On March 2, the Premier League continued. Newcastle United will host Wolves. Before this game, Newcastle United lost 4-1 away to Arsenal, and this time the "Magpies" are back at home, and the team naturally wants to get back to winning ways. So, can Newcastle United get their way?
Newcastle United have not been as good as they used to be this season
Last season, Newcastle United were able to upset and qualify for the Champions League with an excellent performance, mainly because of their excellent defensive ability. However, the quality of Newcastle United's defence this season is far from last season. At present, Newcastle United have 11 wins, 4 draws, 11 losses, and total 37 points. 54 goals scored and 45 goals conceded. The average number of goals conceded per game is close to 2, which shows that the team's defensive quality is a certain gap compared with last season, and Newcastle United is fighting in the league and the Champions League in the early season, and the team's lack of bench depth is gradually exposed. Against Wolves in this game, Newcastle United at home desperately need a win to get back on winning track. After all, if the team's current position is fully impacted, maybe Newcastle United can still fight for a Europa League qualification. How the team can collect their emotions after the heavy defeat is a question that the coaching staff needs to consider.
No longer worried about relegation, Wolves have run out of desires
Compared to Newcastle United, who still want to make a name for themselves in European competition, Wolves seem to have no desire. The team was considered the relegation favourites at the beginning of the season due to the heavy loss of players. Julen Lopetegui even stepped down before the start of the 2023-24 season due to a feud with management. But with the progress of the game, the current Wolves and the relegation zone have a 15-point advantage, and it has been basically determined that this season has successfully "landed", so this season Wolves have no desire and can enter the stage of "lying flat". Of course, judging from the experience of the team's upset "pulling out" in the last game, this team has a strong ability to upset, and any opponent who dares to despise Wolves is doomed to pay the price. Therefore, the home team should not take this game lightly.
The two sides have been attacking fiercely recently, and the game ruled out the possibility of a 0-0 draw
In the previous 5 meetings between the two teams, goals have been scored. And Wolves have 3 wins and 2 losses in the last 5 games, Newcastle United has 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses, and the only draw is also a 1-1 score, so it is unlikely that there will be a 0-0 draw in this game. The excitement of this game must be guaranteed.
