Newcastle vs. Wolverhampton: Match Prediction
Both teams are determined to win this match as they look to start their winning accounts for the new season. Neither club has impressed with their scoring ability so far, but the international break should give managers the chance to refine their attacking play. Newcastle has scored in 13 of their last 14 home Premier League games, while Wolverhampton has found the net in 7 of their last 9 away league encounters.
Additionally, at least 3 goals have been scored in 12 of Newcastle's last 14 home games, as well as in 14 of Wolverhampton's last 18 away Premier League matches. Moreover, both teams have scored in 15 of the last 18 head-to-head meetings in the Premier League. Therefore, it's highly likely that both teams will find the net in this encounter.
My prediction – Both teams to score – Yes
