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.
What's driving the pick
Bars show how far each factor swings the expected goal supremacy - built from team ratings, season scoring rates, home/away splits, recent form, rest days and home advantage. The final call is also cross-checked against market expectations where available.
