Newcastle United at Wolverhampton Wanderers 8/28/22 - Premier League Picks & Predictions
Last Updated: 08/24/2022 at 6:01 PM ET
Wolverhampton (0-1-2) hosts Newcastle United (1-2-0) in its Week 4 Premier League fixture. The Wanderers are coming off a hard-fought 1-0 loss at Tottenham, while the Magpies arrive at Molineux Stadium after playing to a 3-3 draw with Manchester City in Newcastle.
Wolverhampton's lone goal of the 2022-23 season came in the 6th minute of a Week 1 loss at Leeds United. The Wanderers have surrendered just three goals, two to Leeds United. They played to a 0-0 draw with Fulham at home in Week 2.
Newcastle United holds a +2 goal differential, having scored five times so far. The Magpies played to a 0-0 draw in Week 2 at Brighton and Hove Albion. Newcastle claimed a 2-0 victory over Nottingham Forest to open the season.
In 14 Premier League Meetings, the Magpies hold a slight 3-9-2 edge over the Wanderers. Both won a match against the other at home last season, with Newcastle winning 1-0 in April after Wolves won 2-1 in October.
Wolverhampton has played much better than its 18th position in the Premier League table would indicate. Conversely, Newcastle United sits at No. 6 but has been badly outshot the last two weeks and nearly let Manchester City get the win in Week 3 despite leading 3-1 early in the second half. The Wanderers' effort against Tottenham has us thinking they could get the win at home if the Magpies fail to create more scoring chances. Final Score Prediction: Wolves 2-1.
