Wolves vs Newcastle Preview (What To Know Before Betting)

Wolves vs Newcastle

Newcastle United is eager to recover from their initial Champions League defeat of the new season as they head to Molineux to face Wolverhampton Wanderers in this Saturday’s Premier League fixture.

The Magpies suffered a 1-0 loss to Borussia Dortmund midweek, but they managed to secure a 2-1 victory against Bournemouth last weekend, a team where Gary O’Neil, the manager, previously plied his trade.

Following his role in steering Bournemouth to Premier League survival during the 2022-23 season, the decision to dismiss Gary O’Neil from the Vitality Stadium was met with criticism by many who deemed it unfair. The appointment of Andoni Iraola as his replacement is still awaiting validation as the Cherries’ fortunes continue to fluctuate.

Gary O’Neil added to the woes of a Bournemouth side still in search of their first win last weekend. After falling behind 1-0 due to a well-executed Dominic Solanke flick, Wolves managed to equalize early in the second half thanks to Matheus Cunha’s well-struck shot. The excitement in the away end reached its peak when Sasa Kalajdzic netted the 88th-minute winner.

What to remember – Wolves vs Newcastle

Newcastle’s ongoing Champions League commitments and their increasing list of injuries will likely impede their ability to mount an immediate response at Molineux. Wolves have demonstrated a propensity for finding the back of the net against various opponents.

Despite the depleted Newcastle attack, they may pose a challenge to the hosts’ vulnerable defense. Nevertheless, we can still envision a well-rested Wolves side holding on for a draw against their fatigued visitors.
