Bournemouth have won just one of their last nine Premier League games against Newcastle (D5, L3). They won two of their first three games against the Magpies (L1).
Newcastle failed to concede a goal in their first Premier League match against Bournemouth (1-0 in November 2015) and have conceded at least one goal in each of their last eleven games against the Cherries.
Bournemouth have not won any of their last eight Premier League games (D3, L5) since a 2-0 win over Aston Villa in August 2022. In those eight winless games, the Cherries have scored three goals and conceded 23.
Newcastle are looking to win their first two Premier League games of a season for the first time since the 1997/98 season under Kenny Dalglish.
19 of Bournemouth’s last 25 Premier League goals have come in the second half, with 65.5% of the goals they scored under Andoni Iraola coming after the break (36/55). In Premier League history, among managers whose teams scored over 50 goals, only Michael Laudrup (72.4%) and Steve Clarke (66.2%) have scored a higher proportion of goals in the second half.
Newcastle United beat Southampton 1-0 on Matchday 1 thanks to a goal from Joelinton, despite playing with 10 men from the 28th minute and only having 22.2% possession. It was the Magpies’ lowest possession in a Premier League win since August 2019 against Spurs (19.8%) – a game they also won 1-0 thanks to a goal from Joelinton.
Newcastle United’s away games in the Premier League last season saw 76 goals scored (36 for, 40 against), the most by a team in a season since Chelsea in 2019/20 (77 – 39 for, 38 against). At least four goals were scored in eight of their ten away games in 2024, for an overall average of 4.4 goals per game.
Antoine Semenyo has scored six goals in his last 13 Premier League games for Bournemouth. His goal against Nottingham Forest was his 10th in the competition, making him the seventh Ghanaian to score 10 or more goals. The only African countries with more players with 10 goals are Nigeria (17), Senegal (14) and Ivory Coast (10).
Newcastle manager Eddie Howe has never beaten his former club Bournemouth in four Premier League attempts (D3 L1). The Cherries are one of only three teams Howe has faced but failed to beat, along with Luton (D1 L1) and Man City (D1 L15).
Bournemouth’s Alex Scott made eight tackles in the 1-1 draw with Nottingham Forest on Matchday 1, the most of any Cherries player in a Premier League game. He also won 13 tackles, four more than any other player in the game.
