Match Prediction: Newcastle United 2-0 Wolverhampton Wanderers

Newcastle United, coming off a series of draws and a narrow loss, will look to capitalise on their solid defensive performances. Their recent games against Leeds and Aston Villa ended goalless, suggesting a strong backline that could frustrate Wolves' attack. Wolves, on the other hand, have struggled to find the net, losing their last three PL matches, including a heavy defeat to Manchester City. This mismatch in form could see Newcastle controlling the game's tempo and exploiting Wolves' defensive vulnerabilities.

Despite Wolves' recent struggles, they have shown resilience in some matches, particularly against Everton where they scored twice but still lost. Newcastle's inability to convert chances into goals, as seen in their recent draws, might give Wolves hope of a counter-attack. However, Newcastle's home advantage and better overall form should see them edge out a victory, though it might be a closely contested affair.

Newcastle's recent form has been characterised by solid defensive displays but a lack of cutting edge in attack. Their goalless draws against Leeds and Aston Villa highlight a team that can keep clean sheets but struggles to break down stubborn defences.

This could impact their performance against Wolves, as they will need to find a way to be more clinical in front of goal. The potential absence of Joelinton due to a groin injury might also affect their overall stability, although past results suggest they have managed well without him before.

Wolves have been on a downward spiral, losing their last three matches, including a heavy defeat to Manchester City. Their inability to score consistently, as seen in their losses to Everton and Bournemouth, is a major concern heading into this match. This poor run of form could make it difficult for them to challenge Newcastle, especially away from home. The potential absence of striker Jorgen Strand Larsen might impact their confidence, too.

Recent Premier League Results:

• Loss: 2-3 vs Everton (H)

• Loss: 0-1 vs AFC Bournemouth (A)

• Loss: 0-4 vs Manchester City (H)

Newcastle United have had the upper hand in recent encounters with Wolverhampton Wanderers, winning four of their last five meetings and drawing one. Their most recent victory was a convincing 3-0 win at home, suggesting they have a psychological edge going into this match.

• Pope, Trippier, Botman, Burn, Schär, Livramento, Tonali, Guimarães, Barnes, Elanga, Wissa

Newcastle's predicted lineup suggests a focus on maintaining a strong defensive structure while relying on the creativity of players like Bruno Guimarães and Anthony Elanga to unlock Wolves' defence. Sven Botman and Fabian Schär will need to step up and lead the backline effectively.

• Sá, S Bueno, Agbadou, T Gomes, Tchatchoua, André, J Gomes, H Bueno, Arias, Hwang, Munetsi

Wolves' predicted lineup indicates a continuation of their 3-4-3 formation, aiming to balance defensive solidity with attacking threat. The presence of Hee-chan Hwang and Jhon Arias in the lineup suggests they will look to exploit any gaps in Newcastle's defence with quick counter-attacks.

• Kieran Trippier vs Hee-chan Hwang: Trippier's defensive nous will be crucial in containing Hwang's pace and finishing ability.

• Bruno Guimarães vs João Gomes: Guimarães' creativity will be tested by Gomes' tenacity in midfield.

• Sandro Tonali (Newcastle United): Tonali’s ability to create chances could be the key to unlocking Wolves' defence.

• José Sá (Wolverhampton Wanderers): Sá's performance in goal will be vital if Wolves are to have any chance of keeping Newcastle at bay.
