Bournemouth is coming into this match playing in awful form in their recent matches as they have lost their last 2 straight as well as 5 of their last 6 matches. They are coming off of a 6-1 loss to Man City in their last match, but they have also played much better at home all season as they have collected 5 of their 6 points there this year and this is their best opportunity to take some points at home against a struggling Newcastle side. They are going up against a Newcastle side that has not been in their best form recently as they only have 2 wins in their last 5 matches as well as 2 losses. Newcastle is also in an awful situation here as they have already been struggling recently with their form but now the suspensions and injuries are starting to pile up for them with many key players missing for this match. Newcastle has a very good squad when they are healthy and they have shown that they can be one of the best in the Premier League with the way they performed last season. They simply have too many key injuries in this match though and they are going to be putting out a very weak starting XI with not a lot of depth on the bench either. Bournemouth has been bad this season but they are not as bad with the quality of players they have on the team as the way they have been playing and this is going to be a great opportunity for them to get points at home, especially considering they gave Newcastle trouble last season as well. Bournemouth will win this match at home or at least draw, take Bournemouth +0.5 here.
England Premier League: Bournemouth +0.5, Rot. 200106
