Newcastle vs Bournemouth: Preview and Prediction

England Premier League
Saturday 10th November 2018
Kick off at 3pm GMT
Venue: St. James' Park

Match Preview:

Is the tide turning at Newcastle? The Magpies have just gone two games undefeated and that is huge news considering their poor start to the season and off the field problems.

A draw against Southampton followed a win over Watford and Rafa Benitez’s team who have conceded 14 goals this season have had two clean sheets in a row. This game at home again represents a real chance for another win, but no one will be taking anything for granted. A win though could see the club move up another two places at least.

Newcastle have been abysmal at home with 5 losses from 6 games but all of that was forgotten last week with victory over Watford.

Bournemouth have some 400 miles to travel for this game and lost last weekend against Manchester United in a match that finished 2-1. They played well and have been superb this season as they come into this game in 6th place and 14 points ahead of their hosts.

On the road they have won 3 and lost 2, but have won their last two games beating Watford and Fulham where they scored 7 goals in those two matches.

 

Team News:

Newcastle: Ciaran Clark could make a return after a lack of match fitness. Jamaal Lascelles has injured his shoulder and is a doubt. Jonjo Shelvey has a muscle problem and is another doubt. Both players will be assessed ahead of the game

Bournemouth: The clubs only doubt is Joshua King who has an ankle problem that was supposed to be minor, but could keep him out of this game

 

Newcastle vs Bournemouth Head to Head:

Bournemouth have won the last 2 meetings at St James Park.

Newcastle have not beaten Bournemouth in any game since 2015.

If a pattern continues this game should end in under 2.5 goals.

 

Newcastle vs Bournemouth Prediction:

Newcastle have finally found form but still look unconvincing. They are getting odd goals and not being able to kill off the opposition. For this reason it is hard not to fancy Bournemouth to punish Newcastle further. They have been very good up front this season, have confidence and have a good away record. They also have a great record at St James Park, for us this is a cautious away win and possibly more misery for Rafa and his team.
