After a pick in the form in their recent matches, Wolves will be looking to extend their form this weekend when they play host to Newcastle. The match schedules for Sunday at the Molineux Stadium with kickoff at 4 pm.
Nuno Espirito’s side head into the match off a 1-0 win over sides Fulham and Leeds United. Newcastle head into the match following a 4-1 loss to Manchester United in their last time out.
It has been a mixed start to the Premier League. Wolves started with a 4-0 thrashing by West Ham United. It followed by getting knocked out of the EFL Cup while losing a home game against Manchester City.
Despite the losses, the side is currently sixth on the table, having won three of their opening five games in the top-flight for their first time in 1979-80. Back to back wins against Fulham and Leeds was enough to put the side on the right track. The side continues with keeping eight clean sheets in each of their last eight Premier League wins.
The goal threat for Newcastle is significantly improving in comparison to last season. The side netted five times in their last five games so far. Their defense proved leaky in their last time out against Manchester United after holding to a 1-1 draw in the game’s dying minutes ending in a 4-1 defeat.
