Date: 13/09/25
Kick-off time: 15:00 BST
Venue: St. James’ Park

St. James’ Park is ready, the Premier League is rolling on, and Newcastle are desperate for their first win of the season. Wolves arrive on Tyneside in a rough patch themselves, sitting bottom after three defeats on the bounce.

Newcastle fans will be thinking: “this is our moment.” Wolves fans? Probably just hoping for a spark. So, who takes the points on Saturday afternoon? Let’s get into it.

Newcastle vs Wolves Team News

Newcastle United
Eddie Howe’s squad has had its share of dramas. Alexander Isak finally sealed his move to Liverpool on deadline day, so the Isak era is done. Now it’s about proving they can still score without him.

• Anthony Gordon is suspended after his red card against Liverpool.
• Joelinton is pushing for a return, which would be huge in midfield.
• Jacob Ramsey should be fit despite limping off against Leeds.
• New boys Nick Woltemade and Yoane Wissa could make their debuts.

Wolves
Vitor Pereira has a few positive updates, but he’s still looking at a patched-up squad.

• Jorgen Strand Larsen (a Newcastle target this summer) is back from a calf issue.
• Ki-Jana Hoever and Hugo Bueno should also be in contention.
• Deadline-day arrival Tolu Arokodare could feature.
• Leon Chiwome remains a long-term absentee.

Likely Lineups

Newcastle United (4-3-3):
Pope; Trippier, Schär, Botman, Burn; Guimarães, Tonali, Joelinton; Elanga, Barnes, Wissa

Wolves (3-4-3):
Sá; S. Bueno, Agbadou, T. Gomes; Tchatchoua, João Gomes, André, H. Bueno; Arias, Hwang, Arokodare

Newcastle vs Wolves Betting Tips

Here’s what I think… Newcastle are due a win, and Wolves are exactly the sort of opponent they’ve been brushing aside in recent years. The Magpies have won their last three Premier League meetings with Wolves at St. James’ Park, scoring plenty in the process.

Wolves’ defence has been leaking goals — eight conceded in just three league games. That’s not the kind of form you want going into one of the toughest away trips in the league.

Betting angles worth a look:

• Newcastle to win & over 2.5 goals
• Both teams to score – Yes (because Newcastle’s clean sheet record isn’t great)
• Anthony Elanga anytime scorer – his pace could tear Wolves apart

Newcastle vs Wolves Match Prediction

So, how does this play out? Newcastle are going to press hard, pin Wolves deep, and create chances. Wolves will try to sit back and counter, but they’ll struggle to cope with the intensity.

That said, Newcastle’s defence hasn’t exactly been watertight. If Wolves nick a goal, it’ll come through Hwang, who has a knack of scoring when you least expect it.

Match Prediction: Newcastle to win. Bet with bet365.

Newcastle vs Wolves Correct Score Tips & Prediction

I’m leaning towards Newcastle 2-0 Wolves. Solid enough at the back, clinical enough up front, and Wolves’ poor run continues.

Correct Score Prediction: Newcastle 2-0 Wolves. Bet with bet365.

Newcastle vs Wolves Over & Under Goals Betting Tips

The head-to-head suggests goals. Newcastle have scored 12 goals in their last five games against Wolves. Wolves, meanwhile, have been wide open at the back.

Over 2.5 goals feels like the safe call. If you fancy something a little bolder, over 3.5 goals is worth a look, especially with Newcastle’s attack ready to click into gear.

Over/Under Prediction: Over 2.5 Goals. Bet with bet365.
