Newcastle United will be looking to continue their recent impressive form across all competitions when they welcome Wolves to St James’ Park for Premier League Matchday 21 on Thursday evening.
The hosts are cooking on gas in recent weeks. Eddie Howe's men were last in action last weekend when they hosted League Two Bromley in the third round of the FA Cup. Thanks to goals from Miley, Gordon and Osula, the Magpies came from a goal down to claim a comfortable 3:1 victory and booked their place in the fourth round. Eddie Howe's side have now won each of their last eight games in all competitions and their fans will be hoping they can extend that run this week.
Wolves have not looked the same since the sacking of Gary O'Neil a month ago. The Wanderers have lost just one of their four league games under Vítor Pereira, beating Man United and Leicester City and drew with Tottenham. They booked their place in the fourth round of the FA Cup with a 2:1 win over Bristol City but once again their defensive problems were exposed.
Newcastle United vs Wolves Betting Tips: Over 2.5 goals
The front three of Alexander Isak, Anthony Gordon and Jacob Murphy have been firing on all cylinders this season, with the trio combining for 36 Premier League goals and assists this term. Newcastle boast at least three goals from each of their last four home matches and I fancy them to extend that run this week.
Wolves are also having a great run in the final third right now. They scored in each of their last four away matches, including 2+ goals in each of the last three.
- Best Tip: Over 2.5 goals
- Newcastle United vs Wolves prediction: 3-1
