Best Bets & Predictions
| Our Prediction | Odds & Bookmaker | Confidence | Why We’re Backing It |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wolves Double Chance | 11/10 @ Bet365 (47.6%) | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Wolves have been much improved in recent weeks under Rob Edwards. Although avoiding relegation may be out of the question, the hosts can take something against a Newcastle side who have struggled on the road this season. The Old Gold are unbeaten in their last three league outings after a point against Everton and Manchester United and a win against West Ham. It’s also worth noting that Newcastle have had less time to prepare for this game after an exhausting League Cup semi-final against Manchester City on Tuesday. |
| Mateus Mane to score anytime | 4/1 @ Betfair (20.0%) | ⭐⭐⭐ | Mateus Mane has been a breath of fresh air since coming into the Wolves team. A real live-wire who loves to get a shot away, Mane has scored. has scored in each of his last two Premier League games for Wolves. Only four players aged 18 and under have scored in three in a row – Michael Owen (twice, 1997 and 1998), Danny Cadamarteri (1997), Francis Jeffers (1999) and Mason Greenwood (2020). Mane has recorded at least one shot on target in all of his last five and looks a big price here at 4/1 to find the net. |

How both teams go into Wolves vs Newcastle
A few weeks ago, the feeling was that Wolves could become the worst team in Premier League history and set the lowest ever points tally. However, things have picked up in recent weeks, and Rob Edwards’ side have put in some much-improved performances.
On December 30th, Wolves managed a point against Manchester United. Since then they have beaten West Ham, collected a point away at Everton and then hammered Shrewsbury 6-1 in the FA Cup. Refreshed optimism has arrived at Molineux in January, but safety still looks an impossible challenge.
Newcastle sit sixth in the Premier League standings prior to this weekend’s fixtures. The Magpies are just two points behind Liverpool in fourth and are still involved in four competitions. Eddie Howe’s side were last in action on Tuesday when they were beaten by Manchester City in the first leg of their League Cup semi-final. Newcastle have struggled on the road this season with just two league wins.

Conclusion
Given Newcastle’s overwhelming statistical superiority in attack, defence, and creativity, it is hard to look past an away win at Molineux. Wolves’ leaky backline and struggles in front of goal leave them vulnerable to a Newcastle side brimming with confidence and options. Will Newcastle United add another win to their impressive run against Wolves? Back the visitors to take all three points at 10/11 with Bet365 (52.4%) and keep tabs on Bruno Guimaraes for another decisive showing.
