Prediction

  • Newcastle are now winless in their last five games in the league and have only won once in the Premier League in 2023. They do have one of the best home records in the league however, having only lost once this season at St James' Park, though that was their last game on home soil, when Liverpool won 2-0.
  • Wolves won their first league game in four with a 1-0 win over Tottenham last weekend. Away from home though, they have only won twice in the league all season, against Southampton and Everton, who are both currently in the relegation zone going into the weekend.
  • Both sides are struggling to score goals in recent weeks, so this game may end in a scoreless draw.

    Newcastle Club-record signing Alexander Isak, at £60m from Real Sociedad last August, is still short of peak fitness, while Callum Wilson has one goal since October.
