Bournemouth vs Newcastle Betting Tips & Predictions: Cherries Chase Vital Points

Bournemouth vs Newcastle Betting Tips

A tight low-scoring game is in order with neither side being particularly gifted in attack. Newcastle look the more likely of the two sides to take all three points but a 0-0 looks on the cards.

Best Bet: Under 1.5 Goals – 7/4 at bet365.

Correct Score Tip: 0-0 Draw Correct Score – 7/1 at bet365.

 

Bournemouth vs Newcastle Predictions

• Bournemouth are embroiled in a relegation battle with just seven to play.
• Newcastle are away from relegation trouble, eight points above the drop.

Bournemouth are 18^th at the time of writing, trailing West Ham on goal difference. Newcastle are well clear of danger in mid-table obscurity.

The Cherries may well be favourites on paper but their attacking injuries and goalscoring record suggests they may have a tough time in front of goal here. Newcastle have been solid in recent games and look likely to thwart the Cherries.

For my correct score prediction, I’m backing a 0-0 draw here in the hope that the low scoring theme continues post lockdown.

 

Bournemouth vs Newcastle Odds

• Bournemouth are 11/8 to win

Bournemouth Form

Eddie Howe’s Bournemouth have had a nightmare second half to the season. The Cherries picked up four wins and four draws in their opening 11 league games but have managed just three wins and two draws in the proceeding 20 fixtures.

Most recently, Bournemouth are now six without a win, picking up just one point since early February. Two losses without reply against Crystal Palace and Wolves is a worrying sign for Cherries fans.

Bournemouth have averaged less than a goal a game with 29 in 31 so far. Their 50 goals against in the fifth-worst tally in the league.

Team News

Callum Wilson and Josh King are major doubts in attack whilst Ryan Fraser is out of contract.

 

Newcastle Form

Newcastle have put together a run of four unbeaten in the league. Their solid form extends back to mid-January with just two defeats in the last 10 for the Magpies. Three of Newcastle’s last four league games have featured clean sheets for the Steve Bruce’s side.

Only one goal has been scored in Newcastle’s last seven league games before half-time. In fact, almost half of their Premier League ties have been level at 0-0 at the break (14 out of 31).

Only Crystal Palace and Norwich have scored fewer goals than the Magpies, who have averaged less than a goal a game (29 in 31).
