Manchester City Poised to Cruise Past Bournemouth: 14-Match Winning Streak on the Line

Manchester City’s relentless juggernaut rolls on as they face Bournemouth on Saturday, aiming to keep the pressure on Liverpool in the Premier League title race.

Despite a surprising draw against Chelsea last week, Pep Guardiola’s men remain a force to be reckoned with, boasting an impressive 11 wins and 1 draw in their last 12 outings across all competitions.

Bournemouth, however, come into this match winless in six consecutive games. Despite a valiant effort against Newcastle last weekend, they were denied victory in the dying moments. While they sit comfortably above the relegation zone, their defensive frailties are a cause for concern, with the fourth-worst defensive record in the league (46 goals conceded).

Historically, Manchester City have dominated this matchup, winning a staggering 14 straight encounters against Bournemouth. The Citizens also boast a perfect winning record in their last three meetings, scoring at least four goals in each encounter. This doesn’t bode well for the Cherries, whose leaky defense could be exposed by City’s prolific attack.

Prediction:

• Manchester City to win: With their dominant historical record, current form, and potent attack, City are clear favorites. Expect a comfortable victory for the visitors.
• Over 3.5 goals: Considering Bournemouth’s defensive struggles and City’s attacking prowess, a high-scoring match is likely.

Alternative Bet:

• Manchester City to lead at half-time and win: This option offers slightly higher odds and reflects City’s dominance in the early stages of matches.
