Wolves – Newcastle: two emergencies, two opposite trajectories 
Sunday afternoon at Molineux, two teams heading in different directions. Wolves are fighting for survival. Newcastle need to prove their wake-up wasn’t a fluke after a mixed week.
Wolves: slight uptick, but the situation is still dire 
Wolves have shown scraps of fight in recent weeks, but it’s more gasp than turnaround.
With just seven points from 21 games, the bottom spot looks headed for the Championship. The only bright moment was that 3-0 win over West Ham in early January — their sole league victory this season. Elsewhere, the same flaws keep popping up: no impact, no cutting edge, no confidence. The record versus Newcastle doesn’t help: four straight losses, 9-1 on aggregate. The trip to St James’ Park in September was a 1-0 defeat, with Wolves barely in the game. Squad news: Bellegarde and Toti are still out. Emmanuel Agbadou is back from AFCON and should rejoin the group. Rodrigo Gomes, finally over a long injury, should keep building. Matheus Mané, 18, remains one of the rare positives right now.
Newcastle: a wake-up that needs confirming 
Newcastle come out of a mixed week: beaten 2-0 by Manchester City in the first leg of the League Cup semi, but still climbing the Premier League table. Their last league game was a mini‑thriller — a 4-3 win snatched in stoppage time against Leeds. That extended a useful run: three straight wins, nine scored, four conceded. The Magpies are back in the European picture, but one issue lingers: only one clean sheet since late October across all competitions. The defence is still too fragile, and that’s Eddie Howe’s main job. Injuries: Jacob Murphy is out with a hamstring problem. Fabian Schär will miss it too. Kieran Trippier could return to Premier League action for the first time since November.
Lewis Miley, who’s been in the spotlight recently, could again start on the right.
Key takeaways
- Newcastle have won the last four meetings with Wolves.
- Wolves have won only one Premier League match this season.
- Newcastle are on three straight league wins.
- The Magpies have kept just one clean sheet since October.
- Wolves are bottom with just seven points.
Football Prediction Wolves vs Newcastle
Newcastle to win
Wolves show a bit more fight, but they’re too limited to compete for the full 90 minutes.
Newcastle, despite their defensive issues, have far more attacking quality and much stronger momentum.
The Magpies should leave the Midlands with all three points.
First up, a word on our predictions
- What we publish on Mathodds is analysis, nothing more. We share an opinion, a snapshot read, never a guarantee. Sport is what it is: unpredictable. A red card, an injury, a freak goal… and the script flips.
- Let’s be clear: there’s no such thing as a risk-free bet. Even when it looks “obvious”, it rarely is. Yes, that means you can lose. It’s inevitable sooner or later.
- Best advice: be sensible. Bet small, set a budget and stick to it. Don’t touch the money you need to live. And above all: don’t chase losses, it rarely ends well.
- Betting should stay a hobby, not a job or a source of income. If it starts taking over, annoys you or stresses you out, take a break. If needed, speak to a specialist organisation. That’s what they’re for.
- In the end, the responsibility is yours. Reading our content means accepting that risk exists and won’t disappear, even with the best analysis.
- Essential reminder: betting is prohibited for minors and must comply with your country’s laws. Gambling can spiral (money loss, family tensions, addiction). Need Help? Call 1-800-GAMBLER. In the UK? Visit https://www.gambleaware.org/https://www.gambleaware.org/.
No promises from us
Our predictions don’t form a contract. They have no legal standing. Plainly: you can’t rely on them to claim anything if a bet loses.
Info that changes
A prediction is based on what we know when we write it. But in the meantime, a team sheet (like Newcastle’s) changes, a player gets injured, the weather turns… and the analysis can become outdated fast. We can’t be held responsible for that.
Your role
Before betting, check that gambling is legal where you live. If it’s not, that’s on you, not us.
Responsible gambling first
We won’t say it enough: gamble responsibly. If you struggle to keep control, don’t wait to seek help. We can’t be held responsible for compulsive or excessive use of the site’s information.
