Bournemouth vs Newcastle Stats-Based Bet Builder Tips: Semenyo stars in 22/1 punt

Three days after their defeat to Barcelona in the Champions League, Newcastle United travel to the Vitality Stadium on Sunday afternoon (14:30 BST, live on Sky Sports Premier League) to face Bournemouth.

After kicking-off their campaign with a 4-2 defeat at Anfield, Bournemouth won their next two matches 1-0 at home to Wolverhampton Wanderers and away at Tottenham Hotspur respectively. Read on for our Bournemouth vs Newcastle stats-based bet builder tips.

Bournemouth vs Newcastle Odds

Match Result - Bournemouth

Newcastle were roared on by a typically noisy Toon Army on Thursday night in a blockbuster Champions League clash with Barcelona, but the Catalonians ultimately prevailed courtesy of a Marcus Rashford brace.

And less than 72 hours later, Eddie Howe's men face a difficult trip down south against an in-form Bournemouth side. We think the Magpies are likely to be jaded by Thursday's contest, and should be opposed here - which is why we're starting this bet builder off by backing the Cherries in terms of the match result.

Since losing to defending champions Liverpool on the opening day, Andoni Iraola's side have won three on the bounce, seeing off Spurs, Wolves and Brighton & Hove Albion.

The Cherries have been particularly solid defensively, restricting Brighton to just six shots last weekend, and we can't see a tired Newcastle attack troubling Bournemouth's backline on Sunday.

Total Goals Over/Under 2.5 - Under

With a solid defence and the ability to score crucial goals, Bournemouth look well-prepared for this clash. Newcastle's defence has also been solid but they don't tend to score a lot of goals at the other end of the pitch, and we especially don't think they will here after Thursday's contest with Barca.

Under 2.5 goals certainly appeals for Sunday's match-up as this bet has landed in two of Bournemouth's last three matches, while the same bet has also come in in three of Newcastle's four league outings this term.

A cagey, tactical battle is what we're expecting on the south coast on Sunday, with the odd goal deciding proceedings.

Player 1+ Assists - Antoine Semenyo

To round off this bet builder, we've picked out Bournemouth star Antoine Semenyo to record an assist.

The 25-year-old has made a blistering start to the 2025/26 campaign as he bagged a brace in the opening-day defeat to Liverpool before setting up the only goal of the game in Bournemouth's win over Wolves.

The Ghana international was also involved in Bournemouth's opener against Brighton before scoring the winner from 12 yards out, so the Cherries man appeals here to get another assist against the Magpies.
