Wolves vs Newcastle: Premier League Clash on Sunday

3

Wolves and Newcastle will face each other in the last game of Matchday No 4 in the English Premier League on Sunday afternoon. This match promises to be an exciting encounter as both teams have different aspirations for the season.

 

Newcastle’s Strong Start

Newcastle finds themselves in a significantly stronger position heading into the match. They have collected seven out of nine possible points from their opening three outings. The Magpies finally produced a decent showing two weeks ago, beating Tottenham Hotspur 2-1 in front of their home fans. This victory has boosted their confidence significantly.

Alexander Isak finally bagged his maiden goal of the season in that match. The Swedish forward’s performance has been a highlight for Newcastle, and he will be crucial in their quest for victory at Molineux. Eddie Howe’s troops fancy their chances of extending their positive streak against Wolves.

Wolves Struggling for Form

On the other hand, Wolves are yet to claim their first win of the campaign. They only secured their first point two weeks ago by drawing 1-1 with Nottingham Forest at The City Ground. This lack of victories has put pressure on head coach Gary O’Neil.

Wolves have big problems with the lack of meticulousness in their back line. They allowed six goals in a catastrophic home defeat to Chelsea in Gameweek No 2. Additionally, they conceded plenty of chances against Nottingham Forest last time out. This defensive frailty could be a significant factor in the upcoming match against Newcastle.

Wolves vs Newcastle Head-to-Head

Historically, Newcastle has had the upper hand in their recent encounters with Wolves. The Magpies won three and drew two of the previous five head-to-head matches against Wolverhampton. This trend adds to the pressure on Wolves as they prepare to face a confident Newcastle side.

Key Players to Watch

Alexander Isak has rediscovered his scoring touch following a strong performance in the latter half of last season’s Premier League campaign. His decisive goal in the home win over Spurs in the previous round marked his first goal of the 2024/25 season. Isak’s form will be vital for Newcastle as they look to exploit Wolves’ defensive weaknesses.

For Wolves, the focus will be on tightening their defense. If they can shore up their back line, they may stand a chance against a potent Newcastle attack. However, if they continue to concede goals at the current rate, it could be a long afternoon for them.

Wolves vs Newcastle Prediction

Wolves have defensive issues at the beginning of the season, while Newcastle go into this match on the back of two wins and a draw in their opening three games. Given the current form of both teams, we predict that Newcastle will emerge victorious.

We are confident in choosing Newcastle to win as our top selection at odds of 2.10. Additionally, you can get Isak to score anytime against the leaky Wolves’ defense at the 2.37 odds. This match could be a turning point for both teams, with Newcastle looking to solidify their position in the league and Wolves desperate for their first win.
