- Bournemouth will be buoyed by the newly-signed Evanilson in this match, who will make his debut after signing from Porto.
- Bournemouth has only lost once in their last five matches against Newcastle.
On Sunday, Bournemouth will host Newcastle United in Premier League action. Both teams avoided a loss in their season opening matches last weekend, with the Cherries securing a late draw against Nottingham Forest, while the Magpies got a win despite being reduced to 10 men against Southampton. Here, you will find our soccer betting picks for Sunday’s Bournemouth vs Newcastle United matchup, one where a new signing could make a big difference.
This match will be played at 9:00 AM ET at Vitality Stadium on Sunday, August 25, 2024.
Bournemouth
It was not pretty, but Bournemouth secured a point on the road in their opening match of the 2024-25 Premier League season. The Cherries nabbed a point after falling behind in the first half against Nottingham Forest, scoring in the 86th minute to level things up in that match. Now, Bournemouth will look to build on their resilient second half performance against Forest for their first home match of the season against Newcastle.
The big news for Bournemouth coming into this game is that the newly-acquired Evanilson should make his debut for the club on Sunday. The Brazilian scored 25 goals in 42 total appearances for Porto in Portugal last season. Look for him to help fill the void left by Dominic Solanke, who departed for Tottenham this summer, starting with this Bournemouth vs Newcastle United matchup.
Newcastle United
Newcastle United did get three points in their Premier League opener against Southampton, but it was not pretty either. A 28th minute red card for Fabian Schar left Newcastle with 10 men for over an hour, but they managed to break through for that game’s lone goal through Joelinton in the 45th minute of play. Here, Newcastle will look for a better showing against Bournemouth in their first away match of the campaign.
While Newcastle did win last week against Southampton, their level of play left a lot to be desired. They were outperformed in the expected goals category by a Southampton team that is expected to be fully entrenched in the relegation battle this season. Against a more capable foe in Bournemouth this weekend, the Magpies can’t afford to play the way they did in their season opener.
