Bournemouth vs Manchester City | GSB Zambia Predictions Today

On March 30, 2025, the Vitality Stadium sets the stage for a thrilling FA Cup quarter-final, Bournemouth vs Manchester City. One team dreams of making history, while the other eyes redemption. With both sides chasing glory, the stakes couldn’t be higher. ⚽

This is only Bournemouth’s third quarter-final appearance ever, and they’ll want to capitalize on their home advantage.

Bournemouth vs Manchester City: Form Guide

Bournemouth’s Recent Struggles

The Cherries have hit a rough patch, going winless in their last six games (WLLDDL). Defensively, they’ve looked shaky—conceding in each of those matches and leaking 40% of their goals from set pieces. That kind of vulnerability can be costly against a team that thrives on exploiting small gaps.

Still, there are bright spots. Evanilson has been red-hot with 8 goal contributions in 14 matches, and their home form remains solid with three straight wins at the Vitality Stadium. That includes a 2-1 win over Arsenal, which shows they can rise to the occasion.

Manchester City’s Mixed Bag

City, while not in title contention, are fully focused on the FA Cup. They’ve won 14 straight away matches in the competition, scoring 40 goals across those fixtures. 😲 But they’re not invincible. Recent form in all competitions (LLWWLD) shows cracks in their usually solid armor.

Injuries to key defenders like Aké, Stones, and Akanji leave them vulnerable at the back. Their midfield remains strong, but without their defensive pillars, they’ve been leaking more goals than usual. This could be the perfect moment for Bournemouth to pounce.

Predicted XI

Bournemouth (4-3-3): Kepa; Cook, Hill, Zabarnyi, Soler; Christie, Adams; Semenyo, Kluivert, Tavernier; Evanilson

Injuries/Suspensions: None reported

Manchester City (3-2-4-1): Ederson; Lewis, Khusanov, Dias, Gvardiol; Gonzalez, Gundogan; Savinho, Marmoush, Doku; Haaland

Out: Rodri, Stones, Aké, Akanji
Doubtful: Ederson

Tactical Breakdown: Key Match Dynamics

Bournemouth’s Strength in Transition

The Cherries excel in fast-paced counterattacks. Their 4-3-3 shape allows wide players like Semenyo and Tavernier to run into open space, especially when opponents over-commit. Expect them to focus on transition play to exploit City’s weakened backline.

Manchester City’s Possession Game

City will dominate possession as always. Their structure in the 3-2-4-1 formation helps them flood the midfield, with De Bruyne and Gundogan expected to dictate tempo. The question is—can they break down Bournemouth’s deep block?

Set pieces may also prove crucial. Bournemouth have scored 12 goals from corners this season, while City have conceded 4 from similar plays in their last 10 outings. 🤔

Bournemouth vs Manchester City: Prediction

This game promises goals, drama, and late twists. Bournemouth’s solid home form and City’s defensive absences make for an intriguing matchup.

🔮 Predicted Score: Bournemouth 1–3 Manchester City

With De Bruyne pulling the strings and Haaland hunting goals, City’s firepower should edge it. But don’t be surprised if Bournemouth puts up a serious fight. Their recent performance against Arsenal showed they can cause problems for the big teams.
