The exact scores our goals model rates most likely, in order - soccer scorelines are inherently hard to call, so treat these as the shape of the game rather than a promise.

The Read

Man City have the home advantage here, but there's nothing in the underlying pattern to suggest they'll dominate this one decisively. Bournemouth look capable of staying compact and making this a scrap, which points toward a tight, low-margin affair - a 1-1 draw feels like the natural landing spot. The key thing to watch is whether City's home-field pressure forces Bournemouth into early mistakes or whether the visitors can frustrate them into a stalemate.
