Bournemouth vs Newcastle Prediction: Cherries to continue their incredible start

Bournemouth will look to win their fourth Premier League game in a row at the Vitality Stadium when they welcome Newcastle United to the south coast on Sunday (2pm, Sky Sports Premier League).b The Cherries won their final home game last season and they have picked up where they left off in front of their own fans. Andoni Iraola's men have collected nine points from four games, losing only to Liverpool on the opening night of the 2025/26 campaign.

Newcastle have one win to their name in four matches and the Magpies are hoping to bounce back after losing 2-1 to Barcelona in the Champions League on Thursday. Read on for our Bournemouth vs Newcastle prediction, as well as the latest team news and match odds.

Team News

Bournemouth striker Enes Unal is still sidelined with a knee injury, while right-back Adam Smith is nursing a hamstring problem.

After missing the 2-1 win over Brighton, Bafode Diakite and Ryan Christie are still doubts for the encounter against Newcastle.

Magpies forward Yoane Wissa remains sidelined with a knee injury, while fellow new recruit Jacob Ramsey will also sit out.

Anthony Gordon continues to serve his suspension, while Fabian Schar and Kieran Trippier are both considered doubtful after coming off with injuries against Barcelona.

Bournemouth vs Newcastle Odds

Bournemouth are 11/8 to win on Sunday, with the draw 5/2, while Newcastle are 15/8 to collect all three points on the road.

Both teams to score is priced at 4/6, while new Newcastle striker Nick Woltemade is the 13/8 favourite to score anytime, closely followed by Bournemouth forward Evanilson at 7/4.

There have been at least two goals scored in the last five meetings between the pair and over 2.5 goals is available at 4/5.

Bournemouth to win @ 11/8

Newcastle boss Eddie Howe returns to his former club and it may not be an enjoyable trip for him.

The Cherries have momentum behind them after three consecutive wins and their energetic style has caused issues for several teams already.

Newcastle will have been fired up for their home meeting with Barcelona, but this is a short turnaround and then a long trip to the coast for the Magpies.

Howe's side won only one of their four away games that followed Champions League games when they were last in the competition in the 2023/24 season and all signs point to a home win.

Under 2.5 goals @ 1/1

Bournemouth have been in good form in front of goal, netting six times in four matches, but they may have to grind out a win on Sunday.

Newcastle lost 3-2 to champions Liverpool in August, but have kept clean sheets in their other three Premier League games, against Wolves, Leeds and Aston Villa.

Knowing that his players are bound to be tired, Howe will set his team up to defend and keep things tight, and it would be a surprise to see three goals scored at the Vitality Stadium.
