Man City – Bournemouth Tip Premier League, Matchday 1 on Sunday, 23.08.2026 at 15:00 CET
At the start of the new Premier League season, I present you my Manchester City Bournemouth tip. Both teams start the season with new coaches and of course want to start with a sense of achievement. Kick-off at the Etihad Stadium is at 15:00 CET on Sunday.
I have found an interesting bet with an attractive odds that may surprise at first glance. The “Cherries” were in extremely good form at the end of last season and are unbeaten in 18 league games. In addition, they have always scored in the last five direct duels against City. This offensive power makes the bet so appealing to me.

In the Asian market, the Asian Handicap Line is set at -1.0 for City. This means that you get your stake back if City wins by just one goal. A higher victory brings the full profit.
The Asian Handicap Line for over-goals is 3.25. This is the highest value of the entire matchday in the Premier League. If you bet on “Over” here, you need at least four goals in the game to win the bet completely.
In the goalscorer bets, Erling Haaland is the top favorite. His odds on a goal are even lower than the odds on a home win for City. This shows how much the experts expect the Norwegian striker to score.
