Bournemouth vs Newcastle tips and predictions: Short-handed Magpies to earn narrow victory
- Robbie Savage
- 10 November 2023
Despite their growing injury list, Planet Sport Bet’s Robbie Savage is tipping Newcastle to beat Bournemouth in the Premier League on Saturday early evening (1730).
Well, what a place to go for Newcastle because in the Premier League, they like going to Bournemouth. In the last five meetings, they’ve won two and drawn three at Bournemouth.
Yes, Newcastle have injuries, but I think Bournemouth will go down this season - which I never thought would have been the case before the start of the season.
But I think Newcastle will be looking to win, they’ve got a good record there. I’m going with a 1-0 Newcastle win.

Planet Sport’s other bets to consider
Bournemouth’s 2-1 win against Burnley hasn’t papered over the cracks of what’s happening at the Vitality Stadium.
Andoni Iraola hasn’t been able to get his system across in a way that translates to results despite the fact Bournemouth seem to have the personnel.
The Cherries are more than capable of high-energy and high-press but teams are finding ways through it too often. They’re averaging 2.45 goals against per game.
You’d think this game might be a good opportunity to get after it given Newcastle’s extensive injury list and midweek trip to Dortmund.
However, we saw the sort of depth Eddie Howe has at his disposal in the win at Old Trafford. If Bournemouth push on, the Magpies have the players to exploit that.
Despite their shambolic defensive numbers, Bournemouth could be facing a Newcastle side without a recognised striker after Callum Wilson limped off in Germany.
On the other hand, Bournemouth are rarely a huge threat even with a full complement. They’ve averaged less than a goal a game and have failed to score in three of five at home.
