Match Preview
Newcastle United have reignited their European hopes in recent weeks after claiming two victories in their last three. However, they will need a solid end to the season if they are to finish in the top six, as they already sit five points behind Man United.
There are key defensive issues that need to be ironed out this week, as they have allowed ten goals in their last three home matches. Over that period, they have allowed at least three goals in each of those fixtures. However, the Magpies have excelled in the final third in 2023-24, as they have already netted 51 goals this term. It is the earliest that they have reached 50+ goals since 1960-61.

The pressure is back on Bournemouth. The Cherries have dropped back down the league standings after failing to win across their last five in the Premier League. Their miserable run of results continued last Saturday, losing 3-1 on the road against Fulham.
The Cherries have still looked threatening in the final third across recent months, scoring in 14 of their last 15 league matches. Away from home, they have scored once in their last eight matches. The Cherries landed a famous home win over Newcastle earlier in the season, and they are chasing a first ever league double over the Magpies this weekend.
Newcastle vs Bournemouth Prediction
Bournemouth’s performances in recent weeks have been well below the standard required. Newcastle have looked back to somewhere near their best, and we expect their winning sequence to continue at home against the Cherries on Saturday.
