Correct Score Prediction
AI-calculated probability per scoreline
Probabilities are skewed toward a 2-goal away win (1-3, 0-2) and high-scoring away outcomes because City must chase a win at all costs, while Bournemouth's missing midfield pivots (Christie/Jimenez) leave them vulnerable to City's central overloads.

Key Factors
Manchester City's must-win title race scenario vs. Bournemouth's 16-game unbeaten club-record streak.
Tactical mismatch: Bournemouth's league-worst set-piece defense vs. City’s high-efficiency dead-ball routines.
The 'Semenyo Narrative': Former Bournemouth star Antoine Semenyo returns to the Vitality Stadium in peak form after scoring City's FA Cup winner.
Midfield Impact: The absence of Bournemouth’s engine Ryan Christie (suspension) vs. the potential fatigue-restricted minutes of City's Rodri.
Injuries & Absentees
Bournemouth faces a significant blow with Ryan Christie suspended and Lewis Cook a major doubt (thigh), stripping their midfield of its defensive intensity. For Manchester City, Rodri is fit but fatigued after the FA Cup final (only 65 mins played), likely leading to a tactical rotation with Nico O'Reilly or Matheus Nunes. Josko Gvardiol is back but may start on the bench to manage his recent return from injury.
