In one of the more interesting Saturday Premier League fixtures we will see Newcastle United versus Bournemouth. Despite dropping to the midtable, the Toon have managed to pick themselves up as of late and will be looking to capture an European spot for next year.
Newcastle United Team News
Eddie Howe’s team is now unbeaten in their last 4 games from all competitions. Newcastle seem to have found form again and will surely be looking to bring that over to St James’ Park. In all of their last 4 games The Magpies have managed to score at least 2 goals in all of their last 4 games, but have also conceded a fair amount – 7 goals. At home, Newcastle are yet to show the best of them, as they have recorded 2 wins, 2 losses and a draw in their last 5 games as hosts. However, in their last 3 consecutive games at the St James’ Park, Eddie Howe’s team has conceded at least 3 goals per game.
Bournemouth Team News
Bournemouth will be looking to capitalize on Newcastle’s tendency to concede, as they have recently recorded some good away wins to Nottingham and Manchester United. Despite that, their last 3 away games have seen them lose twice and reach a draw. In their most recent 5 games away from home the team has both scored and conceded 9 goals or 1.8 goals on average per game. Curiously enough, they have managed to secure 1 clean sheet in those games and that was during their 0-3 win at Old Trafford.
Head-to-Head-Games
According to the head-to-head statistics, Newcastle have a slight advantage in their last 5 games from all competitions against Bournemouth. The Toon have managed 2 victories, while the Cherries have one. Four of those games have been goal-shy with less than 2.5 goals scored. As hosts, Newcastle have 3 wins in the last 5 fixtures to Bournemouth at the St James’ Park.
Newcastle United – Bournemouth Betting Prediction
Newcastle have been in a good form lately and signs that they are finding their form again are present. All that is left for them is to translate that to home games. Bournemouth, on the other hand, have failed to win any of their last 3 trips. My pick here would be for Newcastle to win and make the battle for the European spots even more interesting.
