game with a well-executed penalty from Anthony Gordon in the 58th minute of the match.
Bournemouth attacker Semenyo scored in the 69th minute of the game, with the club eyeing a win.
However, Bournemouth got stunned by Newcastle in the 90th minute of the match to secure a point.
Bournemouth's poor defensive ability ended their chance of securing a win.
Manchester City, on the other hand, struggled to secure an exceptional result in their last two previous matches. Before the match against Chelsea, the Manchester City side played 10 matches in the Premier League without losing.
However, the performance against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, followed by a 1-0 victory against Brentford, indicates Manchester City needs to do more if Pep Guardiola wants to fight for the Premier League title till the end of the season.
The match against Bournemouth is a must-win for Manchester City. The previous match between these two teams ended in a 6-1 victory for Manchester City.
