Newcastle vs Bournemouth prediction: ENGLAND: Premier League betting tips on match 2022-09-16 14:00.
Newcastle United would’ve used the break from Premier League (PL) football to calm their nerves, as manager Eddie Howe was left “very surprised” after their 0-0 draw with Crystal Palace in the last round, when VAR was once again scrutinised with its decision to rule out what could’ve been a game-winning goal for his side. Newcastle are now winless in five PL matches for the first time under Howe (D4, L1), who’ll be looking to use his knowledge of his former employers Bournemouth to steer his current side back to winning ways.
The St. James' Park faithful will play its part in motivating their troops, seeing as the Magpies have lost only one of their last 13 home PL matches (W8, D4), conceding 2+ goals on only one occasion within that time. They’ll therefore be looking to capitalise when Bournemouth come to town, having not lost any of their last five H2Hs (W3, D2).
Bournemouth must be itching to get back on the pitch, after amassing an outstanding comeback from 2-0 down at half-time to beat fellow promoted side Nottingham Forest 3-2 in their last match. The managerless Cherries have now produced a win and a draw under caretaker boss Gary O'Neil, although the 18 league goals they’ve conceded so far is the joint-most seen after six PL matches in the competition’s history!
While the hunt for a new manager continues, Bournemouth will hit the road having conceded 15 of those 18 goals on their travels. This game has the makings for what could be another entertaining trip to Newcastle then, especially as Bournemouth have found the net in the last seven H2Hs, with both teams scoring in each of the last five.
Players to watch: Newcastle’s star signing Alexander Isak has scored his side’s opener in all of his last nine goalscoring outings, while Bournemouth’s Dominic Solanke has scored five of his last six goals away from home.
Hot stat: Newcastle have trailed at half-time in only three of their previous 26 PL matches.
