Newcastle have won only 1 out of their 6 games so far, and yet I go happily for them to win by at least two goals! Why so?

Let us take a look at the matches played.

The sole win is vs Nottingham who actually are a good benchmark here as they will be also be in relegation battle along with Bournemouth.

The other home games have been good performances as well, 3-3 v Man City and creating 2.2 xG is worth to be a proud of as most teams barely get 0.2 xG v City, and they were extremely unlucky not to win Palace clearly in their latest game. 3-1 would reflect that match better a lot better than 0-0, and in comparison to Bournemouth Palace are a classy team! So there is strength in the attack, solidity in the defense. The coach Eddie Howe has already shown what he can do and he is one of the shiniest stars in English coaching markets.

At injury front Newcastle should get back a few players so that situation is improving, and I am anxious to see Alexander Isak and Bruno Guimaraes in the starting lineup.

Bournemouth have already fired their manager after a poor start - expectedly poor I would say - and they have a caretaker manager Gary O'Neil.

How have they played?

They have two wins to show!

Neither of the wins was a deserved one, and in the 4 other games they have created about 0.8 goals worth of xG in total. The goal difference does not flatter either, does it?

It is still early days and looking at any kind of table may be misleading as the teams have met different opponents, but in the xG-table Bournemouth are rock-bottom and should have about 2 points instead of the 7, whereas Newcastle should be at 9 points instead of 7.

The poor start of the Bournemouth side is not down to coaching, but the player material is of bottom-3 quality, they did not look at transfer markets too seriously and did not spend. Look like they are happy to go down and take the money, while trying to concentrate on winning the right games and still have a chance of survival.

The injury situation is not bad at Bournemouth as only the long-term absentees are out.

纽卡斯尔到目前为止6场比赛只赢了1场，但我很高兴他们能至少赢2球!为什么如此?

让我们来看看比赛情况。

唯一的胜利是对阵诺丁汉，他们实际上是一个很好的基准，因为他们也将和伯恩茅斯一起在保级战中。

其他的主场比赛也有不错的表现，3比3战胜曼城，创造了2.2倍的胜率值得骄傲，而大多数球队在对阵曼城时只能得到0.2倍的胜率，他们在最近的一场比赛中没有赢下皇宫，真是太不幸了。3-1比0-0要好得多，和伯恩茅斯宫相比，这是一支有档次的球队!所以进攻中有力量，防守中有坚固。教练埃迪·豪已经展示了他的能力，他是英国教练市场上最闪亮的明星之一。

在伤病方面，纽卡应该会补回一些球员，这样情况就会有所改善，我很希望能看到亚历山大·伊萨克和布鲁诺·吉马良斯出现在首发阵容中。

伯恩茅斯已经在糟糕的开局后解雇了他们的主教练——我想说糟糕是意料之中的——他们有一个代理教练加里·奥尼尔。

他们打得怎么样?

他们取得了两场胜利!

两场胜利都不值得，在其他4场比赛中，他们总共创造了0.8个进球。净胜球的差距也不尽如人意，不是吗?

现在还处于早期阶段，因为球队遇到了不同的对手，所以看任何一种排名表都可能会产生误导，但在xg排名表中，伯恩茅斯是垫底的，应该得到2分而不是7分，而纽卡斯尔应该得到9分而不是7分。

伯恩茅斯的糟糕开局并不是教练的问题，而是球员的素质都是垫底的，他们没有太认真地看待转会市场，也没有花钱。看起来他们很高兴下去拿钱，同时试图集中精力赢得正确的比赛，仍然有机会生存下来。

伯恩茅斯的伤病情况并不糟糕，因为只有长期缺阵的球员缺席。
