Newcastle vs Wolves Prediction & Betting Tips - Premier League

Despite their struggles, Newcastle have been picked as favourites to win here by the bookies with a home win being priced at 1.69 while an away win is at 6. The odd for a draw is set at 4.1.

Newcastle are struggling coming into this round and are without a win in their last five outings. Eddie Howe’s men have lost three matches on the trot, all by similar 2-0 scorelines and have managed just two goals in their last five games. This has seen them fall out of the top four and out of the places for Europe completely and they will be keen to arrest this slump and avoid falling further down the standings. The Magpies’ strength has been their defence, which has conceded an amazing 17 goals all campaign but surprisingly, they have been unable to keep a shutout in their last six matches after managing 10 clean sheets in 11 matches prior to this slump. The sooner they return to their defensive solidity the better it will be for them.

Wolves are turning their season around and come to this match after managing an impressive and important 1-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur at home last time out. The win helped Julien Lopetegui’s men move five points clear of the relegation zone, a place they have been struggling to get out of for the majority of the season and they will be keen to ensure they claw further away after this round. Wolves have secured four of their seven wins for the season in the league in 2023 and two of those wins have surprisingly come against teams in the top four picture (Liverpool and Spurs) and this should give them belief going into this match. They have however not been consistent though and have only gone two matches without defeat twice this year.
