The game will be played at Molineux Stadium in Wolverhampton, England, a historic football ground with a capacity of roughly 31,000 spectators and a tight, atmospheric layout that often gives Wolves a strong home-field advantage.

Given Newcastle United’s top-half position, more consistent attack and Wolves’ difficulties in both scoring and keeping clean sheets this season, the value leans toward a Newcastle win at around 2.00, with a secondary angle on Newcastle draw-no-bet near 1.40–1.50 as a safer play in case Wolverhampton manage another low-scoring home draw.

In recent Premier League meetings, Newcastle United have generally had the edge but many encounters have been close, with several draws and one-goal margins; over the last 10 league clashes, Newcastle have won the majority while Wolves have only managed a couple of victories, and both teams have scored in a high proportion of those matches.
