Bournemouth vs. Newcastle: Preview and betting tips

Newcastle have a game to play on Saturday with ambitions to qualify for the European Cups, when they travel to penultimate Bournemouth. What to expect from the game and what to bet on?

Bournemouth have struggled since the break for the World Cup in Qatar, failing to win eight games in a row. From a quiet mid-table position they have dropped to the penultimate position, currently two points behind the non-relegation places.

Newcastle, on the other hand, are very comfortable. They have lost only one of their last 24 games and have reached the Carabao Cup final. They are fourth in the table, one point clear of fifth-placed Tottenham.

Bournemouth’s key figures

Twenty-three-year-old Jaidon Anthony has been putting in a sympathetic performance in the home jersey, with the English winger scoring four times. Dominic Solanke has been on seven goals (4+3), but after last year’s awesome season, expectations and expectations are much higher.

Newcastle’s key figures

The performance of the visitors’ Sean Longstaff is improving, he has opened the net three times and assisted three times so far. Defensively, the whole five, including the goalkeeper, can be praised, but it is goalkeeper Nick Pope and right back Kieran Trippier who shine.

Prediction

Bournemouth have been troubled by their defence for a long time. With 43 goals conceded, it is sovereignly the worst in the league, with second-worst Southampton getting five less shots. They have received more than one goal in five of their last seven games.

Newcastle, on the other hand, is a model defensively. 12 goals scored makes it clearly the best defending team in the league, and it kept zero at the Emirates Stadium. It has only conceded more than once in the past 24 games.

Considering the Magpies’ impenetrable defence, the generally clueless Bournemouth, who also make defensive mistakes, and the good atmosphere in the Newcastle camp, I think the favourite can win on the opponent’s ground.
