Wolverhampton vs Newcastle Prediction

Wolverhampton Form

Wolverhampton collected one of each from their previous three matches, as they were defeated 2-6 against Chelsea. They retaliated in a 2-0 win against Burnley, before drawing 1-1 with Nottingham Forest. Wolverhampton only managed one meagre home win from a possible six at Molineux Stadium in the Premier League. They also drew zero and lost five of these six encounters, in which they scored six and conceded 15 goals.

While a title battle is perhaps a long shot, a top three finish does not look beyond Newcastle, should they catch some strong momentum in this early phase of the campaign.

Newcastle Form

Newcastle look solid currently after going three matches unbeaten, which started by drawing 1-1 against Bournemouth. They followed that up by sharing the spoils with Nottingham Forest in a 1-1 draw, before taking out Tottenham in a 2-1 win. Newcastle managed a decent return of three wins in their last six Premier League away matches, in which they scored 12 while also conceding nine times. They also experienced one draw and two defeats.

While a title race is perhaps a too optimistic a longthrow, a podium finish does not look beyong Newcastle, should they manage to catch a strong momentum.

Wolverhampton don't look like a team currently possessing a form that is capable of shutting out Newcastle, and the away win is our the bet on Sunday.
