Newcastle will be looking to continue their perfect start to the season, whilst Bournemouth are hoping to improve on their opening game draw. We expect there to be nothing to split the two teams in this early season matchup, with a high scoring draw on the cards.
The Cherries will likely be bolstered by the presence of new club record signing Evanilson, who was brought in to fill the void left by the recently departed Dominic Solanke. Look for the forward to trouble a backline who will be without the suspended Fabian Schar. Last season, Evanilson scored 13 in 25 starts for Porto, so he should be a key figure in this one.
This has been a very competitive fixture in recent seasons, with three of the least five meetings ending in a draw. Each side has scored at least once in the previous six meetings, with the BBTS market landing in four of the last five. Two of the last six have ended 2-2, and this is the result we are going for here – Bournemouth 2-2 Newcastle
