**Bournemouth's Set-Piece Weakness Could Be Fatal**

Watch how Newcastle's Schar and Burn attack corners—Bournemouth's conceded 14 goals from set pieces this season, third-worst in the league.

The Magpies have won three of their last five, including that 4-1 demolition of Ipswich. Bournemouth? They've lost four straight at home. Andoni Iraola's side can't defend transitions, and Newcastle's counter-attacking pace with Gordon and Isak will punish them repeatedly.

Here's the thing: Bournemouth's 10 wins flatter them. Seven came against bottom-half teams. Newcastle's inconsistency is real, but they show up against vulnerable defenses.

**Prediction: Newcastle 3-1 Bournemouth.** Isak bags a brace, and the Cherries' home form stays miserable.
