Preview: Wolves vs Newcastle Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | Premier League 2025-26

The Magpies are on a four-match winning streak against Wolverhampton.

The Wolves are now gearing up to face Newcastle United for their matchweek 22 contest of the 2025-26 English Premier League. This is going to be an entertaining outing, taking place at the Molineux Stadium.

Wolverhampton Wanderers will be at home and must make the most of it. They have performed poorly since the beginning of the season. But their performances in their last three games have been good. They secured their first win in the English top tier against West Ham this season and then held Everton to a draw. The Wolves secured a 6-1 win in their FA Cup matchup against Shrewsbury Town.

Newcastle United are coming in after facing a defeat at the hands of Manchester City in their Carabao Cup semifinal first-leg contest. They were completely outplayed. The Eddie Howe-led side will be keen to continue their positive run of form in the Premier League. They are currently in sixth place on the points table and a win could even secure them a spot in tour four.

Players to Watch

Hwang Hee-Chan (Wolves)

Hwang Hee-Chan will be looking to step up his game so that he can help his side stand a chance against the Magpies. In 16 Premier League appearances, he has scored two goals and has an assist to his name. The 29-year-old is not in top form, but is surely going to play a crucial role in the attacking front.

Bruno Guimaraes (Newcastle)

From controlling the midfield to scoring goals, Bruno Guimaraes is a crucial part of the squad for Newcastle United. In 20 league matches of the ongoing campaign, he has 11 goal contributions to his name. With the ball at his feet, Guimaraes is going to be a constant threat to the opponent’s defence
