Newcastle make the long journey to the south coast on Sunday to take on Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium in the Premier League.
With the departure of Dominic Solanke to Tottenham Hotspur, Bournemouth may have faced some apprehension as they embarked on the new season.
However, the Cherries began their campaign positively with a 1-1 draw away at Nottingham Forest, thanks to Antoine Semenyo’s late equalizer. Finishing twelfth in the Premier League last season, just one point shy of a mid-table spot, it will be a challenge for Andoni Iraola’s side to surpass that achievement this year.

A victory in this match could boost their confidence and spark some optimism within the squad.
Newcastle United started their Premier League season with intensity, despite being reduced to ten men after Fabian Schar’s red card just 28 minutes in. The Magpies still managed to secure all three points, with Joelinton’s goal just before halftime proving decisive.
However, it’s difficult to assess Newcastle’s form based on a match where they had limited possession and three shots on goal, though the most important takeaway was their winning start.
Historically, these two teams have met six times at the Vitality Stadium in the Premier League, with four of those encounters seeing both sides find the net.
Newcastle won just six of their nineteen away league games last season and have only triumphed twice at this venue, while Bournemouth have only managed one home win against the Magpies.
A draw with both teams scoring seems a likely outcome in this encounter.
