Wolves vs Newcastle Predictions: 18.01.2026 - Premier League Betting Tips

Wolves vs Newcastle

Wolves face off against Newcastle on Sunday afternoon in front of the Sky Sports cameras hoping to build on their four match unbeaten run. Eddie Howe's side fell to their first defeat in five midweek, but continue to chase down a Champions League spot for next season.

Do Wolves have any hope?

Rob Edwards' side are 14 points adrift with just 17 matches to go - but Wolves head into this encounter on the back of three positive results in the Premier League.

A 1-1 draw against Man United set the tone before delivering a solid 3-0 victory against West Ham. A further point was added to their tally on the road against Everton, and an FA Cup 4-0 win vs Shrewsbury would have only boosted the confidence within the dressing room,

Positive results have been due. Wolves' narrow defeats vs Arsenal and Liverpool were steps in the right direction, and instead of rolling over, they are showing there's fight left within the team.

It will take a miracle from here, but Wolves are taking it game by game and improvement has certainly been made. They are no longer the "easy side" to beat in the league.

Newcastle poor on the road

A disadvantage for Newcastle is their midweek match against Man City only added to their hectic schedule. With one eye on their Champions League tie three days after this match, Howe may look to rotate his side.

But having suffered back-to-back Premier League defeats against Sunderland and Man United prior to their win over Burnley, it has shown further evidence as to why they are underperforming away from St. James' Park.

Having won just nine points from a possible 30 on their travels, there's work to be done for Howe, who's injury list continues to pile up.

The team that turned up against Burnley will be required if the Toon Army are to come away with the three points at Molineux on Sunday.

Wolves vs Newcastle H2H

Newcastle have won four of their last five meetings, including a narrow 1-0 win earlier in the campaign. However, three of those wins have come at St. James' Park, and Newcastle have only won one of their last five trips to Molineux (W1 D3 L1).

Our Wolves vs Newcastle betting tip

Wolves are treating every match as a cup final - and they need to in order to pull off what would be the greatest escape of all time. But with Newcastle underperforming on the road, can they continue their unbeaten run?

Nathan Joyes looks at the Premier League betting odds for this match and has put forward his best bet.

Wolves to clinch another point

Wolves (4/1 with Betfred) will still need to convince many punters that they are capable of picking up results but their recent performances speak for themselves.

As mentioned, those vital points on the board had been coming after good displays vs both Arsenal and Liverpool. Their standout win at home against West Ham may have been more of a reflection of the visitors poor outing - but don't let the media trick you into thinking Wolves didn't step up and deliver.

Newcastle (7/10 with Betano) are tackling one fixture at a time during this hectic period - and that might catch them out in tricky looking ties.

On the road, Newcastle have failed to fire and they've not enjoyed many trips to Molineux in recent years. Coming up against a side fighting for their lives - but showing enough quality at both ends of the pitch - is never ideal - especially when their tails are up.

Can Wolves win? It's a bold bet but backing Newcastle at odds-against has more negatives than positives at present. Instead, the double chance option looks great for Edwards to get another valuable point.

TIP: Wolves double chance at 11/10 with BetMGM.
