[Premier League] Bournemouth vs Newcastle - Both teams have scored in only one of their last five encounters.
Bournemouth experienced a rollercoaster of a season last year, with the "Cherries" fluctuating between highs and lows. They started off poorly, losing several opening games, but eventually found their rhythm. However, towards the end of the season, the team began dropping points again, but their earlier success helped them avoid a relegation battle.
Ultimately, the "red and blacks" finished 12th in the table, which can be considered an achievement for a club of their size. During the summer, Bournemouth sold Dominic Solanke for a significant amount and used the proceeds to strengthen their squad by signing Enes Ünal, Luis Sinisterra, Evanilson, and Dean Hyzen. In their first match of the new season, Bournemouth drew 1-1 with Nottingham Forest.
Last season was a real test for Newcastle. For the first time in many years, the "Magpies" returned to European competitions, qualifying for the Champions League. The team started the group stage well, but playing on two fronts drained their energy and emotions. Additionally, numerous injuries added to their troubles, leading to an early exit from the Champions League at the group stage, and their form in the Premier League suffered as well.
However, in the second half of the season, the "black and whites" found their form, but it wasn’t enough to climb higher than seventh place. During the off-season, the club’s management focused on retaining key players, which they successfully did. The debut of the current Premier League season was challenging for Newcastle: they played with ten men from the 28th minute against Southampton but still managed to secure a 1-0 victory.
Prediction: Bournemouth +0.25
