The Cherries seek to make the most of their home advantage to secure a win over the Magpies.

AFC Bournemouth, traditionally known for occupying positions in the bottom half of the Premier League table, are looking to rejuvenate and transition into a top-tier club, aiming to become a significant force in English football. Bournemouth started their Premier League campaign with a draw, courtesy of an 86th-minute goal from Semenyo that secured a vital point in their opening match.

The club is currently adjusting to the departure of Dominic Solanke, one of their most influential players in recent seasons, who recently joined Tottenham Hotspur. Despite the loss of such a key player, Bournemouth remain determined to make an impact this season. They are set to face a strong opponent in Newcastle United, but will be buoyed by the support of their home crowd at the Vitality Stadium. This match offers Bournemouth an opportunity to prove their resilience and ambition in the top flight.

Newcastle United FC, a team that was widely anticipated to have a strong campaign last season, ended up facing a disappointing run. They had an exceptional 2022-23 Premier League season, surpassing giants like Liverpool, Tottenham, Aston Villa, and Chelsea to secure a fourth-place finish, earning them a spot in the UEFA Champions League. However, the subsequent season turned out to be disastrous as they exited the Champions League at the group stage and failed to qualify for any of Europe’s top competitions.

This situation, however, could serve as a blessing in disguise for Newcastle. With fewer distractions from European competitions, they have the opportunity to focus entirely on their domestic campaign. The Magpies are now intent on maximizing their performance in the Premier League. They are looking to extend their winning streak to two after a dramatic victory over Southampton in their previous match. Despite being reduced to ten men after Fabian Schär was sent off in the 28th minute, Newcastle managed to secure a win, thanks to a decisive goal from Joelinton, demonstrating their resilience and determination to rebound this season.

We can anticipate this match to be an intriguing encounter. AFC Bournemouth will aim to capitalize on their home advantage at the Vitality Stadium, seeking to turn the support of their fans into a much-needed victory. On the other hand, Newcastle United will be focused on overcoming their injury challenges and demonstrating their depth and resilience. Both teams have different motivations—Bournemouth to establish themselves as a formidable presence in the league and Newcastle to maintain momentum despite recent setbacks. With each side looking to exploit their advantages, this fixture promises to be a compelling battle.

Eddie Howe on Bournemouth:"We had two really tough games against them last season, they are an athletic side who will hurt you on transitions if you are not on it. We are not fooled by how difficult this game will be, we need to be better on the road then we were last season.… pic.twitter.com/FmrBRpKxy9
