Bournemouth vs. Newcastle United - Preview, Prediction, Team news, Lineups

Eddie Howe faces a crucial homecoming at Vitality Stadium as Newcastle United meets Bournemouth in the Premier League evening kickoff. Both teams aim for redemption after recent demoralizing defeats. Bournemouth suffered a 6-1 loss to Manchester City, while Newcastle succumbed 2-0 to Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League.

Match Preview:

Last week, Bournemouth faced a ruthless Man City, witnessing the Jeremy Doku show.

Doku’s brilliance led to a 6-1 defeat, leaving Bournemouth fans with only a Luis Sinisterra consolation.

Despite a recent Premier League win against Burnley, Bournemouth’s home goal record remains a concern.

Newcastle, led by Eddie Howe, seeks to extend their Premier League unbeaten run after defeating Arsenal.

However, recent European losses have dropped them to fourth place in Group F.
