Bournemouth vs Man City Bet Builder Tips: Foden and Alvarez star in 9/1 #PickYourPunt

Manchester City will look to maintain their perfect winning record over AFC Bournemouth in the Premier League when the sides meet at the Vitality Stadium on Saturday (KO, 17:30).

With 13 games played previously between the teams in the Premier League, City have won all 13 matches, which does not bode well for Andoni Iraola ahead of this weekend’s game on the south coast.

The Cherries are without a win in 2024 so far, while City are showing signs they are going through the gears at a time of the season they tend to do just that.

All signs are pointing to another comprehensive City win over the Cherries this weekend and, with four components, here’s our 9/1 Bet Builder created from Betfred’s #PickYourPunt feature.

Man City to win

Given their perfect winning record against Bournemouth and the contrasting current form between the teams, Man City to win forms the foundation of Saturday’s Bet Builder.

The reigning European champions Man City are unbeaten in their last 16 games in all competitions, while the Cherries are still seeking that elusive first win of the year.

The Citizens romped to a 6-1 win against the Cherries at the Etihad Stadium earlier this season and a similar scoreline might well be on the cards this weekend.

Both teams to score

Despite City’s dominance in this fixture, Bournemouth have caused Pep Guardiola’s star-studded squad problems at times.

Five of the last six encounters between these two sides in all competitions have ended with both teams getting on the scoresheet.

With Dominic Solanke, who appears to be attracting interest from top clubs ahead of the summer transfer window, in decent form and City having kept just two clean sheets in their last six Premier League games, both teams to score makes the cut here.

Phil Foden anytime goalscorer

While there will be plenty backing Erling Haaland to add to his 17 Premier League goals for the season, it’s Phil Foden who might well be a thorn in the Cherries’ side again this weekend.

Foden has a habit of driving from midfield and picking up pockets of space in and around the box, which should cause Bournemouth problems again.

The England star has scored in all of his last four games against Bournemouth in all competitions and, given his current excellent form, can strike again at the Vitality.

Julian Alvarez 1+ assists

Playing in a deeper role since the return of Haaland from injury, perhaps Julian Alvarez does not get the credit he deserves for the amount of assists he produces.

No player has created more assists for City in the Premier League this season than Alvarez’s seven and the Argentine to add another to his collection on Saturday completes this #PickYourPunt selection.
