The Toon Army will take a trip to the Black Country on Sunday afternoon, when Wolverhampton Wanderers will be playing host to Newcastle United in the Premier League. Wolves are bottom of the league standings after 21 games, while the Magpies are in sixth place. Check out our match prediction below!
There are signs of life at Molineux! Indeed, the Old Gold are still clear favourites to be relegated this season, but they enter this fixture unbeaten in their last three league matches (W1 D2), accumulating more points in this period than they managed in their first 18 games this season combined.
However, maintaining that unbeaten record will not be an easy task, as arriving in the West Midlands this weekend is a Newcastle side that moved into the top six in the league standings on MD21 and now trail fourth-placed Liverpool by just three points. It’s a clash between two teams with momentum - let’s get into the key stats!

Wolves - Newcastle: Form Analysis
After leaving empty-handed against Liverpool and Arsenal despite good performances, league results have been improving for Wolves lately, with the most recent being a 1-1 draw away to Everton.
The Old Gold then smashed six goals past Shrewsbury in the FA Cup last weekend and have now scored 10 goals in their last three matches - one more than in their preceding 12 games combined.
The hosts have also won their last two home games across all competitions and are now looking to win three in a row at Molineux for the first time since April last year.
Both teams scored in each of the last seven league games between these sides at this venue!
Meanwhile, Newcastle United secured a 4-3 victory over Leeds in a thrilling MD21 contest, which was their third league win in succession and took them above Man United into sixth place.
The Magpies then saw off Bournemouth on penalties in the FA Cup, but their momentum was halted in midweek when they lost to Manchester City 2-0 in the first leg of the EFL Cup semi-finals.
The visitors have not impressed on the road this season, earning only nine points from 10 away games. They have not kept a clean sheet on their Premier League travels since September 9 at the Vitality.

Wolves & Newcastle Squad Analysis
The driving force behind Wolves’ recent upturn has been teenage wonderkid Mateus Mane, who recorded three goal involvements in four league starts before a stunning cameo against Shrewsbury.
Jorgen Strand Larsen set up Mane for the equaliser against the Toffees on MD21, and he scored a hat-trick in the FA Cup three days later, which could earn him a recall to the starting lineup for this match.
The hosts have three players on their injury report for this match, including Toti Gomes, Marshall Munetsi and Jean-Ricner Bellegarde, though the latter is believed to be close to returning to action.
Bruno Guimaraes has recorded four goal contributions in his last three league games!
The Brazilian has been central to everything positive the Magpies have done in recent weeks. He has now scored eight goals and provided four assists in 20 Premier League appearances this term.
Harvey Barnes was the hero against Leeds on MD21 and followed up with another match-winning performance against Bournemouth in the FA Cup last week. He now has the highest xG per 90 (0.42) of any midfielder in the Prem this season.
However, Eddie Howe does have issues in defence, with Tino Livramento, Fabian Schar, Jamaal Lascelles, Emil Krafth and Dan Burn all sidelined through injury. Jacob Murphy and Will Osula are also ruled out for the foreseeable future.

Our Wolves vs Newcastle Prediction
While it is still far too soon to suggest that Wolves will avoid the drop this season, the signs have certainly been positive in recent weeks, and they will enter this match with bags of confidence after a clinical display in the FA Cup last weekend.
Newcastle are also on an upward trajectory in the league, currently riding a three-game win streak while scoring nine goals during that period. We’re expecting plenty of chances as well as a few goals in this one. Our Wolves vs Newcastle prediction is BTTS.
