A.F.C. Bournemouth vs Newcastle United Tickets

Dean Court (Vitality Stadium) has served as the home ground of AFC Bournemouth since 1910.

This is one of the smallest venues of the English top flight in recent years, with a capacity of 11,379. The diminutive nature of this stadium means that tickets for the bigger matches, such as the visit of the Magpies, will be more expensive than the average fixture at Dean Court.

AFC Bournemouth vs Newcastle United History

The first time these football clubs shared a pitch was in 1963. A third round tie in the League Cup, Bournemouth beat Newcastle United by two goals to one.

Almost a decade went by before the teams met again. This time a Third Round tie in the FA Cup, Newcastle ran out 2-0 winners at St. James’ Park.

In the 2015/16 Premier League season, Bournemouth and Newcastle faced one another in a top-flight fixture for the first time. The Tyneside club won this fixture, 1-0, as Ayoze Perez notched the decisive goal.

By the end of the 2022/23 season, Bournemouth had yet to lift a first major trophy. Meanwhile, Newcastle won the old First Division four times and lifted the FA Cup for a sixth time in 1955.

In recent years there have been a number of individuals who have represented both of the clubs involved in this fixture:

• In 2020, Newcastle acquired England striker Callum Wilson from Bournemouth, for a reported fee of £20m.

• Scotland winger Ryan Fraser moved in the same direction on a free transfer, four years after countryman Matt Ritchie had also joined the Magpies in a £12m deal from Bournemouth.

• Eddie Howe spent the bulk of his playing career at Bournemouth, amassing more than 250 appearances across two long-term stints with the Cherries. After hanging up his boots in 2007, he spent the best part of a decade as head coach of Bournemouth, across two separate spells. Howe was later appointed manager of Newcastle in November 2021 and guided them to UEFA Champions League qualification in his first full season in charge.

AFC Bournemouth vs Newcastle United Head-to-Head

In 2015, Bournemouth achieved promotion to the top division of English football for the first time in history. Thus, meetings with Newcastle had been relatively scarce until that point.

In 2017/18, these teams played out a 2-2 draw and then did so again the following season. Dwight Gayle scored twice for the Magpies in this fixture, before Joshua King did likewise for the Cherries a year later.

Another stalemate ensued in this fixture during the 2022/23 campaign, as Miguel Almiron cancelled out Marco Senesi’s opener for the hosts.
