On September 17, the match of the eighth round of the English Premier League will take place, in which Newcastle will play at home with Bournemouth. The forecast for this match is given by a well-known journalist, football scout and analyst Artur Petrosyan.
Newcastle have suffered only 1 defeat this season, losing 1-2 away to Liverpool at the end of August. But at the same time, in the six rounds played, the Magpies won only once, in the opening round beating the championship newcomer Nottingham Forest (2-0). In general, Eddie Howe's team looks very nice in the game, but there is not enough luck somewhere, so we have to settle for a modest 11th place for now.
Bournemouth, on the other hand, looks like the weakest team in the Premier League, but has the same 7 points in the asset that Newcastle have. After the dismissal of Scott Parker, fortune favours the Cherries – at the end of August they kept a draw at home with Wolverhampton (0:0), and in the first September match they got an incredible strong-willed victory away over Nottingham Forest (3:2), losing by two goals during the second half.
Artur Petrosyan believes that the forced pause in the championship, associated with the death of Queen Elizabeth II, will harm Bournemouth, which will lose the fuse of the win-win series that has begun. Newcastle are simply stronger, even despite the absence of Saint Maximin. In addition, Guimaraes and Isak returned to the "forty" clip. The expert does not expect a scoring extravaganza in the match, but is convinced of the victory of the home team.
