Newcastle United v Wolves betting tips: Will Newcastle tame Wolves?

Preview and odds for Premier League clash

Sunday’s sole Premier League tie comes from St. James’ Park as Newcastle United host Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Both clubs should arrive in buoyant mood after their recent results. Newcastle have only lost one of their last six games.

Wolves stunned Chelsea at Molineux to halt a winless run that stretched back to October.

Can the visitors make it two wins in two games or will the wily Rafael Benitez stop them in their tracks?

Head-to-Head

The Toon have held the edge with four wins in the previous six meetings in all competitions.

The last time these two sides came toe-to-toe was in the 2016-17 Championship season.

Wolves bagged a 2-0 win on Tyneside in 2016. A Chancel Mbemba own goal was added upon by Helder Costa.

Newcastle the home game by a single goal thanks to an Aleksandar Mitrovic strike.

Likely XIs

Matt Ritchie is back for the Magpies after serving a one-match ban. The Scottish international could return on the left wing.

However defenders Paul Dummett (doubtful) and Florian Lejeune should be out.

Salomon Rondon has led the line impressively of late and could be flanked by Josh Murphy and Christian Atsu.

Benitez is sweating on the fitness of key man Kenedy who missed the midweek draw with Everton.
