Wolverhampton is coming into this match not playing in great form to start the season, but they have been in better form over their last 2 matches. They opened the new season with 2 straight losses, getting outscored 8-2 in those 2 matches, but they have a cup win against Burnley 2-0 at home and a 1-1 away draw against Nottingham Forest since those 2 losses. Their defense has been better with only 1 goal allowed in their last 2 matches and their attack has been better with 3 goals scored in that span as well. They are going up against a Newcastle side that has not been in good form in their recent matches either. They have 2 wins in their first 4 matches this season with no losses in that span, including a cup match, but they only have 1 win in their last 3 matches with 2 draws. Both of their draws came in their only 2 away matches as well, and they were not against elite teams in the Premier League either, draws coming against Nottingham Forest and Bournemouth. Their defense has conceded in both of their away matches this season and has also conceded at least 1 goal in each of their last 3 matches. The Wolves are still looking for their 1st Premier League win and they were playing in better form right before that international break which was a good opportunity for them to regroup. They will play better in this home match and Newcastle's defense has not been keeping teams out this season while their attack has also struggled to score. Wolverhampton will win this match at home or at least draw, take Wolverhampton +0.5 here.
England Premier League: Wolverhampton +0.5, Rot. 200158
