Newcastle United vs Bournemouth Prediction: the Magpies' Coach to Upset His Former Team

Newcastle United hosts Bournemouth. The teams will fight to reach the quarterfinals of the EFL Cup. The meeting will be crucial for the Magpies coach Eddie Howe, who is known for his work at Bournemouth. Will he upset the former team?

Newcastle United is the actual discovery of the current EPL campaign. After the change of ownership, the club made some great transfers and did not spend much money. Still, Eddie Howe has managed to create a powerful team, which ranks third this season. The Magpies played their last official match at home against Chelsea and achieved a minimal advantage over the Aristocrats - 1:0. The club also played in two friendlies. The Magpies thrashed at 5:0 Al-Hilal and beat Rayo Vallecano 2:1. 

Bournemouth played poorly before the World Cup break. After a 2:2 draw with Fulham, the Cherries played four games in the Premier League and failed to earn a single point. The club lost to Southampton, West Ham United, Tottenham, and Leeds United. The score during that stretch was 5:11. However, Bournemouth sent three unanswered goals to Everton in the final match. Before that, the club also defeated the Toffees in the EFL Cup by 4:1. Bournemouth is 14th in the EPL standings. 

It won't be easy for Bournemouth at St. James' Park, as Newcastle United is looking to challenge for the title in the EPL and the League Cup. Not surprisingly, the Magpies are the favorites of the game. The clubs' recent encounters have been productive. The visitors might shoot a few times, but the Newcastle players' class will make a difference here. In addition, Eddie Howe intends to upset his former team once again. In the first EPL round, the teams exchanged goals, but in the Cup, Newcastle will prove the status of the favorites.
