Newcastle vs Bournemouth Prediction 10 January 2026
🔊 Premier League teams are set to kick off their FA Cup campaigns, and the draw has paired two sides together in the third round-Newcastle and Bournemouth.

Editorial Prediction
Newcastle have struggled against Bournemouth, unable to defeat the "Cherries" for over three years now. While comparing the current form of both teams might seem unwise, even during their rough patches, Andoni Iraola's side have not been pushovers. Bournemouth have found the net in their last eight away games, and Newcastle have had defensive issues, even at home; both teams have scored in six of their last seven matches at St James' Park. This is where we suggest placing your bet: both teams to score (yes). Considering recent performances, we anticipate an entertaining match with plenty of goals, predicting a 3-2 win for the hosts.
