Wolves vs Newcastle United

Wolves are looking to maintain their recent resurgence when they host Newcastle United in an English Premier League fixture on Sunday.

The hosts appear to be building some momentum lately and have been particularly solid at home. They can do enough to avoid defeat against the Magpies, who have been unconvincing on their travels.

Wolves News

Wolves finally appear to be finding some rhythm in the second half of the season, having gone unbeaten in their last four matches across all competitions. They remain bottom of the table, 14 points from safety, but will be keen to continue giving their fans something to cheer about.

Rob Edwards’ team held out for a 1-1 draw at Everton last time out in the Premier League and followed it up with a 6-1 FA Cup victory over Shrewsbury Town. That was their second straight win at Molineux, having eased to a 3-0 league triumph over West Ham in their previous home fixture.

Defending remains a problem for Wolves, who are without a clean sheet in nine of their last 10 matches across all competitions. However, they have found some rhythm in attack, scoring in seven of the last eight, while five of those fixtures have produced over 2.5 goals.

Newcastle United News

Newcastle United are just outside the European places in the table and will be keen to maintain the pressure on the teams above them. They claimed a 4-3 home victory over Leeds United, but come into this clash off the back of a 2-0 home defeat to Manchester City in the EFL Cup semi-final first leg.

For all of Newcastle United’s fine showings this season, their form on the road has been disappointing. Eddie Howe's team are winless in seven of their last nine away matches across all competitions, losing six times on this run.

Newcastle often struggle defensively on their travels and are without a clean sheet in nine of their last 10 away matches. However, they have scored in eight of those matches, with all eight fixtures producing over 2.5 goals.

Head to Head

Newcastle United have 10 wins while Wolves have picked up four victories, with 11 draws in the last 25 matches. The visitors claimed a 1-0 home victory in the reverse fixture back in September.

Verdict

Wolverhampton v Newcastle

Both teams have been unconvincing defensively lately and could be backed to score here. With eight of Newcastle United’s last 10 away matches producing over 2.5 goals, a similar outcome could be on the cards.

Wolves are showing some fight lately and are unbeaten in their last four matches. They should do enough to earn a win or draw against Newcastle, who have lost six of their last nine away fixtures.
