AFC Bournemouth vs. Newcastle United - Bet Builder Tips

On Sunday afternoon (25/08/24), Newcastle travel down south to lock horns with Bournemouth in what looks like a finely balanced encounter. Below, we've put together a few Bet Builder tips for the clash at the Vitality Stadium.

Over 2.5 Match Goals, Anthony Gordon To Be Carded, Anthony Gordon 2+ Total Shots - 15/2

Over 2.5 goals occurred the last time these two sides met, when Eddie Howe's side played out a 2-2 draw against Bournemouth at St. James' Park back in February. Not only that, but over 2.5 goals have been scored in four of Bournemouth's last five Premier League games and three of Newcastle's last five stretching back into last season.

Anthony Gordon was Newcastle's most carded player last season, picking up a total of 12 bookings (two of which resulted in a red card) from 38 fouls committed - the second-highest total in the Newcastle team.

Gordon is far more than a nuisance who picks up a bunch of cards, though, as the England man provided a constant goal threat off the left wing, and last season he recorded an average of 2.49 shots per game.

Anthony Gordon to score, Jacob Murphy 1+ SOT, Alex Scott to be fouled 2+ times and both teams to score - 11/1

Anthony Gordon was a potent attacking threat for the Magpies last season, scoring 11 league goals, his highest total to date.

Jacob Murphy, similarly, is a menace down the right for Newcastle, and he doesn't hesitate to fire a shot off on goal when presented with the opportunity, averaging 2.27 shots per game las season, 0.76 of which found the target.

Bournemouth's Alex Scott is a very silky, very cute dribbler in the centre of the park and that's reflected in how often opposing players illegally stop him in his tracks, with the England U21 international fouled 25 times in 11 full 90 minutes completed last season.

Both teams to score has been a feature of recent head-to-head meetings between these two teams, with both sides finding the back of the net in four of the last six encounters. Additionally, BTTS has occurred in all of Bournemouth's last three Premier League games and four of Newcastle's last five.
