Wolves to win

After an unbeaten start to the year, Newcastle have come crashing down to Earth with three successive defeats, the most severe of which came in Sunday’s 5-1 crushing by Tottenham.

Wolves boast one of the division’s best away records and have won three of their last four matches. With Europe still in their sights, Wanderers will be expectant of coming away with all three points.

Draw at Half-Time

Sixteen of Newcastle’s 30 Premier League matches so far have been draws at half-time including their last four matches. Wolves have gone into the break level in 17 of their 31 matches played.

Half-Time/Full-Time – Draw/Wolves

Expanding on the half-time draw, if you fancy Wolves to go on to win in the second half, Newcastle’s last three matches have all been lost after the break. The Geordies, based on second halves only are 19th in the league ahead of only Norwich City.

Preliminary review and match prediction for Newcastle United vs Wolverhampton Wanderers

After a fantastic start to 2022 and going unbeaten until March, Newcastle have been on the receiving end of three defeats in a row including a battering at the hands of Spurs on Sunday.

While the Toon Army’s resurrection has been impressive it is worth noting that during that unbeaten run, Newcastle faced only one side currently in the top half of the table, that being sixth placed West Ham United.

Since then, they have suffered defeats to Chelsea and Spurs and in between those Newcastle were unlucky to lose against ten-man Everton.

This is probably indicative of where Newcastle realistically is right now, capable of beating anybody in the bottom half of the table but beating teams in the top echelon right now is beyond them.

Still though from where they were a few months ago, the turnaround has been remarkable.

Wolves rebounded from a 3-2 home defeat to Leeds United by dispatching Aston Villa 2-1 at home on Saturday, thanks to a goal from Jonny and an own goal from Villa’s Ashley Young.

Wanderers are back on their travels as they kick off this round of Premier League action on Friday looking to put pressure on their rivals for European contention.

A win here would put Wolves into sixth before the rest of the league plays over the weekend. Wolves also have a favourable schedule for the rest of April and will want to take full advantage starting with a win here.

Get Rich Quick

Newcastle have scored first in ten out of their 14 home matches. However, they have only gone on to win three of these. Wolves are priced at 5.8 to come from behind and win or draw if you fancy Newcastle to get off to a good start first as happened against Spurs on Sunday.

Highlighted Player – Alain Saint-Maximin

Newcastle’s talismanic winger has been subjected to criticism lately during the Magpies’ bad patch, but he can turn a game at the blink of an eye and has the ability to worry even the stoutest of defences.
