Reasons to back Newcastle
Newcastle’s Callum Wilson is a reliable goal scorer, leading the team and ranking fourth in the league with seven goals this season. Additionally, the Cherries have struggled to find the back of the net, scoring only nine goals in 11 Premier League matches and failing to score more than once in their last six matches across all competitions.
Reasons to back Bournemouth
Bournemouth has performed well at home this season, earning five of their six points at Vitality Stadium. Additionally, they will face a Newcastle side missing a key player, midfielder Bruno Guimarães, who is suspended after accumulating his fifth yellow card of the season. His absence will be a significant loss for the Magpies.
