Premier League on Sky Sports: AFC Bournemouth vs Newcastle United betting preview and tips
AFC Bournemouth and Newcastle United meet this Super Sunday in a Premier League match-up full of familiar faces and burgeoning momentum, with European adventures and league ambitions already on the line.
The Cherries, it must be said, have quietly built on last season’s progress and are already sitting pretty amongst the elite in the top four.
For the Magpies, manager Eddie Howe returns once again to his old stomping ground, still searching for a first Premier League win against his former club.
Here, Sports New Blitz outlines all the best bets and key stats ahead of an intriguing clash.
The tale so far
Bournemouth have started the season brightly, recovering from an opening-day loss at Liverpool with three straight wins against Wolverhampton Wanderers, Tottenham Hotspur, and Brighton & Hove Albion.
Manager Andoni Iraola’s side have moreover looked sharp at both ends, conceding just once in that winning run and playing with real purpose.
They flirted with European qualification last term, and early signs suggest they’re ready to push again.
Newcastle, meanwhile, edged past Wolves last weekend thanks to a debut goal from record signing Nick Woltemade.
Before heading to the Vitality, they’ll host Barcelona in a mouth-watering Champions League clash – a fixture that’s both historic and, more importantly, demanding.
Even so, Howe will be determined to finally crack the Bournemouth code and build on last week’s win.

Best bets
Bournemouth to win or draw
Bournemouth have had the upper hand in this fixture in recent years, going unbeaten against Newcastle – and Howe – in the league since 2020.
As a result, all signs seem to be pointing to another Cherries victory.
Both teams to score
This one has all the makings of a goal-fest, with both teams scoring in 10 of the last 12 meetings.
If you’re looking for a safe bet, backing both sides to find the net might just be the way to go.
Antoine Semenyo to have over 0.5 shots on target
Cherries winger Antoine Semenyo has fired shots at goal in every Premier League game so far this season.
With Newcastle likely to shuffle their squad after high-profile European action, you can expect him to keep up the pressure in this one.
