Newcastle are in real trouble right now with their best forward sidelined due to injury. They are coming off another loss but they will now return home after two consecutive matches on the road. They will host Wolves on Saturday, who have picked up the pace lately and are coming off back to back wins.

Newcastle (7-14-4) actually looked Manchester United in the eye last week, but conceded two second-half goals to eventually lose by 1-3. They have only won 2 of their last 16 matches in all competitions (2-11-5), conceding multiple goals in 6 of their last 7. Newcastle are now sitting at the 17th spot of the league table with 25 points, just three points above the relegation zone. They have not been anything special at home (4-6-2), scoring 15 and conceding 21 goals in the process.

Wolves (9-10-6) played a really balanced match at home against Leeds and won by a slim 0-1, after an own goal by the opposing goal-keeper.  Even so, they have now won two in a row and have lost just one of their last 6 EPL matches (3-1-2). Wolves are sitting at the 12th spot of the league table with 33 points, scoring 26 and conceding 32 goals in the process. They have a 4-6-2 record on the road, scoring 11 and conceding 18 goals, and losing just one of their last five away matches in all competitions (2-1-2).

The two teams split the points in a 1-1 draw in the reverse fixture, which was actually the 4th consecutive 1-1 draw between the two. Both teams are missing their best forward, and this match looks like it is going to be an Under unless they somehow find goals from other players.
