The Premier League match between Newcastle United and Wolverhampton Wanderers will undoubtedly be an interesting affair. To be staged at St. James' Park on January 15, 2025, at 19:30 UTC, this will be a mouth-watering encounter between two teams of contrasts.
Recent Form and Head-to-Head Stats
Newcastle United comes into this game in great form, with a 70.7% chance of winning as the latest statistics indicate. They have been consistent at home, playing some excellent football in their last outings. The Magpies have been dominant, and their attacking power, along with tactical discipline under Eddie Howe, makes them tough to contend with.
Wolverhampton Wanderers, on the other hand, will have to fight on all cylinders in order for them to push the hosts. Coming into this game with them sitting lower in the Premier League table, Wolves' winning chance is pegged at 12.4% because the team is inconsistent in its results. However, football is unpredicted, and thus underdogs could yet surprise everyone with their strong result.
