Why We’re Backing Man City Win & BTTS @ 15/8 with Bet365
- The Citizens were unbeaten across all competitions throughout September, and would have preserved this record throughout October had it not been for last weekend’s narrow loss to Aston Villa.
- Manchester City are just one of three Premier League sides – alongside title rivals Arsenal and local adversaries Manchester United – to have reached a double-digit home goals tally this term.
- Although they occupy second place in the Premier League table going into the weekend, Bournemouth have only amassed five points from their first four away fixtures.
- Andoni Iraola’s side have conceded nine times on the road already, with a third of these goals being shipped against Crystal Palace during October’s 3-3 draw in South London. However. They are the division’s second-top scorers, largely thanks to their exploits at the Vitality Stadium.

Why We’re Backing Away Team Over 3.5 Cards @ 4/1 with Paddy Power
- Only Brighton have been issued more yellow cards than Bournemouth this season, with the Cherries receiving 23 bookings in their opening nine league outings. Although this equates to an average of just under three yellow cards per match, expect the visitors to pick up a handful of cautions as they look to disrupt Manchester City’s free-flowing attacking style.
- Bournemouth have conceded an eye-watering 113 fouls, the highest number of any team currently in the Premier League’s top-half. In stark contrast, Manchester City have racked up 81 fouls, fewer than any other outfit in the division.
