A lunchtime kick-off at St James' Park pits an in-form Newcastle against a stubborn Bournemouth side who have made themselves a genuine nuisance for the Toon in recent years.
Newcastle sit on four points from their opening two fixtures, having drawn 2-2 with Liverpool before a fine 2-0 win at Tottenham. The hosts arrive with real momentum.
Bournemouth have just one point on the board, beaten 2-1 at Manchester City on the opening weekend before a 1-1 draw with Everton. The Cherries are yet to fully click.
There is history here for the visitors, who have won two of the last six meetings between these sides, with the other four ending level. Newcastle are still chasing a way through.
Newcastle vs Bournemouth Form
Newcastle have started the season brightly, taking four points from their first two Premier League outings with a 2-2 draw against Liverpool and a 2-0 win at Tottenham. Yoane Wissa has led the line well, scoring at Spurs and contributing against Liverpool. The engine room looks settled and the finishing has been clinical.
Bournemouth have made a slower start, picking up a single point from a 2-1 defeat at Manchester City and a 1-1 draw at Everton. That said, the Cherries remain hard to beat, undefeated in 19 of their last 20 Premier League matches, and dangerous on the counter through the likes of Marcus Tavernier and Evanilson up top.

Best Bets
Back Over 2.5 Goals in the Total Goals Over/Under market for Newcastle's match against Bournemouth. The projection points to just shy of three goals in this one, split 1.6 for Newcastle and 1.28 for Bournemouth, so an open and high-tempo fixture makes Over 2.5 Goals a sensible starting point.
Select Evanilson Over 2.5 Shots in the Player Shots market. Evanilson is the focal point of the Bournemouth attack and carries a strong probability of getting three or more shots away against a Newcastle backline that has been carved open plenty already this season.
Newcastle vs Bournemouth Bet Builder
Wissa has scored in each of his last three appearances against Bournemouth in the Premier League, so backing him in the Anytime Goalscorer market makes plenty of sense on that record.
Bournemouth have picked up over 1.5 team cards in nine of their last nine matches against Newcastle, so the visitors landing that total again looks a reliable leg.
Tavernier has recorded at least one shot on target in five of his last six appearances against Newcastle in the Premier League, keeping him a strong option for over 0.5 shots on target.

Newcastle vs Bournemouth Talking Points
This one is a battle of two German head coaches appointed in 2026, and the early signs point in opposite directions. Newcastle have hit the ground running, though they have ridden their luck at times, facing 44 shots across their opening two matches against Liverpool and Tottenham. That defensive fragility is the obvious way in for a Bournemouth side who thrive on the counter and remain a genuine bogey team, undefeated in their last eight against the Toon in all competitions. Yoane Wissa is the man in form for the hosts, scoring at Spurs after a goal contribution against Liverpool, and he loves this fixture.
