Both Teams To Score

Reason for tip

Newcastle have seen both teams score in each of their last six, while they meet a Wolves side who have both scored and conceded 40 goals after 26 league games this term. The visitors have managed two away clean sheets in the league this term, while they’ve scored in 22 of their 26 matches.

Draw 2-2

Reason for tip

The Magpies could see a third-consecutive high-scoring draw at home after sharing the spoils with Bournemouth and Luton. The hosts drew 1-1 at Blackburn in midweek in a game which saw plenty of chances, while their last eight in the league have featured at least four goals.

Anthony Gordon To Score Anytime

Reason for tip

Gordon has scored seven of his eight Premier League goals at home in just 13 appearances, while his midweek strike against Blackburn means he’s scored in two of Newcastle’s last three matches.

Newcastle vs Wolverhampton Predictions

  • Newcastle have seen both teams score in each of their last six
  • The hosts have conceded twice or more in their last four at home
  • Wolves have scored in 22 of their 26 games this term
  • The visitors see over three goals per game on average

Another blow for troubled Toon?

Even in a week which saw them make the last eight of the FA Cup, Newcastle continue to underwhelm. They needed penalties to see off Blackburn Rovers on Tuesday night, meaning they’ve now won once across their last five games. Having been paired with Manchester City in the last eight, their prospects of silverware look slim.

Newcastle slid to 10th in the Premier League last weekend when they were hammered by Arsenal, with this weekend’s opponents Wolves leapfrogging them. Gary O’Neil’s side are enjoying a fantastic season, lining up a quarter-final clash with Coventry giving them a real shot at making it to Wembley.

The visitors head to St James’ Park having won four of their last five, so will their momentum cause more trouble for the Toon?

Form and fitness holding back hosts

Newcastle look like a side who have played too much football, having added Champions League games alongside two cup runs to their league commitments. Injuries have also hurt the Magpies, while they continue to have key players ruled out. They could be without as many as six players for this clash. Forward Callum Wilson is a big loss, especially with Alexander Isak struggling for form.

Eddie Howe has little room for rotation, which explains a terrible run for them defensively. They’ve conceded twice in seven of their last eight league games, while both teams have scored in their last six outings in all competitions. For a side built on a great defence last season, that slide has left them struggling in this campaign.

Back more goals on Tyneside

Newcastle’s last eight league games have finished with at least four goals scored, while they’ve shipped at least two goals in each of their last four at home. That run has brought a 2-2 draw with Bournemouth and a 4-4 draw with Luton in their last two at St James’ Park, so Howe’s side should see an open clash against a refreshingly attacking Wolves side.

The visitors were given little hope of staying up and they earned a reputation for being too conservative over the last couple of seasons. However, Gary O’Neil has made Wolves much better to watch, which has seen 80 goals scored across their 26 matches this term. The visitors have scored in 22 of those matches, while they’ve managed just two away clean sheets.

Goals look good given the form of both sides, while Newcastle can rely on Anthony Gordon going forward after his great campaign. The winger is becoming a reliable goal-threat, with strikes in two of his last three appearances. He has eight Premier League goals for the campaign, with seven coming in his 13 home appearances. Back him to strike in what should be an open game.
