Newcastle United form and stats
Newcastle United, who have the fewest conceded goals (17) in Premier League, have played 12 Premier League games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 6-5-1 (wins-draws-losses).
Stress levels are on the rise for Newcastle United's attacking players as they have now played 225 minutes without scoring in a league game. Almirón was their last goal scorer.
Newcastle faced defeat in their previous match, away at Manchester City (0-2). Attacking player Wilson outperformed all the other footballers in that game and was awarded a match rating of 7.03 out of 10. Wilson hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.
Before that, a loss in the away fixture against Manchester United in the Carabao Cup.
It should be taken into account that a look at the 10 latest league fixtures reveals that 8 of them qualified as a both teams to score: NO result (only one or none of the teams scored).
A decent goal production from Newcastle United in their home games so far, with 19 goals from 12 league matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. From these home matches, Newcastle United have conceded only 8 goals.
Wolverhampton Wanderers form and stats
There's been little loot from Wolverhampton Wanderers's travels as they have only collected 10 points from 13 away games in the Premier League. Wolverhampton Wanderers only have 2 wins to counter their 7 defeats and 4 draws.
Traoré scored in Wolverhampton Wanderers's previous match, the home game against Tottenham Hotspur that ended 1-0. That win felt good as this club had gone three league fixtures without winning. Goalkeeper Sá was absolutely vital in the Wolves victory against Tottenham Hotspur, making six saves. Sá was the team player of the game with the player rating of 8.05. The agile goalkeeper Sá topped it up with a clean sheet.
It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Liverpool wasn't a success with a 0-2 loss.The visitors have scored 9 goals from 13 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. Wolverhampton Wanderers's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 20 goals from these trips.
Head 2 Head
It's not the first time these teams meet on the pitch this season, as the statistics show this recent fixture: Wolverhampton Wanderers - Newcastle 1-1. H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Newcastle United one win, six draws and Wolverhampton Wanderers three victories. As for goals, three matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), seven games had two or less.
