Newcastle United v Bournemouth: Prediction, Tips and Odds

Newcastle United's stunning form looks set to continue when they host Bournemouth in the Premier League on Saturday.

The Magpies have now won a joint-club record nine games in a row in all competitions following Wednesday's 3-0 home victory over Wolves.

Eddie Howe's side are on a roll and are very much in contention for a top-four place this season, with in-form striker Alexander Isak powering them forward.

Bournemouth are also in good form and are eighth, just four points behind Saturday's hosts.

Newcastle United v Bournemouth betting tips and predictions

Newcastle to win and both teams to score - 2/1

Newcastle are being talked about as potential dark horses in the title race such is the terrific run of form which has propelled them up to fourth in the table.

Wednesday's comfortable 3-0 win over Wolves was the latest demonstration of their abilities and they should be too good for the Cherries on Saturday as well.

Their six-game winning streak in the league has included fine displays when seeing off Aston Villa, Manchester United and Tottenham and, even though the Cherries will be tricky opponents, Howe's men are full of confidence right now.

In Isak they have one of the best centre-forwards in Europe at the moment, while Sandro Tonali and Anthony Gordon are among the other Magpies players who are at the top of their game.

Bournemouth are on a nine-game unbeaten run of their own in the top-flight, although they have mixed four draws in with five victories compared to Newcastle's perfect record.

However, Andoni Iraola's men have still picked up impressive wins over Tottenham and Man Utd in that spell, while Tuesday's 2-2 draw at Chelsea was another good result.

We should expect the visitors to score - Bournemouth have only failed to find the back of the net in one of their last 15 games in all competitions - but we should also expect red-hot Newcastle to come out on top.

Alexander Isak - Over 1.5 shots on target - 11/10

Isak's brilliant form has been one of the main reasons why the Magpies have soared into the top four in the Premier League, with the Sweden international netting 15 times in the league to also propel him into the Golden Boot conversation.

It would be no surprise to see him net for the ninth league game on the trot this weekend after he became the first Newcastle player to score in eight successive Premier League games in midweek.

Backing the forward to have at least two shots on target appeals considering his form.

Isak has had two or more shots on target in five of his last seven appearances and he's playing with freedom and confidence, where he is instinctively able to get into good positions and make the opposition goalkeeper work.

Isak is thriving at the top end of the pitch as Howe's team continue to work hard and create plenty of good chances for him and he can enjoy another fruitful afternoon against the Cherries.

Sandro Tonali to score or assist - 15/8

Sandro Tonali's emergence as a key midfielder for Newcastle has been one of the stand-out elements of their superb run of form.

The Italian has been instrumental in helping his side control the tempo of games recently and, even though he has not always been involved in the goals, Tonali has been outstanding with his work-rate, passing and positional play.

He has registered two assists and two goals in all competitions and, while those figures are a tad disappointing for a player of his quality, if he keeps performing at the level he currently is at, they surely must improve soon.

Tonali has had 18 shots in total across his last 11 appearances so he continues to try his luck when shooting opportunities arise and he can make an impact against the Cherries in the final third this weekend.
