Wolves-Newcastle

Newcastle United heads to Molineux Stadium to take on Wolves in what promises to be an intriguing encounter. Historically, Newcastle has had the upper hand in this fixture, winning three of the last five matches, including a dominant 3-0 victory in the reverse fixture earlier this season. Wolves, however, have shown resilience, securing a 2-2 draw in one of their recent clashes.

Recent form also favors Newcastle. They come into this game with a solid track record, having won four of their last five matches, with only one draw against Bournemouth. Their last game saw them edge past Tottenham with a 2-1 victory, showcasing their ability to perform against competitive sides.

On the other hand, Wolves have had a mixed bag of results. They are coming off a draw against Nottingham Forest and a win over Burnley but recently suffered a heavy 6-2 defeat to Chelsea. Their defense has been shaky, which will be a point of concern as they face a robust Newcastle attack.

Both teams have shown a propensity for goals in their recent fixtures, suggesting that both teams are likely to find the net in this match. In terms of total goals, the game is expected to be lively, potentially surpassing the 2.5 goals mark given their recent scoring trends.
