It's early days in the Premier League and both Wolverhampton Wanderers and Newcastle United are still hoping for a flying start in order to set the tone for the season. Three points can make a big difference at this stage.
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
Wolverhampton Wanderers form and stats
OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Wolverhampton Wanderers's two home games in the Premier League so far this season, having collected 3 points here at Molineux Stadium.
Nothing to worry about in defence for Wolves, as their goalkeeper Rui Pedro dos Santos Patricio has completely shut out the opponents for 180 minutes in the Premier League.
A good away victory last time out for Wolves, who won 1-0 against Leeds United (placed 10th). Before that, Wolves had a home game versus Fulham which ended with a victory 1-0.
The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Wolves matches with similar probabilities have ended with six wins, three draws and zero defeats (from nine games).
Early season league goal statistics from Wolverhampton Wanderers's 2 home games: 2 goals, 3 conceded.
Newcastle United form and stats
Four points from two away games for Newcastle United, meaning one draw and one victory in the Premier League so far.
Newcastle's previous game was their home loss versus Manchester United (1-4). Prior to that match, a home win 3-1 against Burnley.
It's a bit worrying for Newcastle United that their goalkeeper Karl Darlow made eight saves in the Manchester United game last time out, but still couldn''t prevent the loss.
Looking at the earlier recent performances of Newcastle when being an outsider away as they are today, we find five matches with the visitors losing zero times, drawing two and winning three games.
3 goals so far away for Newcastle United, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 1. All from 2 league matches away.
Head 2 Head
Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: three - four - three (Wolverhampton Wanderers wins - draws - Newcastle United wins). As for goals, four matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), six had two or less.Top Goalscorers
