Newcastle – Bournemouth: keep it rolling after the league 
St. James’ Park hosts a 100% Premier League FA Cup tie on Saturday. Newcastle and Bournemouth arrive after midweek dramas that boosted their confidence, and everything’s set for an open, lively game.
Newcastle: St. James’ Park buzzing 
The Magpies are riding a serious wave. That spectacular win over Leeds, nicked in the dying seconds after a completely out-of-control match, has cranked up the momentum around Eddie Howe’s squad. Already solid in the league, the Northeast men have planted themselves firmly in the race for Europe.
Since the year’s start, Newcastle have raised their level: three straight Premier League wins and a rediscovered attacking edge. At home it’s simple: St. James’ Park is a fortress again, twelve matches unbeaten in all competitions.
The FA Cup now looks like a proper target. Backed by their crowd and clear collective confidence, Newcastle will approach this tie determined to keep the run going.
Bournemouth: fuelled by the upset 
Bournemouth arrive in Tyneside after a win that was both vital and spectacular. Against Tottenham the Cherries flipped it in the final minutes — a result that could spark a turnaround after a tough few weeks.
Their recent record is still worrying. Andoni Iraola’s men have often lacked consistency against Premier League sides and struggle to string results together. Still, this squad has shown it can spring a surprise — remember their last trip to St. James’, which ended in a comfortable win.
Freed by that qualification and carrying little pressure, the visitors could go for it in a cup where margins often close.
Probable lineups
Newcastle :
Pope (GK) ; Thiaw, Schär, Hall ; Tonali, Bruno Guimarães (C), Joelinton, Miley ; Barnes, Gordon, Woltemade
Bournemouth :

Football Prediction Newcastle vs Bournemouth
Both teams to score
Both sides come out of totally wild games, and their attacking forms invite optimism. Newcastle attack a lot at home, while Bournemouth play without fear and often leave gaps. An open game with goals at both ends looks the likeliest outcome.
First, a word about our predictions
- What we publish on Mathodds are analyses, nothing more. We share an opinion, a snapshot read, never a guarantee. Sport is what it is: unpredictable. A red card, an injury, a freak goal… and the whole script changes.
- Let’s be clear: there’s no risk-free bet. Even when something looks “obvious”, it’s not. And yes, that means you can lose. It’s inevitable at some point.
- Best to be sensible. Bet small, set a budget and stick to it. Don’t touch money you need to live. And above all: don’t chase losses — it rarely ends well.
- A bet should stay a pastime, not a job or a source of income. If it starts to take over your life, annoys you or puts you under pressure, take a break. If needed, speak to a specialised service. That’s what they’re for.
- Ultimately, you’re responsible. Reading our content means accepting that risk exists and won’t vanish, even with the smartest analysis.
- Essential reminder: betting is banned for minors and must follow your country’s law. Gambling can spiral (money loss, family tension, addiction). Need Help? Call 1-800-GAMBLER. In the UK? Visit https://www.gambleaware.org/https://www.gambleaware.org/.
No promises from us
Our predictions aren’t a contract. They carry no legal weight. In short: you can’t rely on them to claim anything if a bet loses.
Information that can change
A tip is based on what we know when we write it. But in the meantime a team sheet (like Newcastle’s) can change, a player gets injured, the weather turns… and the analysis can quickly be out of date. We can’t be held responsible for that.
Your role
Before betting, just check that gambling is legal where you are. If it isn’t, that’s on you, not us.
Responsible gambling above all
We won’t say it enough: gamble in moderation. If you struggle to keep control, don’t wait to seek help. We can’t be responsible for compulsive or excessive use of the site’s info.
