In the 2025/26 Premier League season the title race remains wide open, and the next stop for Manchester City is a home meeting with in‑form Bournemouth, currently 2nd on the League table. Pep Guardiola’s side host the Cherries at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday, 2 November, with kick-off planned for 16:30 BST.
Matchweek 10 finds Manchester City searching for continuity after a mixed start. Bournemouth, meanwhile, have shed their underdog skin this season, climbing the table with fearless football and a belief that travelling to Manchester may no longer mean damage limitation. That said, the bookmakers seem to believe Man City are still heavy favourites.
Manchester City vs Bournemouth – Betting Odds
Betting odds represent the bookmaker’s view of how likely particular outcomes are and determine the potential return on your stake. Because prices change often, you should always check the latest odds for a match before placing your bet.
Below we cover the main markets for Manchester City vs Bournemouth betting odds and explain what each type of wager means.
1X2 Betting Odds
The 1X2 market, sometimes called the match‑result market, is the most straightforward bet. There are three possible outcomes:
- 1 – the home team (Manchester City) win
- X – the match ends in a draw after 90 minutes
- 2 – the away team (AFC Bournemouth) win
You simply choose which of those three results you expect. These are the current Manchester City vs Bournemouth odds for the 1X2 market.
| Man City win (1) | Draw X | Bournemouth win (2) |
| 12/25 | 10/3 | 19/4 |
Double Chance Odds
A double chance bet covers two of the three possible match outcomes, making it a more cautious way to wager. The options are:
- 1X – City win or draw
- 12 – either City or Bournemouth win (any result except a draw)
- X2 – a draw or a Bournemouth win
Because double chance bets cover two outcomes, the odds are shorter than the equivalent single‑result wagers. The table below lists the current prices.
| 1X – Man City or Draw | 12 – Man City or Bournemouth | X2 – Draw or Bournemouth |
| 1/7 | 2/11 | 11/8 |
Handicap Betting Odds
The goal of handicap betting is to make a one‑sided fixture more even by giving one team a head start or a deficit.
In a “-1.25” handicap, for example, Manchester City must win by at least two goals for the bet to pay in full. The opposite applies when backing Bournemouth +1.25; the Cherries can either draw or lose by one goal for all or part of the bet to succeed.
| Handicap | Man City | Bournemouth |
| Man City (-1.25) Bournemouth (+1.25) |
20/21 | 4/5 |
| Man City (-2) Bournemouth (+2) |
11/5 | 5/16 |
Both Teams to Score (BTTS) Odds
The Both Teams to Score market (often abbreviated to BTTS) asks a simple question: will both sides find the net?
A “Yes” bet pays if Manchester City and Bournemouth each score at least once. A “No” bet pays if at least one team fails to score. Because BTTS does not depend on the match result, it’s an interesting option even if the contest appears one‑sided.
| Yes | No |
| 4/6 | 23/20 |
Goal Total (Over/Under) Odds
Goal total betting involves predicting whether the match will produce more or fewer goals than a specified line. Bookmakers offer several lines (2.5, 3.5, etc.), and stakes on over or under are settled on the total number of goals scored in normal time by both teams.
For example, backing over 3.5 goals succeeds only if at least four goals are scored. Doesn’t matter which team scores them as long as there are at least 4 goals. Betting under 3.5 goals pays if the game produces three or fewer goals.
| Over 3.5 goals | Under 3.5 goals |
| 13/10 | 4/7 |
Correct Score Odds
A correct‑score bet requires you to predict the exact final score after 90 minutes. This market offers long odds because of the high number of possible outcomes. Even minor differences in scorelines lead to different results.
Predicting a 2‑0 City victory is different from 2‑1 even though both are two‑goal wins. It’s quite a risky bet, so we recommend combining it with other ones to have a safety net.
| 0–0 | Man City 1–0 | Man City 2-0 | Man City 2-1 |
| 18/1 | 8/1 | 7/1 | 7/1 |
