Our predictions for Newcastle United vs Wolverhampton Wanderers
Match Prediction: Newcastle United 2-0 Wolverhampton Wanderers
Newcastle's recent form has been a bit of a rollercoaster, but they've shown they can hold their own against tough opponents. With two draws and a narrow loss, they'll be looking to turn those performances into a win. Wolves, on the other hand, have been struggling, losing their last three league matches. They'll need to tighten up at the back if they want to get anything from this game, but Newcastle's attack might just be too much for them.
Form Guide & Team Overview
Newcastle United
Newcastle have been solid defensively in their recent outings, managing two clean sheets in their last three games. However, their attack has been lacking, failing to score in their last two away matches. If they can find their shooting boots, they should have enough to beat a struggling Wolves side. The return of key players could be the boost they need to secure a much-needed win.

Wolverhampton Wanderers
Wolves are in a bit of a rut, losing their first three Premier League games and conceding eight goals in the process. Their defence has been all over the place, and they'll need to sort it out quickly if they want to avoid another defeat. The attack hasn't been much better, with only two goals in their last three games. It's going to be a tough ask for them to get anything from this match against a Newcastle side that's been hard to break down.

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

Bruno Guimarães vs João Gomes: Guimarães' creativity will be key for Newcastle, while Gomes will need to disrupt the midfield.
Anthony Elanga (Newcastle United): His pace and directness could be a real threat to Wolves' defence.
