Newcastle vs Bournemouth Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 18th April 2026

Newcastle enjoy home advantage, when visitors Bournemouth swing by on Saturday for a clash in the Premier League. The former will be looking to make that home advantage count.

As Newcastle are highly expected to claim the victory against Bournemouth, they should be able to finish the round ahead of their upcoming opponent. It is safe to say though, that the visitors will want to get some more distance to the hosts after this game.

Newcastle go into their next Premier League match, scoring a humble average of 1.3 per game in their last ten matches. They scored a mundane 13 times, while conceding 20. That amounts to an average of two per game, where they kept their opponents from scoring one times.

Bournemouth are currently decent goalscorers, as they managed a bearable 13 goals in the past ten outings for an average of 1.3 goals a game. Their opponents scored a total of eight goals, and while Bournemouth claimed four clean sheets, they conceded an average of 0.8 goals per match.

Betting on the draw would have earned you a sound profit the last time Newcastle played Bournemouth. The pair finished even in a 0-0 match, where no one managed to get the upper hand.
