Newcastle United vs Bournemouth: Preview
Newcastle United form analysis
The Magpies had a decent form in their latest premier league campaign. Starting with a 4-2 home loss to Liverpool on January 2nd, despite A. Isak and S. Botman scoring. On January 13th, Newcastle lost 3-2 at home to Manchester City in a thriller after leading twice through A. Isak and A. Gordon. Newcastle returned to winning ways on January 31st, beating Aston Villa 3-1 away with F. Schär bagging a brace.
Momentum stalled on February 3rd as Newcastle drew 4-4 at home with Luton in a goalfest, scoring through S. Longstaff, K. Trippier and H. Barnes. Most recently on February 10th, Newcastle won 3-2 away at Nottingham Forest – Bruno Guimarães scored twice after Newcastle trailed early and at halftime. Overall, Newcastle have been consistently dangerous in attack but vulnerable defensively. Tightening up at the back could help Newcastle solidify a top four push if their offense keeps clicking.
Bournemouth form analysis
Bournemouth have been in poor form in their recent premier league run. They started it with a 3-1 home loss to Tottenham on December 31st, only scoring a late consolation via A. Scott. Things worsened on January 21st as Bournemouth were thrashed 4-0 at home by Liverpool. Looking to bounce back, on February 2nd Bournemouth earned a credible 1-1 away draw at West Ham after going ahead early through D. Solanke.
Momentum built on February 4th with a 1-1 home draw against Nottingham Forest – J. Kluivert put Bournemouth ahead before conceding to C. Hudson-Odoi. However, inconsistency continued on February 10th as Bournemouth lost 3-1 away to Fulham, with M. Senesi’s goal not enough after conceding to B. De Cordova-Reid and Rodrigo Muniz twice. Overall, Bournemouth have struggled for wins but shown spirit to lead in games. Tighter defense could help convert these moments into more positive results as they avoid relegation.
Newcastle United vs Bournemouth: Prediction
The Cherries have had a disappointing few weeks and are winless in five Premier League matches. Their opponents meanwhile have turned around their dreadful December with seven points in three matches. They should have enough to take all three points.
3.5 goals is the average scoreline in Bournemouth’s last six league matches. This figure is more than five in the hosts’ last six results. This fixture could very well see a high number of goals.`
