Wolves v Newcastle

Can they do it? Wolves have experienced something of a resurgence of late, taking five of their seven-point tally across the last three matchdays alone. It’s probably still too late to plot a course for Premier League survival, but if they can topple the mega-rich Newcastle and finally move into double figures, then… who knows?

Wolves v Newcastle

When: 2pm, Sunday, January 18th

Where: Molineux Stadium, Wolverhampton

TV: Sky Sports Main Event

Mateus Mane to score or assist

Mateus Mane has been sensational for Wolves since breaking into the side during their 2-1 defeat to Liverpool at Anfield. The 18-year-old has provided a real lift to the team and its fans after a gruelling season that has seen Wolves win just one of their 21 Premier League matches.

Ahead of this clash, Mane has scored in each of his last two league appearances, with those goals coming against Everton and West Ham. He has also registered one assist in his 447 minutes of Premier League football this term, which came during a brief cameo against Arsenal.

Mane is currently averaging a goal contribution every 149 minutes for Wolves, and his underlying numbers suggest he can sustain this level of performance. He has taken 12 shots in the league this season (2.42 per 90), created five chances (1.01 per 90), and averages 2.42 touches in the opposition box per 90.

Joao Gomes to be shown a card

João Gomes is the most aggressive player in the Wolves squad, and possibly in the entire league, though Sasa Lukic would rival him for that title. He has collected six yellow cards across his 18 Premier League starts this season, with his general style reflecting the overall aggression Wolves have played with throughout the campaign.

During their trip to St James’ Park earlier in the season, Wolves picked up four yellow cards and committed 17 fouls. Gomes was responsible for five of those fouls and received one of the bookings. In fact, all three of Wolves’ midfielders in that clash were shown a yellow card, making this area of the pitch worth focusing on once again.

João Gomes has picked up more yellow cards than any other Wolves player this season and also leads the squad in fouls committed (41 – 2.31 per 90). He will be up against Bruno Guimarães here, who is one of the league’s best at winning fouls. The Brazilian averages 2.32 fouls won per 90 in the Premier League this season.

Bruno Guimaraes 1+ shots on target

Bruno Guimarães has certainly had more of an impact in the final third for Newcastle this season. The Brazilian has already eclipsed last campaign’s goal tally, scoring eight times in the Premier League. This makes him Newcastle’s top scorer in the division and marks his best ever return in a Premier League campaign, surpassing his previous best of seven.

This increase in goal output stems from a slight change in Guimarães’ role, which has allowed him to push further up the field with Sandro Tonali sitting deeper. Guimarães has taken 29 shots across his 19 league starts this season (1.49 per 90), with an impressive 15 of those attempts finding the target (0.77 per 90).

He has registered a shot on target in four of his last five Premier League appearances, netting three goals during this period. The 28-year-old enters this clash with real momentum and as Newcastle’s leading scorer this term, making him an attractive option for a shot on target.
