Gameday in Newcastle for the round 8 between Newcastle & Bournemouth.

Newcastle will be without Emil Krath. Saint-Maximin, Wilson Callum & Bruno Guimaraes are doubtful.

On their side Bournemouth will be without Benjamin Pearson.

Newcastle is ranked 11 with 1 win, 4 draws & 1 loss for 7 goals scored & 6 goals conceded.

Bournemouth is ranked 13 with 2 wins, 1 draw & 3 losses for 5 goals scored & 18 goals conceded. Stats of Bournemouth are a bit false because they are a difficult run as they faced City-Arsenal & Liverpool and they conceded 16 goals in total of the three games. The bad thing for them is that the management made a very poor decision of firing their coach because he lost heavily against 3 big teams.

Newcastle became a team with ambition with the saudi investment and they really need to bounce back of the 5 games in a row without a win. Bournemouth is a team who will fight against the relegation so for Newcastle at home it's a must win situation.

Even if they were unusual performance imo, Bournemouth still showed a lot of weaknesses defensively and Newcastle will be able to take advantage of it with Almiron, new signing Isak who is already doing great.

I expect a strong one side game and a win 2-0 or 3-1.
