The impenetrable walls that were Vicente Guaita and Nick Pope held firm throughout the 90 minutes of Newcastle’s clash with Crystal Palace two weekends ago, as steadfast defending and unwanted VAR controversy took centre stage at St James’ Park. The PGMOL has since acknowledged that a mistake was made in that incident, but that came as little consolation to Eddie Howe’s side, who are without a win in five in the top flight since overcoming Nottingham Forest on the opening weekend.
The stalemate specialists have played out four draws from their last five in the league to occupy 11th spot in the rankings at this early stage, as their bid to disrupt the European-chasing crop since their lucrative takeover continues to falter. Nevertheless, the Magpies are now welcoming Bournemouth to a ground where they have lost just one Premier League game in 2022 – and even that was only a narrow 1-0 defeat to Liverpool – and the hosts could also march to a fourth-straight win over a newly-promoted side this weekend.

Bournemouth would have undoubtedly been keen to keep the momentum going from their enthralling comeback win over Nottingham Forest, but a two-week break has left Gary O’Neil with the difficult task of galvanising his troops for another tricky trip north. Four points from his opening two fixtures represents a solid start for stand-in manager O’Neil, who is giving no thought to the possibility of taking the reins full-time while attempting to steer 13th-placed Bournemouth further away from the dreaded dotted line.
However, Cheikhou Kouyate and Brennan Johnson’s strikes for Forest mean that the Cherries have conceded at least two goals in all of their away games this season – including against Norwich City in the EFL Cup – and their league-low -13 goal difference is still recovering from that 9-0 Anfield humiliation against Liverpool. Should Bournemouth concede at least three goals this weekend – which would take their total in that column to 21 – they will set a new record for the most goals shipped in a team’s opening seven Premier League games of the season, and Newcastle did the double over the Cherries the last time the two sides met in 2019-20.

Newcastle’s sturdy rearguard will prove quite the upgrade on a flaky Nottingham Forest defence for Bournemouth this weekend, and the Cherries’ penchant for conceding goals away from home is apparent. The potential returns of Saint-Maximin and Guimaraes will only benefit the hosts at their St James’ Park fortress, and we expect the Magpies to claim a long-awaited win before the international break.
Bournemouth 0-2 Newcastle United, predicted by us.
