The Goals Are Coming

In a game which already shapes us as a proverbial six-pointer, the one thing we should be guaranteed is excitement.

Both teams concede on average at least two goals a game and the fact that both will see this as a real opportunity for a rare win should ensure end-to-end action.

We’re going for over 4.5 goals in the match at best odds of 11/2 (BetVictor) because not only do these sides generally defend poorly, they also have a threat going forward.

Bournemouth had 16 attempts on goal at St Mary’s Stadium last time out and 11 the week before at Anfield. Let’s not forget that the Cherries put four past West Ham earlier in the campaign and sooner or later they’ll start finding the net again with these numbers.

It’s a very similar story for Newcastle who have somehow had 36 unsuccessful attempts in their last two top flight outings.

Both lively attacks will be up against vulnerable defences on Saturday and the outcome will surely be a few goals.
