Newcastle vs Wolves: Match Preview and Prediction
Newcastle vs Wolves: Out of the previous nine Premier League games, Newcastle have only won two. Across six different competitions, the Wolves have not lost on the road. All eight of the previous league games saw the Magpies concede two goals or more, with the exception of one.
With three victories in their past four games, Wolves overtook Newcastle in ninth place in the Premier League rankings. When Gary O’Neil’s team plays Newcastle on Saturday afternoon at St. James’s Park, they’ll be looking to maintain their lead over the Magpies following their trip north.
Even though Wolves did not perform well on Monday night, they managed to win the home game against Sheffield United, who are currently in the bottom spot. O’Neil’s forces did not exhibit the most stunning attacking performance. Pablo Sarabia’s goal in the first half separated the two teams.
Newcastle lost again in the Premier League last weekend. Seven days prior, they lost 1-4 at Arsenal away. On Tuesday night, Eddie Howe’s club beat lower-division Blackburn Rovers on penalties in the FA Cup fifth round. 120 minutes at Ewood Park ended in a 1-1 draw, with Anthony Gordon scoring the only goal.

Newcastle has struggled recently. They had won two of nine league games. Newcastle have conceded two goals in seven of their past eight Premier League games. We like the 1.83 odds on the visitors to win at St. James’ Park against an in-form Wolves team.
