Bournemouth vs Newcastle Prediction & Betting Tips - Premier League

Prediction published on 09/11/2023, 12:30  by Daniel Ngulu in Premier League Predictions

Newcastle United will return to Premier League action with an away trip to Bournemouth on Saturday. This Round 12 match finds Newcastle sixth, and Bournemouth 18th. The hosts aren’t having a dream season, so far having managed just six points from a possible 33. They have one of the lowest winning rates in the league. Their 2-1 victory over Burnley came on Match Day 10 and that’s all they have to show for the season. Bournemouth failed to build on this win in their last game, falling 6-1 to Manchester City. This will be another tough encounter for the hosts as they look to bounce back. A poor run in defence doesn’t help their ambitions, having already conceded 27 in the league. Meanwhile, they are among the lowest scoring sides so far, with just nine goals in 11 league games.

Newcastle United are the second-best scoring side in the league with 27 goals so far. This game will be perfect for them to seek to bounce back after a loss. They are coming from a 2-0 loss away to Borussia Dortmund in the UEFA Champions League. That defeat ended a run of three matches without a loss for the Magpies. They had two straight wins, over Manchester United and Arsenal before heading to Dortmund. Here they have to embrace a side that has struggled all season. A five-game unbeaten run in the league will build their confidence in this game. Meanwhile, they have three clean sheets in their last five matches in the league. Ahead of this game, Newcastle United have a long list of injuries, but they have good squad depth too. They are unbeaten in eight meetings with Bournemouth, and they won five in that run. Being four points off the top four, they’ll hope to close that gap with a win here.
