PREVIEW & PREDICTION – Bournemouth vs Newcastle 24/02/2018

Saturday, at 15:00, Bournemouth receives Newcastle United’s 28th round in the Premier League. Only 3 direct duels have been played between the two bands so far, all being won by the away team! “The Cherries” have 2 successes on St. James Park (1-0, 3-1), and Newcastle won in the south with 1-0 in 2015.

There will be two rebounds in the form, who have flirted with the relegation area before securing a warm spot in the middle of the leaderboard. But beware! Nothing is played until the end and some consecutive negative results can throw any of these clubs back into the fight from relegation. Bournemouth is on 10 (goal 31-41) and Newcastle is on 13th place (goal 25-36). There are many interesting figures that help us to get the correct forecast for this match.

In 9 of the last 10 matches of Bournemouth have scored at least 3 goals, and this because Eddie Howe’s attack is confident and always brings new ideas for construction. It’s a pleasure to see Bournemouth playing on a good day! Defensive is effective when individual errors do not occur, but Howe’s defenders are not international class, and inaccuracies come into play. It is known that the red-black team is among the most vulnerable in defense when playing on their own ground. However, Bournemouth has three home wins and scored at least two goals in each of the last four games on the “Vitality Stadium”.

Newcastle also knows how to play when the occasion calls for it, and Rafa Benitez will not have a choice: “cotofen” must build and get out of Bournemouth’s pressure, which can produce a rhythm game, occasions and corners. Given that Newcastle has a good series and is unbeaten by 3 stages, it is hard to choose the winner, but an equal result could please both camps.

Bournemouth: Begovic – Francis, Cook, Ake, Daniels – A. Smith, Cook, Gosling, Stanislas, Ibe – C. Wilson

Newcastle: Dubravka – Dummett, Lascelles, Lejeune, Yedlin – Ritchie, Shelvey, Diame, Kenedy – Gayle, Ayoze


PREDICTION: Over 2.5 goals @ 2.00
