England - FA Cup

Bournemouth host Manchester City on Sunday evening in the last FA Cup quarter final of the weekend. The Cherries are enjoying a fantastic season, but a run of four Premier League games without a win has seen them drop to tenth in the table and they face a staff battle to claim one of the European places. Instead, Andoni Iraola may see the Cup as his side's best chance of qualifying for the Europa League next season. Bournemouth has overcome Premier League opposition twice already (Everton and Wolves) so will go into this game confident of reaching the semi finals for the first time in their history.
It has been a chastening season for Manchester City and the Cup represents their last chance of ending the campaign with a trophy. They had to survive a few nervy moments in their last sixteen clash with Plymouth, but eventually prevailed 3-1 thanks to two goals from Nico O'Reilly.

Our Bournemouth vs Manchester City Prediction
The Cherries have experienced a drop in form over the last few weeks, but we expect them to be at their best for this huge game. In contrast, it is hard to see City being able to emerge from the slumber that has seen them endure their worst season since Pep Guardiola took charge of the team. Bournemouth had the upper hand when the teams met at the Vitality in November, and we think the same result will occur on Sunday. The bookies have City as favorites, but in our opinion, the value lies in backing the underdog. Our prediction for Bournemouth vs Manchester City is: Bournemouth to win.
