Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Newcastle United Preview – Prediction, how to watch & line-ups | OneFootball

Molineux Stadium is the venue as Wolverhampton Wanderers and Newcastle United go head-to-head in an exciting Premier League fixture.

It’s been a dismal start to the season for Wolves, as their last season’s scoring woes continue to haunt Bruno Lage’s side.

Going into this encounter, they are one of just five sides yet to win in the Premier League this term, drawing once while losing twice in their opening three league outings.

But that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Lage’s men have only netted one goal thus far this season, with only West Ham United lamenting a worse scoring record.

In stark contrast to Wolves’ horrendous start to the season, the Magpies have built a strong case for themselves in the top-half race.

After a day-one 2-0 home victory over promoted Nottingham Forest, Eddie Howe’s lads have drawn two league outings in a row, including a mesmerising 3-3 stalemate with Manchester City last week.

One of the most heartbreaking pieces of the Newcastle United news saw the Tyneside outfit drop a 3-1 lead against the reigning champions in a thrilling contest at St James’ Park.

However, Newcastle are in far better shape than Wolves ahead of the kick-off, which promises a long Sunday afternoon for the underperforming hosts.

Match Preview

Wolverhampton Wanderers

Wolves can draw confidence from going unbeaten in their last four Premier League home clashes against the Magpies (W1, D3) despite conceding precisely once on each occasion.

But Lage’s men will take the field winless in ten top-flight matches on the trot (D3, L7), their worst league streak without winning since the 2013 EFL Championship season.

They are now staring down the barrel of a four-game winless start to a new league campaign for only the second time in 18 seasons, last experiencing a similar feat in 2019/20.

Newcastle United

Unlike their hosts, Newcastle could begin a new top-flight season on a run of four unbeaten games for the first time since 2011/12 when they incidentally finished fifth.

Regardless of the outcome, the Magpies must be confident about putting the ball past Jose Sa after finding the net in all 14 previous Premier League meetings with Wolves.

As witnessed in the opening few Newcastle United fixtures, Callum Wilson is enjoying his football again, having scored twice in his three top-flight appearances this season.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Newcastle United Potential Line-ups

Wolverhampton Wanderers (4-3-3): Jose Sa; Jonny, Nathan Collins, Max Kilman, Rayan Ait-Nouri; Matheus Nunes, Ruben Neves, Joao Moutinho; Pedro Neto, Raul Jimenez, Goncalo Guedes.

Newcastle United (4-3-3): Nick Pope; Kieran Trippier, Fabian Schar, Sven Botman, Dan Burn; Joe Willock, Bruno Guimaraes, Joelinton; Miguel Almiron, Chris Wood, Allan Saint-Maximin.

How to Watch?

Wolves vs Newcastle, coupled with all other Premier League matches, is available to watch online via Premier League live streams.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Newcastle United Prediction

As mentioned above, the principal problem for Lage in the opening Wolves fixtures has been an uneventful attack.

Newcastle could face similar issues as Wilson won’t be part of the matchday squad due to a thigh injury.

We expect a hard-fought midfield battle with very few scoring opportunities in what will likely be a low-scoring draw.
