Newcastle United hosts Wolverhampton Wanderers in round 26 of the English Premier League. The match will be played on Saturday, February 27th at St. James' Park (Newcastle)
Perhaps Newcastle is the most old-school and most British team currently playing in the Premier League. The fans can only regret that the huge money from Saudi Arabia inevitably passed by them - the purchase by Middle Eastern investors was blocked by British football officials (and Mike Ashley is still suing about it.) But in any case, Steve Bruce remained at the coaching post and retained key footballers. The Magpies ended January with a defeat to Everton and beat Southampton on February 6 (3:2). Yes, the following defeats to Chelsea and Manchester United were deserved and predictable, but Newcastle is already in 17th place, and Fulham is only three points behind.

Wolverhampton was the discovery of the season before last. After returning from the Championship, the Wolves immediately advanced to the European Cups. And playing in the Europa League in the previous season (from where they were dramatically knocked out only by the future winner, Sevilla), they managed to take the same final 7th place in the Premier League. However, Nuno Espirito Santo and his team did not succeed much in the current championship. There was no usual rigor in defense, and the attack was knocked down by a serious injury of Raul Jimenez and a decrease in Traore's level. The Wolves couldn’t win in eight rounds in a row in January. Everything changed in February, and the game with Arsenal became a turning point. The Gunners opened the scoring but picked up two red cards and eventually lost 1-2. After that, Wolverhampton tied with Leicester and gained victories over Southampton and Leeds. However, the Wolves are still at the bottom of the standings.
Let’s look at interesting statistics - the teams have invariably played with a score of 1-1 for four times in a row. Moreover, Raul Jimenez scored in the 80th minute, but Murphy managed to equalize before the final whistle in the last match. Newcastle is too unstable at the moment. And Wolverhampton has gained good shape, so we recommend betting on its victory.
Prediction for the match: Wolverhampton to win
