Two highly entertaining teams clash at the Etihad, so we'll be looking for many goals to keep the Premier League faithful entertained.
Man City are tied for the league lead in goals scored this season with 17, while Bournemouth sit just one back with 16.
Bournemouth are flying high at the moment, sitting second in the Premier League table behind only Arsenal, with City in fifth.
This should be a great game to watch, even for the neutrals, so I'll be hoping for goals at both ends.
Here are my Man City vs. Bournemouth predictions and free betting picks for Sunday, November 2.

Premier League predictions for Man City vs Bournemouth
My Man City vs Bournemouth best bet: Over 3.5 goals (+125 at Sports Interaction)
Manchester City have seen over 2.5 goals in their last nine home matches against Bournemouth in all competitions. This is pure football delight, I'm telling you. Manchester City have scored at least two goals in 15 of their last 18 matches against Bournemouth.
Also, City won 17 of their last 18 games against The Cherries. City also managed to win all eight of their Premier League home clashes with Bournemouth.
Manchester City are the only side in the Premier League this season to spend more than half of their game time in a winning position (51.3%). But Bournemouth are enjoying a fantastic campaign themselves, and they will not let stats just take over.
Given their tremendous form, I will stay away from the moneyline and opt for the goals market.
Many goals.
I'll take Sports Interaction's +125 payoff for the Over 3.5 goals.
Man City vs Bournemouth same-game parlay (SGP)
Over 3.5 goals
Erling Haaland anytime goal
Junior Kroupi 1+ shots on target
Over 10.5 corners
Erling Haaland failed to score for just the second time in the Premier League this season in Man City’s 1-0 loss to Aston Villa last week.
Of the 23 sides the Norwegian has faced in the competition, only against Newcastle (447) does he have a worse minutes-per-goal average than he does against Bournemouth, netting just once in 439 minutes.
I'm backing him to get back to scoring on Sunday and will not omit him from my parlay.
19-year-old Eli Kroupi has scored in each of his last three Premier League appearances for Bournemouth. I will not include him in the goals, but the 1+ shots on target look likely to materialize.
Both City and Bournemouth average more than five corners per game (5.11 vs. 5.67), so I will include the Over 10.5 to round out the return to +700.
