- 2.5以下的进球已经落在了曼城的7个席位上；包括他们之前的四次在内的最后九次
- 伯恩茅斯在之前的五场比赛中有四场比赛的进球数低于2.5球

曼城需要摆脱温布利的挫折
曼彻斯特城；周六，他们以1比0输给水晶宫，这让他们的赛季再次受挫。对他们来说，这是一个糟糕的周末，切尔西、阿斯顿维拉和诺丁汉森林队的胜利给他们在前五名的竞争中带来了巨大的压力。
城市可以’；我不能再纠结于温布利的失利，因为他们；在与伯恩茅斯队的这场比赛之前，他们将重新坐在积分榜的第六位，伯恩茅斯方面也有自己的欧洲野心。如果失败，曼城将需要在其他地方取得成绩，才能在最后一天继续前进，而事实并非如此；这并不理想，因为他们对富勒姆的访问可能会很棘手。
樱桃队以明显的休息优势前往阿提哈德，而他们在第八名中仅得两分；尽管有宫殿，它仍然是一个潜在的欧洲景点；s杯的成功。
樱桃获胜’；不要赌博
伯恩茅斯在周末后跌至第11位；结果，但他们；我们仍然处于争夺第八名的有利位置。他们只差布伦特福德两分，还有一场比赛，同时他们也有更大的净胜球。最后一天主场对阵莱斯特城应该能保证另一场胜利，所以樱桃队仍然希望下赛季能在欧洲冒险。
唐’；我不希望游客们为了三分而冒险前往曼城，就像Andoni Iraola一样；s队在防守端比他们更负责任；他们经常受到赞扬。他们的比赛一直很紧张，在过去的五场比赛中，有四场比赛的进球数不到2.5个。
客队也缺乏他们在赛季中期表现出的进攻优势。他们’；在过去的四场比赛中，我都没有达到1.0个预期目标，在这段时间里只取得了2.9 x G的成绩。
De Bruyne；阿提哈德再见
尽管埃尔林·哈兰德（Erling Haaland）表现不佳，但曼城队在前场看起来也有点紧张；我们回到一边去。在过去的九场比赛中，有七场比赛的进球数低于2.5个，包括之前的四场比赛。在与南安普顿和水晶宫的冲突中未能得分；这对曼城来说并不是一个很好的反映，同时也表明这场比赛可能很难打开大门。
城市’；与联盟的冲突；在最后一场主场比赛中，他们不得不以1比0战胜狼队。市民队感谢Kevin De Bruyne那天的胜利，而他在南海岸的那场平局中带领球队投篮。
这场冲突是De Bruyne；今年夏天，他将在阿提哈德体育场进行最后一场比赛。鉴于曼城最近缺乏激情，比利时人在这片土地上创造最后一块魔法是合适的。他’；在任何时候，这都是一个出色的射手选择，而考虑到曼城，2.5球以下的进球是一个很大的代价；这是一系列乏味的游戏。
- Under 2.5 goals has landed in seven of City’s last nine, including their previous four
- Bournemouth have seen under 2.5 goals land in four of their previous five starts
- The Cherries have failed to create 1.0 xG across any of their last four fixtures
- City have failed to score against Crystal Palace and Southampton in their last two games
City need to shake Wembley setback
Manchester City’s season took another hit on Saturday, with their 1-0 loss to Crystal Palace leaving them trophyless. It was a bad weekend for them overall, as wins for Chelsea, Aston Villa, and Nottingham Forest put them under huge pressure in the race for the top five.
City can’t afford to dwell on that Wembley loss, as they’re sitting sixth in the table ahead of this clash with a Bournemouth side that have European ambitions of their own. A defeat would leave City needing results elsewhere to go their way on the final day, which isn’t ideal as their visit to Fulham could be tricky.
The Cherries head to the Etihad with a clear rest advantage, while they are just two points out of eighth – which remains a potential European spot despite Palace’s cup success.
Cherries won’t gamble
Bournemouth slipped to 11th after the weekend’s results, but they’re still in a good position to fight for eighth. They are only two points shy of Brentford with a game in hand, while they also have a superior goal difference. A final day home encounter with Leicester should guarantee another victory, so the Cherries can still hope for a European adventure next season.
Don’t expect the visitors to head to City taking risks for the three points, as Andoni Iraola’s side are more responsible defensively that they’re often given credit for. Their games have been quite tight down the stretch, with under 2.5 goals landing in four of their last five starts.
The visitors are also lacking a bit of the attacking edge they displayed in the middle of the campaign. They’ve failed to hit 1.0 Expected Goals in any of their last four matches, recording only 2.9 xG across that stretch.
De Bruyne’s Etihad farewell
City are also looking a little more tense up front, despite Erling Haaland’s return to the side. Under 2.5 goals has landed in seven of their last nine matches, including each of their previous four. Failing to score in clashes with Southampton and Crystal Palace isn’t a great reflection on this City side, while it suggests this game may also struggle to open up.
City’s clash with the league’s worst team finished with them posting 1.7 xG, while they had to grind out a 1-0 victory over Wolves in their last home match. The Citizens had Kevin De Bruyne to thank for the winner that day, while he led the team in shots in that draw on the south coast.
This clash is De Bruyne’s final game at the Etihad Stadium before he leaves on a free this summer. Given the lack of spark City have shown of late, it would be fitting for the Belgian to produce one final piece of magic at this ground. He’s a standout anytime goalscorer option, while under 2.5 goals is a big price given City’s run of stodgy games.
