Whilst the Champions League journey was fun, it has been a disastrous season for Newcastle. From losing Alexander Isak to being nowhere near the European places, the Magpies just want this season to end.
As for Bournemouth, they still have a chance to achieve something massive and will be determined to do so before Andoni Ireola leaves this summer.
I’m taking the away side to win this game.
Other markets include Evanilson to score, Marcus Tavernier to have two or more shots from outside the box and Anthony Gordon to have two or more shots on target.
