by Kennedy Kechula in Premier League Predictions
Manchester City are sure to finish this as the worst season since Pep Guardiola took charge. With two Premier League matches to wrap up their season, they can only play for a strong finish when they host Bournemouth before heading to Fulham. We have the preview and a prediction for their home match against Bournemouth.
On Saturday, Manchester City lost in the FA Cup final, confirming a trophyless campaign. Guardiola’s side has failed to score in back-to-back games for the first time this season. It isn’t a very good view for City, and if things don’t change soon, they may even miss out on the Champions League.
Bournemouth start the weekend in 11th place. They still have hopes for Europe, though very slim. The biggest chunk of such hopes was dealt a blow by Crystal Palace winning the FA Cup. Now Bournemouth and a few others are crossing their fingers for Chelsea to win the Conference League and finish below fifth.

Manchester City - Bournemouth: Form Analysis
City were expected to save an already poor season by winning the FA Cup, but that, too, didn’t end well. They were beaten 1-0 by a much-improved Crystal Palace side in the final.
That result confirmed they would be ending the campaign trophyless, a scene not so common to their fans. With a game in hand, City, who had won four straight league titles before this season, start the weekend in sixth.
Having failed to score in their last two matches, City will know where to start their recovery from. In the reverse match, Manchester City lost 2-1 away to Bournemouth. They, however, got a measure of revenge in their elimination of Bournemouth from the FA Cup.
City and Bournemouth are facing off for the third time this season.
Bournemouth have hosted this fixture the last three times these teams met. Now they have the tough trip away to Manchester, hoping they can complete a double over the former champions.
In each of their last eight away matches at City, Bournemouth lost. While they depend on other sets of results to lift their European hopes, Bournemouth haven't done well themselves.
They are coming off a 1-0 home loss to Aston Villa, though in their last away match, they did well in beating Arsenal 2-1. That happens to be their only win in five league games on the road. The Cherries have two wins only in their last 11 league games.

Manchester City & Bournemouth Squad Analysis
City will, in this game, be seeking a player to stand up and save what remains of their campaign. They’ve failed to score in their last two matches and even lost a penalty last time out.
Their latest goal was scored by Kevin De Bruyne, who is set to play his last home game for City. Against Bournemouth, De Bruyne has had seven goal contributions in nine appearances, scoring three and adding four assists.
While he hasn’t had a great season, troubled with injury, De Bruyne has still had a big impact. He has seven assists and scored four league goals.
City will still miss John Stones, Nathan Ake and Rodri.
At Bournemouth, the big team news this week was the confirmation that defender Dean Huijsen will leave for Real Madrid. It is a big money move and has been welcomed by all at the club. It thus means the final two matches of the season will entail his farewell.
Upfront, Evanilson will be seeking a third straight goal against Manchester City this season. The Brazilian has a good run of form away from home too. He scored four times in the last four away league matches.
Meanwhile, lead scorer Justin Kluivert has 12 league goals this season. Ten of them came in the last 13 away matches.

Our Manchester City vs Bournemouth Prediction
Bournemouth claimed a league double over Arsenal, and those two wins account for four victories in their 11 matches against teams currently in the top six. They will want to do the same to City, but then this will be a tougher one, considering their recent form.
Manchester City may have been shocked in the FA Cup final but have a good run at home and will be looking to bounce back here. They have everything to play for and a good run against Bournemouth. Our prediction for Manchester City v Bournemouth is that Manchester City wins the match.
Manchester City vs Bournemouth - Other Interesting Predictions
Justin Kluivert to score
Bournemouth aren’t known for sitting back. They have failed to score in just one of their last 14 away league matches. One name that has constantly been on the score sheet away from home is Justin Kluivert’s.
He has 10 goals in away league games. In his team’s last away match of the season, the Dutchman will want to do well. Having started from the bench last time, he will be gunning for a start, and we are backing him to score.
