What will decide it?

Home edge
Edge: Even

Goal expectancy
Edge: Even
At 2.8 expected goals, the 2.5 line is close to a toss-up (53% for the over).
Quality gap
Edge: Man City

How do the two teams set up?
Confirmed line-ups land about an hour before kick-off.
Home
AFC Bournemouth
Expect Bournemouth to stay compact at Vitality Stadium and look for a moment rather than control the game.
Away
Manchester City
Man City are built to control games. They should hold most of the ball on their trip to Vitality Stadium and pin Bournemouth back for long periods.
What would change our mind?
The developments we would react to before kick-off.
If Man City name a weakened XI
Rotation or a key absence would take several points off their win chance; check line-ups an hour before kick-off.
If Bournemouth score first
The favourite has to chase, and both the draw and the upset become much more likely.
If a red card comes in the first hour
Ten men changes the expected-goals picture entirely, whichever side it hits.
The story of Bournemouth vs Man City
AFC Bournemouth take on Manchester City in front of their own fans, and the Wazir Win numbers lean Man City's way. The gap in expected goals (1.10 for Bournemouth, 1.71 for Man City) is the clearest signal, and it is what produces our 52% for Man City. Bournemouth's best route is to keep it level into the last half-hour, when the draw becomes a live result.
