Match Prediction: Newcastle vs. Wolverhampton
Both teams are determined to win this match, as it's time to start getting victories in the new season. Neither club has impressed with their scoring ability so far, but the international break should help the coaches fine-tune their attacking play. I'm confident they will succeed, and Newcastle has scored in 13 of their last 14 home Premier League matches, while Wolverhampton has scored in 7 of their last 9 away league games.
Additionally, at least 3 goals have been scored in 12 of Newcastle's last 14 home games, as well as in 14 of Wolverhampton's last 18 away Premier League matches. Furthermore, both teams have scored in 15 of their last 18 head-to-head Premier League encounters. Therefore, there is a high likelihood of a high-scoring match, with both teams finding the net.
My prediction: Both teams to score – yes
* The starting lineup for each team is based on their last match in this tournament.
