The Matchday 5 clash in the Premier League between Bournemouth and Newcastle will take place on September 21 at Vitality Stadium. Bournemouth vs. Newcastle: prediction and betting odds, statistics.
Bournemouth
The team can be considered the biggest surprise in the current Premier League season. It seemed that Andoni Iraola's side would struggle at the start of the tournament, having sold three key defenders in the summer. However, after four rounds, the club is in 4th place with 9 points. Bournemouth lost only in their first league game, narrowly defeated by Liverpool in the final minutes. In the following three rounds, the team won, each time by a one-goal margin.
- The club's uncompromising streak in the Premier League stands at 8 matches – 5 wins and 3 losses.
- No more than three goals have been scored in 9 of Bournemouth's last 11 Premier League games.
- The team has won three consecutive home matches in the league.
Predicted lineup for Bournemouth (4-4-2)
Djordje Petrovic – James Hill, Marcos Senesi, Adrien Truffert, Veljko Milosavljevic – Alex Scott, David Brooks, Marcus Tavernier, Tyler Adams – Antoine Semenyo, Evanilson.
Newcastle
Eddie Howe's side claimed their first league victory in the 4th round. It was a modest and hard-fought win, as they beat Wolverhampton 1-0 at home. Before that, the club lost to Liverpool at home (2-3) and drew away with Aston Villa and Leeds (both 0-0). As a result, the team has 5 points and has moved up to 10th place. It's also worth noting that Newcastle managed to end a 5-match winless streak in the Premier League (2 draws and 3 losses).
- At least one team failed to score in 6 of the club's last 7 league matches.
- No more than two goals have been scored in 7 of Newcastle's last 8 Premier League games.
- The team has a 5-match winless run away in the Premier League (3 draws and 2 losses).
Predicted lineup for Newcastle (4-5-1)
Nick Pope – Fabian Schar, Valentino Livramento, Kieran Trippier, Dan Burn – Jacob Murphy, Bruno Guimaraes, Joelinton, Sandro Tonali, Harvey Barnes – Nick Woltemade.
Due to injuries, midfielder Jacob Ramsey and forward Yoane Wissa will miss the match. Forward Anthony Gordon is suspended.

Bournemouth vs. Newcastle: Match Prediction
The victory in the last round should boost Eddie Howe's side's confidence. After all, their poor league run has dragged on, and it's time to climb up the league table, where Bournemouth is currently positioned. The hosts are impressive, scoring in every Premier League match, and they don't intend to stop there.
Interestingly, Andoni Iraola's side has scored in 7 of their last 8 home Premier League games. It's also worth mentioning that encounters between these opponents tend to be entertaining and high-scoring. Both teams have scored in 10 of the last 11 Premier League meetings. I believe the opponents will deliver in this match as well.
My prediction: Both teams to score – yes
