While Bournemouth currently sit 14th in the Premier League right now, their away form this season has been dreadful.
And with a Carabao Cup trip to St James' Park coming up tonight, Newcastle United will hope that trend continues as they look to book their place in the quarterfinals of the competition.
The Cherries have conceded a whopping 24 goals in seven games away from home this term.

Of those seven games, they have lost four, drawn two and won just one, with their sole away victory coming against Nottingham Forest in a 3-2 win.
Gary O'Neil's side have already faced off against Newcastle once this season, playing out a 1-1 draw with the Magpies. Philip Billing's second-half strike put Bournemouth 1-0 up before Alexander Isak equalised from the spot shortly after.
Should the two sides play out another draw at St James' tonight, then the game will go to penalties. Both Newcastle and Bournemouth have won shoot-outs this season, with the former earning their spot in the Round of 16 with a win over Crystal Palace, while latter beat Norwich on penalties back in the second round of the competition.
While it seems unlikely Newcastle will go into the game complacent, there's no doubt Bournemouth's dreadful away record will hand Eddie Howe's side a boost.
The Carabao Cup represents a real shot at silverware for the Magpies this term who will be hoping to book their spot in the next round on Tuesday in their first competitive post-World Cup fixture.
