Bournemouth vs Newcastle United Match Stats Preview
Having won two of their first three Premier League games against Newcastle (L1), Bournemouth are now winless in their last seven against the Magpies (D4 L3).
Newcastle are unbeaten in all five of their Premier League away games against Bournemouth (W2 D3). Only at Birmingham (6) have they played more away games in the competition without ever losing.
Both teams have scored in eight of the 10 Premier League meetings between Bournemouth and Newcastle, including in each of the last seven in a row.
Bournemouth have lost nine of their last 11 Premier League games against sides who finished in the top four the previous season, with the exceptions being victories against Liverpool (1-0) and Tottenham (3-2) in March and April. The Cherries have conceded 39 goals in these 11 games, scoring 10.
Bournemouth have won just one of their last 15 Premier League games (D3 L11), beating Burnley 2-1 in their last home game. They last won consecutive matches at the Vitality Stadium in March/April.
After losing three consecutive Premier League games in August/September, Newcastle are now unbeaten in their last seven (W5 D2). They’ve scored 20 goals across these seven games, while also keeping a clean sheet in all five victories in this run.
All nine of Bournemouth’s Premier League goals this season have come from open play – they’re the only side yet to score from a set-piece situation so far this term.
Callum Wilson scored 41 goals in 126 Premier League games for Bournemouth but is yet to face his old side in the competition. His 45 goals in 85 games for Newcastle makes him the third highest Magpies goalscorer in the Premier League, behind only Alan Shearer (148) and Peter Beardsley (46).
Luis Sinisterra scored his first Premier League goal for Bournemouth in their 6-1 defeat at Man City last time out, just 158 seconds after coming off the bench. He also scored in Leeds’ 6-1 defeat against Liverpool last season, making him one of three players in Premier League history to score in two 5+ goal defeats (along with Egil Ostenstad and Jo Tessem).
Newcastle’s Anthony Gordon has been involved in four goals in his last five Premier League games (3 goals, 1 assist), netting their winner against Arsenal last time out. It’s as many goal involvements as he’d registered in his previous 32 appearances in the competition (3 goals, 1 assist).
