Bournemouth are getting ready for their first home game for the 2024/25 season. The Cherries will host Newcastle United at their own Vitality Stadium. Let’s see what we can tell you about it in our best soccer predictions today.
Bournemouth started their campaign with winning one point away from home. Andoni Iraola’s boys traveled to face Nottingham Forest and secured a point after a 1-1 draw. Forest actually scored first in the game, but the Cherries’ Antoine Semenyo scored a late equaliser in the 86th minute. We can say Bournemouth were lucky to get the point here.
Iraola was not entirely happy with his team’s performance against Forest. It means that some changes could be made in the line-up. Justin Kluivert could be a refreshing choice for the attack while Ryan Christie remains an option as well.
Newcastle United achieved their first win for the season as they won against Southampton at home – 1-0. Joelinton scored the only goal in the game in the 45th minute.
The Magpies secured the three points despite the fact they played the majority of the match with 10 men on the pitch. The Swiss center-back Fabian Schar was sent off in the 28th minute of the match. This allowed Southampton to dominate the game, but their 19 shots didn’t result in a single goal.
Obviously, Fabian Schar won’t be available against Bournemouth. It means that most likely the Swedish defender Emil Krafth will replace him against the Cherries.
Kieran Trippier shall return in Newcastle’s line-up against Bournemouth. The English international didn’t play against the Saints, but he remains a key player for the manager Eddie Howe.
That’s the best soccer predictions today for the Premier League fixture between Bournemouth and Newcastle United at the Vitality Stadum. The Cherries are looking for their first win for the season while the Magpies could make it two in a row.
