Bournemouth are unbeaten in six Premier League meetings with Newcastle, hammering them 4-1 at St James' Park in January, with the Magpies winning just two of ten visits to Dean Court.
Bournemouth vs Newcastle preview
Bournemouth begin the weekend in the Premier League's top four, so can they continue their excellent start to the campaign? Last weekend, Andoni Iraola's side made it three wins in a row, defeating South Coast rivals Brighton 2-1 at Dean Court; Alex Scott breaking the deadlock, before Antoine Semenyo converted a spot-kick later on.
Before this, the Cherries had enjoyed 1-0 victories over Tottenham and Wolves, albeit both were substantially more comprehensive than the scorelines would suggest. As Bournemouth aim to qualify for Europe for the first time ever, will they win a fourth successive Premier League game for the first time since Boxing Day 2023?
Newcastle United meantime took centre stage on Thursday night, welcoming Barcelona to a raucous St James' Park on matchday one of the Champions League. Eddie Howe's side certainly gave a good account of themselves, but were ultimately beaten 2-1 by the Spanish champions, Marcus Rashford scoring twice, while Anthony Gordon's goal back came too late to ignite a full-scale comeback.
Meantime, in the Premier League, the Magpies enjoyed their first victory of the campaign last weekend, with debutant Nick Woltemade's towering header enough to defeat Wolves on Tyneside. However, that Thursday night clash with Barça will undoubtably have taken a lot out of them so, against pressing masters Bournemouth, the Toon Army could be in for a long afternoon in Dorset.

Bournemouth team news
Centre-back Bafodé Diakité sat out the victory over Brighton due to a knock, but there is optimism he'll be fit enough to return, after Veljko Milosavljević deputised and debuted last weekend.
Elsewhere, Ben Gannon Doak will be hoping for some game time, having been an unused substitute a week ago, while Lewis Cook did come off the bench, his first appearance of the season due to injury.
Bournemouth predicted lineup vs Newcastle United: (4-3-3): Petrović, Smith, Senesi, Diakité, Truffert; Adams, Scott, Gannon Doak, Tavernier, Semenyo; Evanilson.
Bournemouth player to watch vs Newcastle
Antoine Semenyo has already scored three Premier League goals this season, to build on the 11 he bagged during the last campaign, so will he net against Newcastle for a second time?
Newcastle team news
In contrast to his opposite number, Eddie Howe returns to Bournemouth having had basically no preparation time, overseeing a recovery session on Friday followed by a 350 mile trip south on Saturday, the longest journey in the Premier League.
Surprisingly, having scored on debut against Wolves, Nick Woltemade was left on the bench against Barcelona. Here however, considering this is the final match of Anthony Gordon's three-game suspension, the tall German will surely return, with Yoane Wissa still on the sidelines.
At the back, Fabian Schär suffered a rather nasty he knock in mid-week, so could be out due to a concussion, which would see summer signing Malick Thiaw make his full Premier League debut.
Newcastle United predicted lineup vs Bournemouth: (4-3-3): Pope; Trippier, Thiaw, Burn, Livramento; Guimarães, Tonali, Joelinton; Elanga, Woltemade, Barnes.
Newcastle player to watch vs Bournemouth
Anthony Elanga was electric against Barcelona, causing Gerard Martín problems all night, so can he bag his first Newcastle goal, having netted against Bournemouth once before?
Bournemouth vs Newcastle prediction
We are backing Bournemouth to win this one, simply because Newcastle will be exhausted following their mid-week exploits, and the Cherries should take full advantage: Bournemouth 2-1 Newcastle.
