Bookmaker Ratings Prediction One: Match outcome: Newcastle United to win — 1.55
Bookmaker Ratings Prediction Two: Total goals: Under 2.5 — 1.93
Bookmaker Ratings Prediction Three: Anytime goalscorer: Callum Wilson — 2.45
Although Newcastle United are not in their best shape, Bournemouth are in worse form, having lost four of their last five league matches. Newcastle are unbeaten in their last five league games, hence they are likely to win this tie.
This game is likely to end with under 2.5 goals because four of Newcastle United’s last five games ended with under 2.5 goals and Bournemouth’s last three matches ended similarly.
Callum Wilson is one of the favourites to score against Bournemouth and I’ve backed him to score anytime next weekend. He scored Newcastle United’s lone goal against West Ham United on Saturday.
The Cherries are winless in their last five Premier League matches at least, having lost four and drawn one. They are in danger of returning to the Championship if they don’t improve their performances. Bournemouth showed character away from home against Brighton but it’s a shame they eventually gave in late in the game when Mitoma scored the winniner goal. They might want to take the positives into the next game against Newcastle United and put up a show. Bournemouth occupy the 19th position with 17 points after 21 games.
The Magpies have underperformed in recent weeks, having drawn four of their last five Premier League matches. They were forced to share the spoils by West Ham when the game ended 1-1 at St James’ Park. The draw has handed Tottenham to fight their way back into the top four. After recording only one win in their last five league games, Newcastle United dropped to the 4th position with 40 points after 21 games.
Bournemouth are winless in their last five Premier League matches and there’s a huge chance this rancid record will remain this way beyond this weekend.
I don’t think Bournemouth would score against Newcastle United, hence I’m orchestrating a tight win for the Magpies.
I’d definitely back Bournemouth to not score at least two goals.
