• Fulham vs Brighton & Hove Albion Prediction: Premier League Match on 02.03.2024

Premier League Preview

It hasn’t been the season that Newcastle would have been hoping for this term, as the Magpies are in a race against time to establish a European challenge. They come into this round of matches sitting tenth in the standings after losing against the Gunners last weekend. That was the third time in the last five that they had failed to land maximum points. 

Newcastle’s home form has been a concern throughout the season this term, as they have won just eight of their 13 matches at St. James’ Park. The Magpies have been far easier to breakdown throughout the campaign, as they have allowed a staggering 45 goals in the top-flight this term. That is an extremely poor return after enjoying one of the league’s best defensive records in 2022-23.

This could be a good opportunity for Wolves to put some breathing space between themselves and their rivals, as they come into the round in fine recent form. Wolves have won three of their last four matches in the competition, and only the top six teams in the division have recorded more victories in the Premier League this term. 

The Midlands side battled to a 1-0 home win against Sheffield United in their previous fixture, but they could be better positioned against an opponent of Newcastle’s stature. Wolves have been in fine form on the road in recent weeks after avoiding defeat in each of their last four, with their most recent away match ending in a win against Tottenham. 

Newcastle vs Wolves Head to Head

Wolves are winless in their last four matches against the Magpies in the Premier League, with Newcastle landing two victories over that period. Wolves recorded their latest win over Newcastle in 2021, but they are without a win in their last four visits to St. James’ Park. 

Newcastle vs Wolves Prediction

Wolves have been a very challenging team to beat throughout this season, and this fixture could be set up perfectly for them to claim maximum points. Therefore, we will be siding with the away team landing victory to move up to seventh in the standings.
