- 伯恩茅斯在过去的11场主场联赛中输掉了两场
- 曼城在过去的九场英超客场比赛中，有八场至少进了两球
- 马特奥·科瓦契奇在最近五次英超联赛中的四次比赛中至少有两次射门
Leaders City远非令人信服
曼城本赛季保持不败；但他们最近在国内出现了奇怪的波动，这可能是伯恩茅斯在活力体育场招待冠军的好时机。
曼城主帅佩普·瓜迪奥拉不得不应对日益繁忙的治疗室，凯尔·沃克、罗德里和凯文·德·布鲁因等关键球员被边缘化，他们最近的一些联赛表现令人信服。
他们在过去的六场联赛中没有以超过一个进球的优势赢得任何一场比赛，他们需要约翰·斯通的后期进球才能在主场为阿森纳赢得一分，并在狼队赢得一场胜利，狼队本赛季尚未取得联赛胜利。
上周主场以1比0战胜排名垫底的南安普顿队，这场比赛并不令人印象深刻，他们还必须从联赛杯输给托特纳姆热刺队的失利中恢复过来，所以参观樱桃山远非一项简单的任务。
樱桃在一个好地方
樱桃人发现自己处于中游，如果他们能坚持到赛季结束，这对他们来说会很好，但安多尼·伊拉奥拉；该公司最近公布了他们在竞选中最令人印象深刻的结果。
两周前，阿森纳队以2比0的比分失利，他们的尾巴夹在两腿之间，离开了活力队，这家南海岸球队也将从埃瓦尼森在阿斯顿维拉的比赛中获得一分中获得足够的信心；伤停补时进球。
他们在过去的11场联赛主场比赛中只遭受了两场失利，所以看起来值得冒险的是，他们可以在对阵曼城的比赛中获得一些东西，曼城将因曼努埃尔·阿坎吉在输给马刺队之前受伤以及萨维尼奥在下半场不得不躺在担架上离开而进一步削弱。
曼城在过去的九场英超客场比赛中，除了一场比赛外，其他比赛都至少进了两球，但樱桃队可以暴露背后的弱点，因此双机会市场是支持主队的最佳方式，而正确的得分爱好者可能希望看到2-2战平。
Kovacic可以留下自己的印记
失去新加冕的Ballon d；或者说，胜利者罗德里在阿提哈德有着强烈的感觉，但克罗地亚中场球员马泰奥·科瓦契奇在额外的责任下似乎正在蓬勃发展。
他的影响力不仅来自防守，因为他在过去五次英超联赛中的四次比赛中至少有两次进球。
这位前切尔西球员在最近3-2战胜富勒姆的比赛中梅开二度，在周六再次进球时，他看起来是一个活泼的局外人。
预言：
AFC伯恩茅斯双机会（赢或平局）
平局2-2
Mateo Kovacic随时得分
外文原文如下：
- Bournemouth have lost two of their last 11 home league games
- Manchester City have scored at least twice in eight of their last nine Premier League away games
- Mateo Kovacic has had at least two shots on goal in four of his last five Premier League appearances
Leaders City are far from convincing
Manchester City remain unbeaten in this season’s Premier League, but they have had the odd domestic wobble lately and this might be a good time for Bournemouth to be entertaining the champions at the Vitality Stadium.
City boss Pep Guardiola is having to cope with an increasingly busy treatment room with key players such as Kyle Walker, Rodri and Kevin de Bruyne being sidelined and some of their recent league performances have been fare from convincing.
They have not won any of their last six league games by more than one goal and needed late John Stones goals to earn a point at home to Arsenal and a win at Wolves, who have yet to post a league victory this season.
A 1-0 home win over bottom-of-the-table Southampton last week was underwhelming and they also have to bounce back from a League Cup defeat at Tottenham, so a visit to the Cherries is far from a straightforward assignment.
Cherries are in a good place
The Cherries find themselves in mid-table, which would do them quite nicely if they held onto it until the end of the season, but Andoni Iraola’s outfit have recently posted their most impressive results of the campaign.
Arsenal left the Vitality with their tail between their legs two weeks ago when they suffered a 2-0 defeat and the south-coast outfit will have also gained plenty of confidence from claiming a point at Aston Villa with Evanilson’s injury-time goal.
They have suffered just two defeats in their last 11 league home games, so it looks worth chancing that they can gain something against City, who are set to be further weakened by Manuel Akanji picking up an injury before the defeat at Spurs and Savinho having to leave on a stretcher during the second half.
City have scored at least twice in all but one of their last nine Premier League away games, but there is a vulnerability at the back which the Cherries can expose, so the double-chance market presents the best way to back the home side while correct-score enthusiasts may wish to look towards a 2-2 draw.
Kovacic can make his mark
The loss of newly crowned Ballon d’Or winner Rodri is keenly felt at the Etihad, but Croatian midfielder Mateo Kovacic looks to be thriving under the extra responsibility.
And his influence has not just come defensively as he has had at least two efforts on goal in four of his last five Premier League appearances.
The former Chelsea man scored twice in the recent 3-2 win over Fulham and looks a lively outsider to find the net again on Saturday.
Predictions:AFC Bournemouth Double Chance (Win or Draw)
Draw 2-2
Mateo Kovacic To Score Anytime
