Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Newcastle United: match statistics
Newcastle United are the clear favourites for this match. Wolverhampton are bottom of the table with just one win this season and a disastrous 80% home defeat rate, conceding an average of 2.3 goals per match at home. Newcastle, despite their weaker away record (20% win rate), are in significantly better form over their last five matches (3 wins, 2 points per game) and hold an advantage in possession (55% vs 47%) and the quality of chances created (xG 1.44 vs 1.18). Wolves have major defensive issues (a -13 goal difference in home matches) and have failed to score in 40% of their home games.
