Newcastle United vs Bournemouth Preview
Newcastle enters Matchday 3 with four points from its opening two matches under Matthias Jaissle. The campaign began with a 2-2 draw against Liverpool, followed by a 2-0 away win over Tottenham Hotspur.
Jaissle has brought a more aggressive defensive approach. The home side currently ranks sixth in the league for total fouls committed.
Bournemouth is still searching for consistency under Marco Rose. The Cherries lost 2-1 to Manchester City before drawing 1-1 with Everton.
Rose’s high-pressing system has worked well early in games. The problem has been protecting leads late in matches.
