Newcastle vs Wolves Premier League Prediction Match Details
The Premier League action continues on Wednesday night as Newcastle United will welcome Wolverhampton Wanderers to St. James Park for round 21 games. Can the underdog Wolves upset the home team?
Newcastle Preview & Form
Newcastle are currently on a terrifying run of form as they make a return to league action on the back of an impressive eight-match winning streak across all competitions. The last time out in the league, Newcastle beat Tottenham 2-1 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, with the result extending their winning streak in the league to five matches in a row. Eddie Howe’s men then followed up the league victory with a 2-0 first-leg advantage in the Carabao Cup, and last weekend, they defeated League Two side Bromley 3-1 at St. James Park in the FA Cup third round. Currently, they sit fifth in the league standings with 35 points from 20 games, a point behind the top four and five points behind second-place Arsenal and Nottingham Forest.
At St James Park, the Magpies have also won each of their last two league matches and have remained unbeaten in the last five matches across all competitions. Their last home league outing saw them beat Aston Villa 3-0 on matchday 18. It is worth noting that Eddie Howe’s men have only tasted two defeats on their home soil this season across all competitions.
Wolves Preview & Form
Wolverhampton’s form since the appointment of their new head coach, Vitor Pereira, has improved as the team are currently playing with huge confidence while also getting the right run of results in the battle to move out of the relegation zone, but in their last league game they suffered a huge setback. Vitor Pereira tasted his first Premier League defeat in their last league outing since his appointment as they were beaten 3-0 by Nottingham Forest on their home soil. However, a 2-1 victory over Championship side Bristol City at the FA Cup ties over the weekend will provide them some confidence in their return to the league to avoid back-to-back defeat. Currently, they sit 17th in the league standings with 16 points, just a place above the relegation zone.
Since the appointment of the Portuguese coach Vitor Pereira, the team has yet to taste defeat in their road games across all competitions, winning two and playing a draw. Their last road game saw Wolverhampton hold Tottenham to a 2-2 draw.
