Manchester City was unexpectedly bad this season. They are currently sixth on the table, but with a possible win on Tuesday against Bournemouth, Pep Guardiola's team can jump into the Champions League zone. Manchester City were excellent lately, as they were in ten games in a row without defeat. The positive run broke on Saturday when Guardiola's team surprisingly lost 1-0 in the FA Cup final against Crystal Palace. Manchester City finished the match with an xG of 2.30, while the opponent had only 0.74, so Guardiola's team surely deserved more.
No matter what happens in the season's final two rounds, Bournemouth will be satisfied with their mid-table position. They can't move significantly in the final week, so we should expect Bournemouth with their minds on vacation already. Bournemouth have been on a good run lately, having had five games in a row without defeat. However, in the previous match, Bournemouth lost 1-0 at home against Aston Villa.
Manchester City vs Bournemouth pick: Under 3.5 goals
Both teams have problems with scoring. Manchester City scored only three goals in the last four matches. On the other hand, Bournemouth scored four in the previous five games. We shouldn't expect more than three goals on Tuesday night at Etihad Stadium.

Manchester City team news
Manchester City have some problems with missing players. Nathan Ake, John Stones, and Oscar Bobb are all out for Tuesday. Rodri is close to returning after missing all matches since September. There are reports that Rodri is questionable for the upcoming tie, but it is hard to expect Guardiola to field him after missing almost the whole season due to a knee injury.
