Today's Betting Tips for Newcastle vs Wolves
Premier League predictions for Sunday's match between Newcastle and Wolves at St James' Park. Newcastle need to get back to winning ways this weekend if they want to keep the pressure on Liverpool and Tottenham in the race for the Champions League places, while Wolves will be hoping for at least a point from their trip to the North East as they look to distance themselves from the relegation places.
Contents
Both Teams to Score
Our first Newcastle vs Wolves prediction we're backing both teams to score. Six of the last seven league meetings between these two clubs have ended with both teams getting on the scoreboard. Newcastle have failed to keep a single clean sheet in any of their last six matches and Wolves have only kept one clean sheet in their last five attempts, so you can see why we're expecting either side to keep their clean sheets intact this weekend.
Miguel Almiron to Score
Our second Newcastle vs Wolves prediction delves into the Anytime Goalscorer market. Miguel Almiron has been one of Newcastle's most impressive performers this season with the Paraguay international top-soring for the Magpies in the Premier League with 10-goals. The goals have started to dry up for the 29-year-old in recent weeks with just one scored in his last 10 appearances in all competitions but we're backing the Newcastle midfield to get back on track against Wolves this weekend.

Newcastle vs Wolves Lineups
Newcastle
Newcastle played well away at Man City but for the second time on the run, Eddie Howe's men failed to take any of their chances and it proved costly. Foden scored the only goal of the first half aided by a kind deflection from Botman and Silva ended any faint hopes of a comeback for the Magpies with City's second goal in the 67th minute.
Joelinton is suspended this weekend after picking up his 10th yellow card of the campaign, while Schar, Fraser and Krafth are all injury concerns.
Predicted Lineup – Pope (GK), Trippier, Burn, Lascelles, Botman, Almirón, Guimarães, Longstaff, Wilson, Joelinton & Gordon
Wolves
Wolves picked up a massive 3pts at home to Tottenham last time out. Adama Traore scored the only goal of the game in the 82nd-minute showing that he can provide some end product at times. Wolves moved onto 27pts for the season and up into 13th-place with that victory and now sit 5pts clear of the drop zone.
Kalajdzic, Tavares, Hwang, Bueno, Costa and Boubacar Traore could all miss the trip to the North East this weekend due to injury.
Predicted Lineup – Sá (GK), Dawson, Jonny, Semedo, Kilman, Sarabia, Lemina, Neves, Nunes, Costa & Neto

Player to Watch: Bruno Guimaraes
Newcastle need to rediscover their cutting edge as soon as possible and we believe that if Bruno Guimaraes puts in a high-standard performance this weekend then Newcastle will secure all 3pts.
Injuries and suspension have kept the Brazilian midfielder out of the first-team for periods this season and that has proved costly for Newcastle in recent months as the club have been dropping too many points and not scoring enough goals.
Guimaraes provides a goal threat and much-needed creativity in the Newcastle squad and we expect the former Lyon man to shine this weekend against Wolves.
