Wolverhampton Wanderers have shown signs of improvement in recent league fixtures, as Rob Edwards has guided his side to three games without a defeat, which includes a 3-0 win against West Ham United. However, the main concern for the home side has been their defensive issues, which have consistently plagued the side at the bottom of the Premier League this season. The home side has conceded first in eight of their previous 10 matches, which doesn't bode well, given that Wolves have failed to keep a clean sheet in 13 matches against Newcastle United.
Newcastle United will be looking to get back to winning ways after their first-leg defeat against Manchester City in the Carabao Cup midweek. The Magpies were on a four-game winning run heading into the game against Manchester City and will now look to respond at the weekend. In the Premier League, Eddie Howe's side has won their previous three league games to move them into European contention, scoring at least two goals in each of those wins. The Magpies have a great record in this fixture, with four straight wins against Wolves and no losses in eight matches.
Newcastle United will be expected to make a response following their midweek efforts, and with Wolves still conceding goals despite their improvements, we can see a 3-1 win for the away side, given how over 2.5 goals have been scored in five of the last six meetings between the two sides.
Wolves 1-3 Newcastle
