Newcastle will host their match of the 27th round of the English Premier League on Saturday evening, supported by their home crowd at St. James' Park against Wolverhampton. Will the hosts secure victory in this match? Here's the match prediction from the experts at Dailysports.
Newcastle
The "Magpies" had a splendid previous season and returned to the Champions League after a 10-year hiatus. However, their campaign in Europe's premier club competition did not go as planned, with Newcastle finishing bottom of their group. Meanwhile, their engagements on multiple fronts began to take a toll, and as winter approached, the "black and whites" started dropping points more frequently. They managed to stabilize their situation only towards the end of January, when they embarked on a good run of 4 matches - 2 victories and 2 draws. However, this streak was halted in the last round in London, where Newcastle suffered a resounding defeat to the resurgent Arsenal (1-4). As a result, after 26 rounds, Newcastle sits in 10th position. They approach the match against the "Wolves" following a victory in a penalty shootout against Blackburn in the FA Cup.
Wolverhampton
The "Wolves" managed to retain their place in the elite division last season. However, in the summer, following player sales and the departure of manager Julen Lopetegui, Wolverhampton were considered one of the prime candidates for relegation. However, things took an unexpected turn! While the start was shaky, the team managed to amass a total of 38 points in 26 matches. In the last four rounds, they secured away victories against Chelsea and Tottenham, as well as a home win against Sheffield United. Additionally, the "Wolves" progressed past Brighton in the FA Cup this week.
