ANOTHER short priced favourite, is in action in the Premier League this weekend when Manchester City travel to the Vitality to face Bournemouth.
On a weekend coupon of heavy favourites, the 1.50 that is available with Stan James on the visitors for this one looks a cracking price.
Usually, I wouldn\’t be touching heavy odds-on aways in the most competitive league in the world, but both of these sides are expected to have contrasting ends to the season and Bournemouth are a side that I want to avoid at all costs in the run-in.
Last weekend City left it late to beat Swansea 2-1 at the Etihad and despite what\’s been a disappointing Premier League campaign they still remain in third position in the table and arrive on the south coast with three successive wins under their belt.
I am expecting manager Pep Guardiola to let his star-studded side off the shackles for this one with nine goals scored in those three wins, goals certainly look the way to profit at the weekend.
Nine of City\’s last ten matches have seen over 2.5 goals feature and at 1.57 with Stan James and other green listed bookmakers again that looks the banker in the match for me as it\’s also been a winner in 11 of Bournemouth\’s last 13.
Bournemouth are 7.00 with William Hills to win this match and that is not a price that I would go anywhere near with their current form.
The Cherries are in real danger of being dragged into a relegation battle and with no wins in their last six matches and a staggering 19 goals conceded in those matches this is certainly worrying times for Eddie Howe.
At the weekend Bournemouth defended like school kids in the 6-3 defeat against Everton and another freaky result looks on the cards but with the majority of goals for the visitors and I also like City -1.5 goals on the Asian handicap at 2.20 with Bet365.
City have to go all out and win every remaining game now in Premier League something that they are more than capable of doing since the arrival of new exciting new signing Gabriel Jesus and Bournemouth need to stop the rot or they will be in the Championship something I am not sure they can do.
