Prediction: 3-1
Wolves
High-flying Newcastle United will be aiming to extend their winning run to nine games in all competitions when they take on Wolverhampton in the Premier League round 21. The Magpies came from behind to beat Bromley 3-1 in the FA Cup round 3 and a triumph over Wolverhampton could see them climb to the Champions League berth. Defender Fabian Schar is back from the Premier League ban, while all Sandro Tonali, Aaron Gordon, and Bruno Guimaraes should be recalled to the starting XI.
The Wolves, on the other hand, are sitting in the danger zone ahead of the trip to Newcastle. As Vitor Pereira’s men experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 3-0 loss to Nottingham Forest, we are tempted to put our money on Eddie Howe’s troops. Key Wolverhampton attacker Matheus Cunha is back from suspension, whereas both Nelson Semedo and Craig Dawson are major doubts.
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.
