Goal Statistics

Newcastle United's forwards have been excellent of late, finding the net twice or more in 7 consecutive English Premier League matches. A PG of 2.1 suggests that run should continue on Wednesday evening.

Newcastle United's defensive record is very strong, Eddie Howe's men having conceded 1 or less in 5 consecutive English Premier League matches. An average PG rating of 1.2 for Wolverhampton Wanderers makes sense in this context.
