Newcastle United will be hoping to keep their European hunt on track in the Premier League on Wednesday when they host Wolves at St. James’ Park.

The Magpies come into the round in scintillating form after winning each of their last five. In fact, a sixth straight victory this week could see them end the round in the Champions League spots.

Wolves have moved out of the drop zone since the arrival of Vito Pereira, but they are out of the relegation places on goal difference following a run of two matches without a win.

Newcastle vs. Wolves Prediction

The fact that Wolves have lost on their last three trips to Newcastle, and have failed to keep a clean sheet on nine trips to St. James’ Park shouldn’t be ignored this weekend.

Cunha’s absence is key, while Newcastle have won five on the bounce. Therefore, the preference is for the form team to pick up a sixth straight victory.
