Match Preview
A fascinating showdown kicks off the Premier League weekend on Saturday, as Newcastle welcome Bournemouth to St. James’ Park. The Magpies have been in stunning form since the turn of the year, and Eddie Howe will have massive credit in the bank after two recent cup victories last week.
However, the Cherries are unlikely to roll over for Newcastle this weekend after enjoying their longest unbeaten sequence in Premier League history. Bournemouth have picked up three draws from their last four matches, and a creditable draw at Chelsea was played out in midweek.

Draws have been a common theme when these sides have clashed in the Premier League, with four of the last five ending in ties. However, the Cherries have gone four without a win in away matches against Newcastle since winning on their first two EPL visits.
High scoring affairs have been a historic trend when Newcastle and Bournemouth have clashed, with five of the last six seeing both teams scoring. The Magpies will also take confidence from the fact that they are unbeaten in their last six matches played in the early kick-off slot.
In contrast, the Cherries have a losing sequence when playing in the early match. That is reflected by their run of eight defeats in their last eleven. Meanwhile, they have lost each of their last four matches played on the road in the time slot.
Newcastle vs. Bournemouth Picks
A very entertaining affair is expected at St. James Park this weekend, with both Newcastle and Bournemouth performing excellently at this stage of the season. However, based on the home side’s recent scoring exploits, the preference when making picks is for the hosts.
