Newcastle Team News
Newcastle beat Crystal Palace in the last round of the EFL Cup on penalties and reached the round of 16, where Bournemouth awaits them. The break due to the World Cup lasted long enough for fans to crave club football and Magpie fans are no exception.
The manager of this team, Eddie Howe, used the break to organize a team that has not lost in recent weeks. They fell respectively in friendly matches Rayo Vallecano 2:1 and Al-Hilal 5:0. Newcastle is in a severe competitive slump. They have three consecutive wins in the Championship and five in the Premier League. They played with Chrystal Palace without goals in the regular course of the match, then won on penalties, but that does not reflect the real strength of this team. Observing the last rounds, one gets the impression that they can score more goals in almost every game.
Bournemouth Team News
Bournemouth demolished Everton 4:1 in the last round of the EFL Cup. Such a result is not surprising when we know that this team is currently second on the Championship table and has won three consecutive victories. The Bournemouth team also met Everton three days after the cup match. This time it was the match of the fifteenth round of the Premier League. This match was also played at Vitality Stadium; the guests lost 3:0 and will remember this football temple for a long time.
The team led by Gary O’Neil has found a recipe by which his footballers can compete with the best teams in England. He is happy because more football players can score a goal in the ranks. Against Everton, they were: Jaidon Anthony, Marcus Tavernier, and Kieffer Moore, and there are still candidates for the next matches. In the Premier League, Bournemouth is in 14th place and broke the bad streak with a win against Everton. Before that, they ordered four lost matches, so the next few games should show whether Bournemouth is back in top form or the last victories are coincidental.
