Our prediction for this Premier League match:
Newcastle United will look to recover from a heavy 4-1 loss to Arsenal when they face Wolverhampton in the Premier League round 27. The Magpies have been scoring goals for fun of late, but it has to be noted that they failed to win the previous four home fixtures. All Callum Wilson, Joelinton, Matthew Targett, Nick Pope and Elliot Anderson are sidelined with injuries, but goalkeeper Martin Dubravka has overcome his injury.
The Wolves, on the other hand, aim to build on back-to-back wins over Tottenham and Sheffield United. Gary O’Neil’s troops have been showing signs of improvement of late and, taking everything into account, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. Matheus Cunha continues to miss out with injury, but the former Leipzig forward should be the only absentee in the visiting team. Hee-Chang Hwang is widely expected to lead the line for the Molineux Stadium outfit.
Highlighted Player (Hee-Chan Hwang):
Hwang Hee-Chan is a product of Pohang Steelers football academy. The Korean attacker, who was born in Chuncheon on January 26, 1996, started his senior career at FC Liefering of Austria and he scored 13 goals in 31 appearances for the club. The 177-cm tall striker currently plays for Red Bull Salzburg and you should bear in mind that he netted 12 goals for the club in the 2016/2017 season.
Hwang Hee-Chan won his second Austrian Bundesliga title with Salzburg in the 2016/2017 season, but the Red Bulls eventually failed to make it to the Champions League group stages. The Salzburg footballer made his South Korea debut in a 2-0 win over Canada on November 11, 2016.
Hee-Chan played regularly for the Korea national football team in the 2018 World Cup qualifiers and he scored one goal in the process. The Koreans eventually booked their place at the showpiece tournament in Russia, meaning that the Salzburg attacker will have a chance to prove his worth on the big stage.
Highlighted Team (Newcastle):
Newcastle United failed to impress in the 2015/2016 Premier League campaign and, as a result, they dropped to the English second tier. The Magpies will host their rivals at their St. James’ Park in the 2016/2017 Championship campaign and it has to be noted that the capacity of the stadium is 52,354.
Newcastle United have won four domestic trophies (1904/1905, 1906/1907, 1908/1909, 1926/1927), while lifting six FA Cup titles (1910, 1924, 1932, 1951, 1952, 1955) and a number of star players were part of the St. James’ Park outfit in the past.
David Ginola, Michael Owen, Alan Shearer, Les Ferdinand, Nolberto Solano, Gary Speed, Obafemi Martins and Kevin Nolan are notable footballers who are still remembered at the club. Newcastle’s fiercest rivals are Sunderland and there have always been fireworks when the two local rivals face each other in the Tyne-Wear derby. The color of Newcastle’s home kit is black and white.
