Newcastle United vs Wolverhampton. Prediction and Betting Tips for English Premier League (April 8, 2022).

Newcastle had a very slow start to the season and recorded their first Premier league victory only on December 4. Under Eddie Howe, the team started strengthening their standings, and currently it sits in 15th place on the log with 31 points from 30 games (7 victories and 10 draws). 

The Magpies have been unimpressive on the offensive - they scored only 33 goals since the start of the Premier League while allowing almost twice per game on average. After a victory over Southampton (2:1), today's hosts suffered three consecutive defeats. 

Newcastle didn't have any success in the cups this year. They were knocked out of the League Cup in the very first game, and then failed to overcome Cambridge United (0:1) in the round of 32 of the FA Cup.

Howe won't be able to call upon the services of Wilson, Willock, Hayden, Trippier, and Lewis. 

Wolverhamptondidn't make deep runs in the cups, either. For instance, in the FA Cup, they celebrated success over Sheffield United (3:0) but got knocked out by Norwich City (0:1) in the following match. 

In the Premier League, the Wanderers are currently in 8th place, just outside the European club competition zone. They have already played 31 matches and have earned 49 points (15 victories and 4 draws).

Just like their hosts, the Wolves have registered only 33 goals, but have done much better on the defensive - they can boast the best defense outside the top-3. After losing to Leeds United (2:3), Bruno Lage's men got the upper hand over Aston Villa (2:1). 

The visitors will be without Nevesand Hoever, who are ruled out through injury. Jimenez is suspended for getting two yellow cards in the game against Leeds.
