Newcastle vs Bournemouth Prediction & Betting Tips - Carabao Cup

Prediction published on 19/12/2022, 03:05  by Daniel Ngulu in Carabao Cup Prediction

Newcastle United will have another chance to extend their fine start to the season when they return to action post World Cup, with a home game against Bournemouth in the League Cup. This Round of 16 clash is one of two featuring all Premier League sides and marks a second meeting of these two sides this season. The first ended 1-1 with Newcastle United coming from behind in the league clash. Newcastle played two friendly matches ahead of this game and won both, beating Rayo Vallecano 2-1 and Al Hilal 5-0. They are unbeaten in 11 matches and won seven of them. They haven’t conceded in five of the last seven matches and at home, Newcastle United have three wins in four without conceding.

Bournemouth’s season hasn’t been as rosy as Newcastle United’s but they registered two straight wins in their last action before the World Cup break. Both wins were against Everton; a 4-1 victory in the previous round of this competition, and a 3-0 win in the Premier League. Their recent matches have been high scoring but Bournemouth have managed just one clean sheet in their last five games. In three of their last five matches, they’ve conceded two or more goals, while they have scored two or more in each of the last four. Each of Bournemouth’s last four matches has produced over 2.5 goals; they have a good scoring run and will hope this guides them to improve on their three wins in the last 10 matches.
