Saturday brings seven Premier League games and we are covering four of them. Bournemouth are at St James' Park in the lunchtime slot, Leeds at the Amex and Crystal Palace at Craven Cottage among the 3pm kick-offs, and Aston Villa at the MKM Stadium in the evening.
Hull have won both their league games and have not conceded a goal yet. Villa go there bottom of the table on nought points, without a goal in either of their opening two, and the market still makes them favourites.
Friday Result
One from two on Friday night. Genoa and Como had four goals on the board by the 40th minute on the way to a 1-4 finish, so the FT Over 2.5 at 2.36 returned a profit and the first-goal continuation trigger came in alongside it. Stuttgart’s Second Half Under 1.5 at 2.33 did not survive a 4-1 win that brought four goals after the break.
Newcastle United v AFC Bournemouth (12:30pm UK)
Newcastle are 2.10 at home, with the draw at 3.60 and Bournemouth out at 3.00. Matthias Jaissle’s side are unbeaten after a 2-2 draw with Liverpool and a 2-0 win over Tottenham, while Marco Rose is still waiting on his first league win. The xG trend is moderate at a combined 3.05, Newcastle on 1.52 against Bournemouth’s 1.53, and those numbers are still carried over from last term. Newcastle’s recent home sample reads two wins, two draws and two defeats, with just 0.83 goals scored per game against 1.00 conceded, and their expected goals against at home running at 1.76. Bournemouth have won three and lost three on the road across the same span, scoring 1.34 a game and conceding 1.56. Jaissle is without Dan Burn and Joelinton.
