Wolverhampton and Newcastle square off against each other in a matchup between two sides carrying very different momentum. As Wolverhampton suit Newcastle United, our prediction leans toward a 2-1 away win. The relegation-threatened hosts are coming off a spectacular 6-1 FA Cup triumph over Shrewsbury, though they still miss several key players, including Rodrigo Gomes, Toti Gomes, Bellegarde and Munetsi. At home, the Wolves have improved recently with back-to-back wins, averaging 2.00 goals scored at Molineux, but their defensive issues persist as they concede 1.60 per home game and keep a clean sheet in just 20% of home fixtures.
Eddie Howe's men, meanwhile, are high confidence after edging Bournemouth on penalties in the FA Cup. Jacob Murphy has recovered, and other first-team regulars remain fit. Their form trend (lwwwd) reflects an upturn, and they boast a strong 67% home win rate, though away from home they drop to 25%, scoring only 1.25 goals per game. Still, Newcastle’s attacking output overall is superior, averaging 2.00 goals per match and producing BTTS in 70% of their games.
Head-to-head, the Magpies dominate with 10 wins from 23 meetings, while 87% of those clashes saw over 1.5 goals. Therefore, Away Win is our main betting tip for this Premier League fixture, with additional value on BTTS (65% H2H) and Over 2.5 goals (48%).
This Premier League match will be played on Sunday 18 January 2026 at 14:00.
