Bournemouth vs. Manchester City: Match Preview & Prediction

Today, March 30, 2025, Bournemouth will face Manchester City at the Vitality Stadium in the FA Cup quarter-finals. Kickoff is scheduled for 18:30 local time.

Bournemouth

Under Andoni Iraola, Bournemouth has shown impressive form, currently sitting 10th in the Premier League with 44 points—just four points behind Manchester City in 5th place. In the FA Cup, Bournemouth defeated Everton 2-0 and then overcame Wolves in a tense penalty shootout (6-5) after a 1-1 draw in regulation time.

However, they will have to cope with key absences, as defenders Milos Kerkez and Diego Haisen are suspended.

Manchester City

Pep Guardiola’s side is facing a challenging season. With their Premier League title hopes fading and their Champions League campaign over, the FA Cup remains their only shot at silverware this year.

On their way to the quarter-finals, City demolished Salford (8-0), secured a hard-fought 2-1 win against Leyton Orient, and overcame Plymouth 3-1. However, injuries could be a concern, with Bernardo Silva doubtful, while John Stones, Nathan Aké, and Manuel Akanji are ruled out.

Prediction

Historically, City has dominated this fixture, winning 15 of the last 16 encounters. However, Bournemouth shocked the football world in November 2024 by securing their first-ever victory against City (2-1).

Given the current form and squad issues for both teams, this promises to be a thrilling contest. Experts predict both teams will score, with over 2.5 goals expected.

Key Players

For Bournemouth, Justin Kluivert is the one to watch, with 12 goals and six assists this season. Meanwhile, City will rely on the goal-scoring prowess of Erling Haaland.

With high stakes and both teams motivated, this FA Cup quarter-final is set to be an intense and unpredictable battle.
