Top 2 Bournemouth vs Man City Picks for March 30

1. City (+133) to Win

We are reaching the home stretch of the campaign, and one thing’s clear: Manchester City have a lot of work to do. After entering the March international break on the back of a defeat at Nottingham Forest and a draw to Brighton, the Citizens sit fifth in the Premier League table.

They are one point behind Chelsea and two points above Newcastle (who have a game in hand) and Brighton, per EPL betting tips. City are looking to qualify for the Champions League for the 15th straight season, and they’re also looking to avoid their first trophyless season since 2016-17.

We’re backing City to shake off their recent woes and edge Bournemouth to a place in the FA Cup semifinals in our soccer betting picks. Whilst the Cherries have certainly caused City some issues in recent months, City typically come alive in high-stakes matches like this, and they will have learned from their mistakes in their previous defeat.

Expect to see a far more composed and unfettered City side, one that is capable of working its way out of Bournemouth’s aggressive press and maneuvering its way to the final third. City have reached the FA Cup semifinals in each of the last six seasons, and we’re backing that trend to continue in our FA Cup betting picks.

Bet On City to Win (+133)

2. Erling Haaland to Score

All signs point to this one being a high-scoring fixture. Seven of the last eight matches between these two sides have produced over 2.5 goals, whilst six of the last eight have seen both teams score, per Bournemouth vs Man City stats. But if there’s one player who’s capable of finding the back of the net, it’s Erling Haaland.

The Norwegian striker has been in sensational form with eight goals and three assists in his last 11 appearances for Manchester City. He then headed to international break and bagged a goal apiece in Norway’s two World Cup qualifiers vs. Moldova and Israel.

With Bournemouth looking to aggressively man-mark and bring the pressure, City will likely have plenty of space in behind to exploit. We’re backing Haaland to do that and find the back of the net in our soccer expert picks.

Bet on Haaland to score (-105)
