Newcastle vs Wolverhampton: Predictions Preview, Lineups, H2h for September 13, 2025

This Saturday, St. James’ Park in Newcastle will host an English Premier League match, where Newcastle United will face Wolverhampton. A bet on goals seems promising for this match.

Match preview

Newcastle has had a challenging start to the season, with just two draws from three matches and no wins. Coach Eddie Howe’s team has struggled in attack, and their defense has faltered at crucial moments, notably during their home game against Liverpool, where they lost after leading.

Despite their slow start, Newcastle is a strong home team. They have scored in 13 of their last 14 Premier League home games, highlighting their goal-scoring ability even in the absence of Gordon and possibly Joelinton.

Wolverhampton has started the season poorly, losing all three of their matches, including a heavy defeat to Manchester City and a home loss to Everton. New coach Vítor Pereira is still trying to establish a balanced playing style, with eight goals conceded in three games reflecting ongoing defensive issues.

On the attacking side, Wolves have managed to score in two out of their three matches, but these efforts haven’t translated into wins. Their away performance has not been strong, yet Wolves can bounce back, particularly against a struggling team like Newcastle.

Probable line-ups

• Newcastle: Pope, Schär, Livramento, Trippier, Burn, Botman, Murphy, Guimarães, Ramsey, Tonali, Osula
• Wolverhampton: Sá, Agbadou, Tote Gomes, Tshatshua, S. Bueno, U. Bueno, André, João Gomes, Arias, Manetsi, Hwang Hee-chan

Match facts and head-to-head

• Both teams have scored in 15 of the last 18 Premier League encounters.
• At least three goals have been scored in 12 of Newcastle’s last 14 home games.
• Wolverhampton is winless in their last seven Premier League matches.

Prediction

Both teams are in need of their first win of the season. However, their defensive weaknesses and a history of high-scoring matches suggest that betting on over 2.5 goals at odds of 1.81 is a good option.
