Newcastle take on the visitors Bournemouth in the 1/8-finals of EFL Cup. The match will be played on Tuesday, December 20th at St. James' Park (Newcastle).
Newcastle continue their incredible progress this season. The “Magpies” met last Christmas in the status of a hopeless underdog in the Premier League. However, by that time the project had already been bought from Ashley by a fund from Saudi Arabia, and Eddie Howe, brought in by the new owners, began work on correcting the situation. As a result, last season the legendary team managed an incredible breakthrough, it not only avoided relegation to the Championship, but also finished at the top half of the final standings. And this autumn, the “black and white” finished 3rd, only Manchester City and Arsenal are higher. Not surprising: there was only 1 defeat with 8 wins in 15 matches. Of course, the fight for the Champions League should be a priority. But so far, there was enough courage for the Cup - Crystal Palace was eliminated, however, only on penalties.

Bournemouth are finally back in the Premier League. The "Cherries" were associated with Eddie Howe for a long time. The young manager brought an unknown project to the top division of England, and kept it there for quite a long time. But in the end, Eddie was fired, and the club went to the Championship. Only last season it turned out to return back, and directly. In the elite division, the newcomer is still playing in waves. After 3 defeats in a row, primarily due to 0-9 with Liverpool, the manager was fired. O'Neill was able to start with a long unbeaten streak and, most importantly, coped with a new recession in November, after beating Everton in the cup and in the championship after 4 defeats in a row. As a result, he was removed the prefix "acting", making him a full-fledged coach. But soon Demin sold the club to the American Foley, who is known as the owner of hockey’s franchise Las Vegas Golden Knights. How will this affect Bournemouth?
Newcastle are unbeaten for 6 head-to-head matches in a row. But back in the Premier League, Bournemouth have already gone 1-1 with this season's sensation. Newcastle are considered the undisputed favorite. But Bournemouth can impose a fight, so let's stop at the bet "total over 2.5 goals".
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 scored goals.
