I'm already on Bourenmouth for the .75 goal spread, but let's go one step further for the sprinkle. On one side we have a Bournemouth side who are on one of the largest unbeaten streaks in the Premier League, fighting for a spot in UCL. On the other side, we have a Manchester City side who has already won two trophies, but who also looked exhausted in their last fixture against Chelsea. The lack of rest not only in between games, but also before the World Cup has City players desperate for a break. I expect the Cherries to play them extremely physically, and give them hell for 90 minutes.
I wrote a full article about this so go check it out under the "Analysis" tab! Long story short, I know City are good and I know that they are favorites, but they are also exhausted after their schedule and little rest after the FA Cup final. While City's season is mostly likely done without a miracle from Burnley or Crystal Palace, Bournemouth season still has a lot at stake. Bournemouth could qualify for UCL play next season if they catch up to Liverpool, so expect the team in impeccable form, at home, to give City a ride for their money. I have Bournemouth getting at least a point out of this match.
