Newcastle Eye Sixth Straight League Win as Wolves Fight to Stay Afloat.
Newcastle United return to Premier League action brimming with confidence after progressing in both domestic cup competitions. Their recent form has been nothing short of electric, with five of their eight consecutive victories coming in league play. This impressive run has revitalized their push for a top-four finish and put them on the verge of achieving something they haven’t done since 2022: six consecutive league wins.
However, achieving that milestone won’t come easily. While the Magpies have triumphed in their last two home league matches, they’ve struggled to sustain momentum in similar situations this season. On three occasions since the start of 2024, back-to-back home league wins were followed by a 1-1 draw. Such results are far from unfamiliar in this fixture; Newcastle and Wolves have drawn 11 of their 19 Premier League meetings. That’s the highest draw rate for any fixture played at least 15 times in the competition.
Wolves, meanwhile, are grappling with their own challenges. A narrow victory over Bristol City in the FA Cup offered a brief respite, but their Premier League struggles remain front and center. Under the guidance of Vítor Pereira, the team is fighting to steer clear of relegation. While Pereira has had a positive start to his tenure, picking up two wins and a draw from his first four league games, his side still faces an uphill battle.
Adding further urgency to Wolves’ situation is their poor defensive record on the road. The team has managed just one clean sheet in away league matches since the start of the year. Pereira has moved to address this issue with the £16.6 million signing of Emmanuel Agbadou, a center-back whose presence could be crucial to stabilizing their backline. That said, history isn’t on Wolves’ side at St James’ Park, where they have yet to keep a clean sheet in nine Premier League visits.
Newcastle will look to Fabian Schär for inspiration, as the Swiss defender has a stellar record against Wolves. He’s never been on the losing side in eight career meetings with them and has contributed both offensively and defensively with three goals and three bookings during those encounters. Meanwhile, Wolves will hope for a spark from Matheus Cunha, who returns from suspension. The forward has been particularly effective on the road, scoring the bulk of his ten league goals this season away from Molineux.
Another concern for Wolves is their inability to capitalize on early leads. Despite scoring first in seven league matches this season, they’ve failed to secure a win in more than half of them. This fragility when ahead could prove costly against a Newcastle side that’s been ruthless in recent weeks.
The Magpies’ attacking strength, combined with Wolves’ defensive vulnerabilities, sets the stage for an intriguing contest. Newcastle will aim to extend their winning streak and maintain their push for European football, while Wolves are desperate to claw their way out of the relegation battle. With both sides having plenty to fight for, this clash at St James’ Park promises to deliver drama and intensity.
