Wolves vs Newcastle predictions

Wolves come into this game in their best possible form they’ve had this season, with five points picked up in their last three games.

Prior to this they only managed two points in their first 18 games, going 19 games without a win until they faced West Ham.

Newcastle are up in sixth now though with three wins on the bounce and looking to make it four with potential of getting further embedded into the top six.

Key stats

Wolves have won just two of their 21 Premier League games against Newcastle.

Only facing Liverpool with 2/23 do they have a lower win-rate against sides they’ve faced ten or more times in this competition.

Newcastle have won six of their last eight Premier League games against Wolves and drew the other two and that includes each of the last four on the bounce.

Goals for both sides expected?

Both teams have scored in all ten Premier League meetings between Wolves and Newcastle at Molineux, the most played exact fixture never to see a team keep a clean sheet in the competition.

Newcastle have won their last three Premier League games, their longest winning run since a run of five in March/April last season.

A win for the Magpies would be the first time since 1996 that they’ve won their first three league games in a calendar year.

Interestingly Newcastle have conceded more goals in the second half than in the first by some distance.

With 19 of their 27 conceded goals coming after the break.

Wolves have scored the fewest goals after half time though with just five, but that is likely skewed as a stat due to how little they’ve scored overall.

Their recent form suggests there could be more to this and the fact they’ve scored in this fixture in the last ten meetings, and yet have still managed to lose six and draw twice.
