Football Livescore | Match Prediction & Tips
-------------------------------
Wolverhampton Wanderers are riding positive momentum in their 2026 revival and hope to extend their unbeaten run to five matches against Newcastle United at Molineux. Wolves come into the Premier League clash full of confidence after a dominant FA Cup win over Shrewsbury Town. In contrast, Newcastle arrive wounded after a damaging midweek setback that hurt their EFL Cup title ambitions.
Team Analysis:
Wolves have sparked renewed hope after a bleak start, picking up five points from their last three league matches and boosting confidence with emphatic home and cup victories. Still bottom of the table, they could close the gap on safety with another win, having shown attacking fluency at Molineux despite ongoing defensive concerns. Newcastle, meanwhile, sit sixth after a strong Premier League run, but arrive after an EFL Cup setback and will aim to continue their recent dominance over Wolves.
Player Situation:
Newcastle’s thrilling win over Leeds came at a cost, with Fabian Schar facing a lengthy layoff and several other key players ruled out through injury for the trip to Molineux. Eddie Howe’s side are stretched thin, particularly in defence, as further absences continue to disrupt their momentum. Wolves, by contrast, have welcomed back several players, although injuries persist, and Rob Edwards must now decide his attacking options after Strand Larsen’s eye-catching hat-trick.
Result Prediction:
Wolves enter the match better rested and increasingly solid under Rob Edwards, raising hopes of a competitive showing at Molineux. However, Newcastle’s attacking threat is expected to pose a challenge that may be beyond the hosts’ recent improvements. As a result, Eddie Howe’s side are tipped to bounce back and secure a return to winning form.
Predicted Result: Wolves 1-2 Newcastle United.
