Match preview: Bournemouth vs Manchester City

Bournemouth and Manchester City meet at the Vitality Stadium for an FA Cup match. Historically, encounters at this venue favour the visiting side, with the last three matches resulting in two victories for Manchester City and one for Bournemouth. However, in their most recent clash at this ground on 2 November 2024, AFC Bournemouth emerged victorious with a 2-1 scoreline. Goals from Evanilson (64′) and Antoine Semenyo (9′) sealed the win for Bournemouth, while J. Gvardiol (82′) scored for Manchester City. It’s worth noting that both teams exhibit considerably different results when playing at home versus away.

Team analysis: Bournemouth

The home team arrives at this FA Cup quarterfinal after eliminating Wolverhampton Wanderers, winning 5-4 on penalties after a draw in regular time. Interestingly, Bournemouth have recorded more positive results away than at home in their last 30 matches, with 7 wins, 4 draws, and 4 losses as visitors, scoring 31 and conceding 23, compared to 7 wins, 3 draws, and 5 home losses, scoring 23 and conceding 13. The team comes into this fixture following a home loss to Brentford (1-2). In their last 10 matches across all competitions at home, Bournemouth has registered 5 wins, 2 draws, and 3 losses. However, they have conceded goals in 8 of these last 10 encounters, indicating that their defence needs improvement, even though their attack has frequently found the net, scoring in 8 of those 10 games. Of note, they have conceded the first goal in 6 out of 15 matches and have only managed to turn the scoreline around once.

Bournemouth heads into this match following a 1-2 defeat against Brentford in the Premier League. It’s important to highlight that the home team reached this phase of the FA Cup after eliminating Wolverhampton in the previous round. Bournemouth typically employs a 4-3-3 formation, with Dango Ouattara, Antoine Semenyo, and Evanilson leading the attack. The key figure in their offensive plays is midfielder Ryan Christie, who plays a crucial role in creating goal-scoring opportunities. All players are available for selection in this match.

Team analysis: Manchester City

The visitors arrive at this FA Cup quarterfinal following a comfortable 3-1 home victory against Plymouth Argyle. Manchester City has proven to be a notably stronger side on home turf; in their last 30 matches, they have achieved 8 wins, 3 draws, and 4 losses when playing at home, whereas their away performance has yielded only 4 wins, 2 draws, and 9 losses. Their most recent match saw them draw 2-2 at home against Brighton & Hove Albion in the Premier League. In the last 10 away games, Manchester City has earned 4 wins, 1 draw, and 5 losses. Although they have displayed some defensive frailties, conceding in 8 of those games, their attack has remained potent, scoring in 8 of their last 10 matches. Trends suggest a high-scoring match is on the cards, as 27 of their last 29 away games have concluded with more than 1.5 goals, and 20 have featured over 2.5 goals. They have shown resilience by coming back to win 4 times after conceding the first goal in 8 attempts.

Manchester City enters this match after a 2-2 draw against Brighton in the Premier League. The visiting team has progressed to this stage of the FA Cup after overcoming Plymouth Argyle in the previous round. Typically, Manchester City lines up in a 4-3-3 formation, with Jack Grealish, Erling Haaland, and Savinho being the primary attacking threats. Midfielder Kevin de Bruyne plays a pivotal role in orchestrating the team’s movements and creating goal-scoring chances. Unfortunately, they will be without Manuel Akanji, John Stones, Nathan Aké, and Rodrigo, all of whom are sidelined due to injuries.
