• Bournemouth have not lost since opening day of the season

• Newcastle coming off 2-1 Champions League defeat to Barcelona

• Recommended bet: Antoine Semenyo to score anytime

Bournemouth have started the season well under Andoni Iraola, winning three of their opening four Premier League matches.

The lone defeat came against Liverpool on the opening matchday, yet they came close to stealing a share of the spoils at Anfield that evening.

The match was level at 2-2 heading into the final minutes, before the Reds scored two late goals.

Meanwhile, Newcastle have not been at their free-flowing best this season, scoring just three goals across four domestic games so far.

The Magpies also suffered a 2-1 defeat at home to Barcelona on their return to the Champions League on Thursday.

Team news

Enes Unal remains out for the Cherries, while Adam Smith picked up a hamstring injury against Tottenham and is not available for selection.

Bafode Diakite and Ryan Christie missed the clash against Brighton with minor knocks, but Iraola will be hopeful that the duo return to the squad for this contest.

For the Magpies, summer signing Yoane Wissa is still injured and will have to wait for his debut, while Jacob Ramsey is also ruled out.

Anthony Gordon – who scored against Barca – is suspended for this game on Sunday, meaning Eddie Howe will have to rejig his attacking options.

The stats

Bournemouth are undefeated against Newcastle across their previous five matches, stretching back to December 2022.

In that period, they have won twice and drawn three, with the 4-1 victory earlier this year the notable stand out.

The Cherries have conceded only five goals in the Premier League, but four of them came against the defending champions.

Newcastle do have a much better defensive record, conceding just three times and all those goals were scored by Liverpool.

However, Howe's men have netted just three times and his forward options have not quite clicked into gear.

Antoine Semenyo and Evanilson have scored four of Bournemouth's six goals and Iraola will be counting on that pair to shine once again.

Nick Woltenmade opened his Newcastle account against Wolves last time out and the Magpies will hope he can be an instant Alexander Isak replacement.

Prediction

Newcastle's tricky trip to the Vitality Stadium could not have come at a worse time for the club.

Missing two quality attacking players in Gordon and Wissa, plus Ramsey being ruled out, makes their task even more difficult.

Iraola will be determined to continue the recent good form of his side as they look to retain their top-four place in the fledgling standings.

The Cherries can exploit the lack of cohesion in Newcastle's starting XI on Sunday and secure another Premier League victory.

With Semenyo leading the line, expect the Ghanaian to get on the scoresheet once again in the top-flight.
