Former BBC host predicts Newcastle's away win against Wolves

Newcastle has got to a decent start in the new Premier League campaign, having 7 points in the three fixtures so far. Even though the Magpies club hasn't looked dominating, being a bit off-color in their overall performance, their defensive force has been keeping their pride. With the international break nearing an end, Newcastle would face Wolves in their first matchday after the break.

Former BBC host predicts Newcastle's away win against Wolves

Recently, former BBC pundit Mark Lawrenson, who was a former star footballer, has opined about the club's start in the new season and their upcoming fixture against Wolves. Speaking to the media, Lawrenson admitted that even though Howe's side hasn't been performing to their level best, results have been going their way.

Lawrenson said,

"“Newcastle have made a good start, but they’ve been unconvincing, and I would be of the opinion that that’s a really, really good thing. If you can be unconvincing in this league and still have a good start, it is quite something.""

As per his statement, the former Liverpool player seems a bit surprised seeing the club's results so far while checking their performance. However, with star players like Sandro Tonali, Alexander Isak, and Gordon returning better than before, the Magpies club stands a significant chance to improve upon their performance.

Analyzing the same and the recent forms of Howe's lineup and Wolves, Lawrenson has made a scoreline prediction of 2-1 in Newcastle's favor. He said,

"“Wolves have been a little all over the place, and I’m not sure about their signings. Newcastle are in better form, so I’ll back them.”"

For context, Wolves are arriving in the fixture after a dismal start to their Premier League campaign, going winless in their first 3 games. Moreover, having faced a humiliation of 6-2 at the hands of the Blues and a 2-0 loss against Arsenal, it shouldn't be a significantly difficult challenge for Newcastle.

Overall, former BBC pundit Mark Lawrenson has predicted in favor of Newcastle: a 2-1 victory against Wolves. Newcastle fans would hope the same, that the club continues unbeaten in the Premier League, fancying their chances of a top-4 finish.
