Bournemouth's injuries are serious. Their right back James Hill was injured again just after returning from the last game, which means that their first-team injury list has reached 9 people!
In addition to Hill, their first-team only two center forwards Evanilson and Unard, midfield core Tavernier, defense general Adam Smith, Senesi, and a group of substitutes Sinisterra, Alex Scott, Julian Araujo are all injured.
So far in the winter window, they have signed Chelsea's youth training youngsters, and one of them will basically not be selected for the first team. Instead, they sent away last season's midfield general Philip Billing. Although he did not start many times this season, the depth of the lineup has further decreased. I counted their first-team player list. Counting the two goalkeepers Kepa and Travers, there are only 12 players available. The rest are only the youth training youngsters who were urgently called back and the loaned player Jebison who can't even play as a starter in the Championship.
It was outrageous that they could get points against Chelsea in the last game. They only changed two players in the whole game, because there were 8 young players from the youth training on the bench, all of them were U21 players, and they had no one to change!
This is fatal in the intensive schedule. What's more, they have to travel from the southernmost South Coast area of England, vertically across the whole of England, to the home of Newcastle, the northernmost team in the Premier League. The whole game is more than 400km, and it takes more than 8 hours by train. The expedition to Newcastle is the farthest away game for Bournemouth!
Newcastle has returned to the team. They don't have many injuries. Recently, they have won 9 consecutive games, and Isaac has scored in 8 consecutive games. In the last 8 games, he has 10 goals and 3 assists. He is in a hot state. expect that Newcastle will beat Bournemouth, who is full of injuries, at home and break the longest winning streak in team history!
Newcastle United-0.75
