Expert Betting Tips

The favorite is Newcastle United. Bournemouth managed to quickly forget the defeat against Liverpool. However, the trip to the Magpies will be very difficult. Eddie Howe's side are good at home.

We believe that there will be a lot of goals scored in this game and Newcastle will take three points.
