Man City vs Bournemouth: Prediction, kick off time, TV, live stream, team news and h2h results today

Manchester City are strong favourites to register a second successive win to begin the new Premier League season as they host newly-promoted Bournemouth today.

Erling Haaland made the perfect start to life at the Etihad Stadium with two goals as West Ham were brushed aside last weekend, and the striker now lies in wait again for a Cherries team who are winless in 17 games against City.

Bournemouth boss Scott Parker will be very pleased with how his team opened back in the top-flight, easily dispatching Aston Villa on home soil, but now face arguably their toughest test all season. Perhaps good to get it out the way early.

Date, kick-off time and venue

Manchester City vs Bournemouth is scheduled for a 3pm BST kick-off time today, Saturday, August 13, 2022.

The Etihad Stadium in Manchester will host the match.

Man City vs Bournemouth prediction

You just can’t see past City here. Bournemouth did well against a poor Aston Villa team last time out but this is an entirely different beast.

City should pick off the Cherries' low block and this could be done and dusted before half-time.

City to win 4-0.
