AFC Bournemouth Betting Preview
AFC Bournemouth currently sits in 19th place in the standings having picked up 17 points. Last Saturday against Brighton, Bournemouth failed to score any goals and that led to the 1-0 defeat. They had 28 percent of the possession and two shots on target. Two games ago against Nottingham Forest, the game ended in a 1-1 draw. One big issue for Bournemouth heading into this game is they are dealing with a ton of injury issues. Lloyd Kelly, Jack Stephens, Junior Stanislas, Ryan Fredericks and David Brooks are all hurt and they won’t be able to go in this game.
Newcastle Betting Preview
On the other side of this matchup is Newcastle who sits in 4th place in the standings having picked up 40 points. Last Saturday against West Ham, the game ended in a 1-1 draw. Callum Wilson scored in the 3rd minute, but they couldn’t find the back of the net again, and they gave up a goal in the 32nd minute. Newcastle had 63 percent of the possession and two shots on target but it wasn’t enough as they only scored the one goal. Bruno Guimaraes is still dealing with a suspension and he’s not available for selection in this game. Matt Targett, Emil Krafth, and Javier Manquillo are all dealing with injuries though, and won’t able to play in this game.
Shane’s Free Pick
Not having Guimaraes is a big loss for Newcastle, but even without him, this is a team that can still find success. This AFC Bournemouth offense isn’t good, and they are going to really struggle to find any success scoring here. Newcastle will still score a couple of goals, and will get the job done here. Back Newcastle -1.5 to cash.
