Newcastle vs Bournemouth Prediction FA Cup
Newcastle vs Bournemouth Prediction and Betting Tips for the FA Cup third round, scheduled for Saturday, January 10, 2026, at 15:00 GMT. The match will be broadcast live on ESPN and DAZN 2 as two Premier League rivals collide at the iconic St James’ Park. Newcastle come into this one full of adrenaline after a breathless 4-3 victory against Leeds United, where Harvey Barnes snatched a winner in the 102nd minute! It was pure chaos, but that is exactly how the Magpies have been playing lately, high risk and high reward. They are sitting pretty with a 12-match unbeaten run at home, but the FA Cup has historically been a bit of a nightmare for them, with only one trophy win way back in 1955. In this article, you’ll discover FA Cup Predictions from XpertStats tipsters.
- Newcastle United head into this tie on the back of three straight victories, including a wild 4-3 win over Leeds.
- The Magpies are currently unbeaten in their last 12 home matches across all competitions at St James’ Park.
- Bournemouth finally ended an 11-match winless streak by defeating Tottenham 3-2 in their last outing.
- The Cherries will be playing their first match without leading scorer Antoine Semenyo, who just joined Manchester City.
- Newcastle have failed to beat a Premier League side in the FA Cup third round since the 2011-12 season.
- Both teams have scored in three of the last four head-to-head meetings between these two clubs.
Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe faces a defensive crisis ahead of Saturday's FA Cup clash against Bournemouth. While Fabian Schar’s ankle ligament injury is less severe than initially feared, the Magpies remain stretched with Sven Botman and Dan Burn sidelined. Despite these setbacks, Howe remains focused on the "magical competition," aiming to field a strong side at St James' Park while navigating a congested winter fixture schedule.

The statistics for both Newcastle and Bournemouth heavily favor a "Both Teams to Score" outcome. Newcastle’s recent matches have been absolute goal-fests, highlighted by their recent 4-3 win over Leeds. While they are prolific at St James' Park, their defensive unit is currently decimated by injuries. With Fabian Schar joining Dan Burn and Jamaal Lascelles on the treatment table, Eddie Howe is forced to field a makeshift backline. This vulnerability is perfect for a Bournemouth side that, despite losing Antoine Semenyo, still plays an expansive brand of football under Andoni Iraola. Bournemouth themselves haven't kept a clean sheet in six matches, showing a consistent trend of conceding while managing to find the net. Historically, three of the last four head-to-head meetings between these sides have seen both teams score, making this a statistically sound choice for this FA Cup clash.
