Newcastle United will be looking to record a second straight victory in the Premier League this weekend when Eddie Howe returns to Bournemouth. The Cherries will have home field advantage, as they chase a win to move out of the bottom three spots.
Premier League Preview
It has been a solid run of results in the Premier League for Newcastle, as they have edged nearer to the Champions League spots in the standings. The Magpies have gone five without defeat in the English top flight, and they will be looking to record a second straight win in the competition this weekend.
Newcastle were in fine form last weekend, as they ended Arsenal’s unbeaten start to the Premier League season by landing a 1-0 win at St. James’ Park. Their winning effort was scored just after the hour mark, as Antony Gordon pounced in the 64th minute. The victory means that Newcastle have now won two of their last three home matches against the Gunners, and it was also their fourth straight home success in the Premier League. Over that period, they have failed to concede at St. James Park.
The pressure will be back on Bournemouth ahead of this weekend, as the Cherries dropped back into the relegation spots after failing to record a second straight victory. However, there wasn’t much of a surprise last weekend, as they were easily beaten on the road by Manchester City.
But, the six goals that the Cherries conceded in that defeat means that they have now allowed the second-most goals in the Premier League this term. The defeat was also expected, as it means that the Cherries have now gone 19 without a win against City in the top flight.
Bournemouth vs Newcastle Head to Head
Each of the last two clashes between these sides have ended in draws, which includes a 1-1 stalemate in this exact fixture last term. However, Newcastle have avoided defeat in each of their last eight matches across all competitions. But, their only away win against Bournemouth was a 4-1 win in July 2020.
Bournemouth vs Newcastle Prediction
Newcastle have been excellent across the last month in the Premier League, and they appear very challenging to oppose in the betting this weekend. Therefore, we expect the away side to maintain their fine recent run of form by landing a 2-0 success at the Vitality Stadium.
