Wolves v Newcastle

Wolves vs Newcastle Preview

Wolves finally got themselves off the mark in the Premier League just before the international break as the west midlands club gained a point by way of a 1-1 draw away from home at Nottingham Forest, while Newcastle United made it two wins in three games before the break with a 2-1 home win against Tottenham, lifting The Magpies up into fifth place in the table ahead of this weekend's top flight fixtures.

Aside from that point gained at the City Ground last time out, Wolves have pretty much picked up where they left off at the end of last season's Premier League campaign as the hosts have lost two of their opening three games with losses incurred at the hands of Arsenal and Chelsea, the latter being a particularly heavy 6-2 defeat on home soil at Molineux.

The bigger picture shows Wolves have now managed to register just the single win in their previous 13 games overall in the English top flight which came by way of a 2-1 home win against relegated Luton Town towards the end of last season.

However, Wolves have also slumped to nine defeats within these previous 13 matches overall in the Premier League which does not bode well for this upcoming visit from high-flying Newcastle United, despite holding home advantage.

Onto Newcastle United, and Eddie Howe's side still remain unbeaten after their opening three league matches which have resulted in The Magpies picking up seven points from these three games, thanks to wins against Southampton and Tottenham along with a 1-1 draw away from home at Bournemouth in between.

Despite losing to Crystal Palace and Manchester United towards the end of last season's campaign, the bigger picture shows Newcastle United have improved their consistency overall as the north-east club have suffered just these two defeats in their last 13 matches overall in the domestic top flight.

Eight wins within these last 13 games further underlines Newcastle United's threat not only at home but also on their travels as the visitors have collected wins on the road at Fulham, Burnley and Brentford within this period as well.

Previously, Newcastle United had gained back-to-back away wins at Aston Villa and Nottingham Forest, making it five wins from their last 10 matches on the road and this sort of form could well be enough for The Magpies to take the spoils in the west midlands on Sunday afternoon.

Wolves v Newcastle United Verdict

Newcastle United are unbeaten in their last five meetings against Wolves and having picked up three wins in this period as well, the visitors look the more likely to walk away from Molineux with all three points in the bag.
