England:
Premier League
Match
start: 13:30 (GMT+2)
According
to two last rounds of new EPL tournament at the top of the tournament
bracket is now the triumvirate of leaders – Manchester United,
Huddersfield and West Bromwich. These favorites have now 6 points
that is 100% outcome.
But
the other football club from Manchester during the second round had
lost 2 points at home meeting against Everton (1:1). More than that,
during the whole 2nd
half the team of Josep Guardiola was catching the opponent and was
able to even the score only on the 82nd
minute after an accurate goal kicked by Raheem Sterling.
Moods
of the English calendar
After
this draw the Citizens had increased the number of their points up to
4 points and now they take the 5th
position. The meeting of the teams of Josep Guardiola and Ronald
Koeman was held on Monday (late in the evening) and was closing the
program of matches of the second round.
That
is why, according to all laws of the logics, its next calendar match
Manchester City has to play on Sunday afternoon, as minimum. But the
bosses of EPL once again behaved oddly and had planned the away match
of the Citizens against Bournemouth on Saturday at 13:30 (GMT+2).
Possible
opponents in the Champions League
In
accordance with the UEFA club ranking the team of Josep Guardiola
will be in the second basket during the forthcoming draw (24th
of August). And this means that at the group stage of the Champions
League the Citizens will surely meet with Barcelona, Atlético
Madrid, PSG, Borussia Dortmund, Sevilla, Porto.
But
the possible opponents of Manchester City may be Real Madrid, Bayern,
Juventus, Roma, Napoli, Monaco, Benfica, Shakhtar Donetsk and Spartak
Moscow.
Match
prediction
Manchester
city is an obvious favorite in the match against the team of Eddie
Howe. Bournemouth is playing its 3rd
season at elite League of the English football. And two previous
meetings of the current opponents on Dean Court finished with two
decisive victories of the guests:
02.04.2016.
Bournemouth – Manchester City – 0:4 (Fernando, De Bruyne, Agüero,
Kolarov);
13.02.2017.
Bournemouth – Manchester City – 0:2 (Mings – own net goal,
Sterling);
The
team of Eddie Howe had by turns lost to West Bromwich (0:1) and
Watford (0:2). Now the hosts of Dean Court do not demonstrate their
best fit, all the more so as to fight against bright favorite.
Bournemouth
– 8.00, draw – 5.25, Manchester City –1.40;

tip: Man.
City (Asian handicap -1,5) – odds 1.94 Pinnacle
