Our prediction for this Premier League match:
Vitality Stadium will be the centre of attention when Bournemouth and Newcastle United go head to head in the Premier League round 2. The Cherries head into Sunday’s clash following a 1-1 draw with Nottingham Forest and, no doubt, they would be happy with yet another share of spoils. All Tyler Adams, David Brooks, and Enes Unal are out of contention with injuries for the home side.
Anyhow, we believe that new Tottenham striker Dominic Solanke is going to be sorely missed in the 2024/2025 Premier League campaign. The Magpies, on the other hand, did well to beat Southampton 1-0 in their opener despite Fabian Schar’s early sending-off. The Switzerland defender is banned for Sunday’s clash, with Emil Krafth likely to step up. As Newcastle are not regarded as good travellers, we are tempted to put our money on draw. Talented midfielder Lewis Miley remains in the recovery room.
Highlighted Team (Newcastle):
Newcastle United failed to impress in the 2015/2016 Premier League campaign and, as a result, they dropped to the English second tier. The Magpies will host their rivals at their St. James’ Park in the 2016/2017 Championship campaign and it has to be noted that the capacity of the stadium is 52,354.
Newcastle United have won four domestic trophies (1904/1905, 1906/1907, 1908/1909, 1926/1927), while lifting six FA Cup titles (1910, 1924, 1932, 1951, 1952, 1955) and a number of star players were part of the St. James’ Park outfit in the past.
David Ginola, Michael Owen, Alan Shearer, Les Ferdinand, Nolberto Solano, Gary Speed, Obafemi Martins and Kevin Nolan are notable footballers who are still remembered at the club. Newcastle’s fiercest rivals are Sunderland and there have always been fireworks when the two local rivals face each other in the Tyne-Wear derby. The color of Newcastle’s home kit is black and white.
