Newcastle United are on the back of the 3-0 thrashing they handed out to Wolverhampton Wanderers in their midweek clash in the Premier League. Next, they take on Bournemouth in the 22nd round of the same competition at home. United have been one of the best teams in the division and will be keen on extending their good run of form. They’ve held their shape well and developed play from all flanks.
Manager Eddie Howe, who first became renowned in England as Bournemouth’s coach, will be keen on picking up all three points over his old team.
The likes of Alexander Isak and Anthony Gordon have been fit this season and contributed heavily to Newcastle’s 4th position in the league table with 38 points. The squad have a real chance of making it to the Champions League next season.
Bournemouth are among those teams like Newcastle United and Nottingham Forest who’ve impressed a lot this Premier League. They, too, look set to compete in the European competition next season, given how consistent they’ve been. They currently sit in the 8th position in the league table with 34 points inside their kitty, four short of this week’s opposition.
Bournemouth’s left-back Kerkez and wingers Semenyo and Brooks are the players to watch out for. This trio has ensured they have been dangerous whenever they have kept possession of the ball. However, Bournemouth tend to go into their shell whenever they lose possession and will want to rectify this error at St James’ Park on Saturday.
Bet hereWe expect Newcastle to win this game since they’re the favourites. They are going through an excellent run of form and seem likely to extend that over Bournemouth as well. The hosts have won their last nine matches and know that playing at home against any side will improve their confidence.
Bournemouth, who have been unbeaten in their last five encounters, understand that the challenge is too steep for them here, but they won’t shrug away or run from the fight. If their defenders keep their shape and don’t allow Newcastle’s attackers to exploit vacant spaces in the final third, they’ll be able to control the game.
Despite Newcastle being expected to win this game by a comfortable margin, we anticipate both teams scoring. The likes of Semenyo, Brooks and Kluivert are dangerous for Bournemouth. For United, Isak poses the biggest threat of them all. The Swedish international has been in fine form this season and handled the pressure well in Callum Wilson’s absence.
Three out of the last four matches between these two clubs have seen both sides scoring, and we expect the same again. Newcastle United’s famed attacking unit will have to carve out spaces to pick up all 3 points against the visitors. Bournemouth will not let them coast easily.
