Match Prediction: AFC Bournemouth 2-1 Newcastle United

Bournemouth come into this match on a strong run of form, winning their last three league games. They've shown they can grind out results, especially at home, with tight victories against Brighton and Wolves.

Newcastle, on the other hand, have been up and down, with only one win in their last four league games. They'll need to be more clinical if they want to break down Bournemouth's solid defence.

The Cherries might have the edge here, given their recent performances and home advantage. Newcastle's defence has been solid, but their attack has struggled to find the net consistently. Bournemouth's ability to score in crucial moments could be the difference. Expect a tight, tactical battle, but Bournemouth might just nick it.

Bournemouth are in fine fettle, having won three of their four league matches this season. Their recent victories against Brighton, Tottenham, and Wolves show they can compete with top teams. The only blip was a loss to Liverpool away, but that's no shame. This form should give them confidence going into this match against Newcastle.

With a solid defence and the ability to score crucial goals, Bournemouth look well-prepared. Their home form has been particularly impressive, and they'll be looking to continue that trend. If they can maintain their focus and intensity, they should be able to secure another positive result.

Recent Premier League Results:

• Win: 2-1 vs Brighton & Hove Albion (H)

• Win: 1-0 vs Tottenham Hotspur (A)

• Win: 1-0 vs Wolverhampton Wanderers (H)

• Loss: 2-4 vs Liverpool (A)

Newcastle have had a mixed bag recently, with one win, two draws, and a loss in their last four league games. Their defence has been strong, keeping clean sheets against Leeds and Aston Villa, but their attack has been less effective. The win against Wolves was positive, but they'll need to be more consistent.

Against Bournemouth, they'll need to find a way to break down a stubborn defence. If they can get their forwards firing, they have a chance, but it won't be easy. Newcastle will need to be at their best to come away with anything from this match.

Recent Premier League Results:

• Win: 1-0 vs Wolverhampton Wanderers (H)
