Newcastle United have lost just two of their 20 Premier League matches against Wolves (W7 D11), a defeat percentage of just 10% - their lowest against any side they’ve faced at least 20 times in the competition.

Wolverhampton Wanderers have won just one of their last 22 away top-flight visits to Newcastle (D7 L14), winning 2-1 in December 2018 under Nuno Espírito Santo. In 43 away games at the Magpies in the top division, Wolves have just two clean sheets, with those coming in 1899 and 1974.

Newcastle have scored in all 20 Premier League games against Wolves – only Arsenal vs West Brom (26) and Arsenal vs Wolves (22) have played more games against one opponent and scored in each game in the competition’s history.

Newcastle United are winless in five Premier League games (D2 L3), last going six without a win in September 2022. The Magpies have lost both of their last two league games at St. James’ Park, last losing three in a row in February 2021.

Wolves have lost all three of their Premier League games this season, and could lose each of their opening four games of a league campaign for the very first time in their history, with this their 127th season in the Football League/Premier League.

Despite winning none of their first three Premier League matches so far this season (D2 L1), Newcastle have faced the fewest shots of any side (18). It’s the fewest faced by a side in their first three games since 2021-22 (Man City, 15).

Since winning six Premier League games in a row in March and April, Wolves have picked up just one point in seven games (D1 L6), the first side in top-flight history to produce such a run, while the last team to follow up a six-game winning streak with seven winless games was Liverpool in the 2002-03 season (won seven in a row, then 11 winless, D5 L6).

Wolverhampton Wanderers have spent 81.5% of their Premier League matches losing so far this season, with only one other side spending more than 50% in a losing position (Aston Villa, 57.1%). The second highest percentage a side has spent in one game state in 2025-26 is Newcastle when drawing (79.6%).

New Wolves forward Tolu Arokodare was the joint leading scorer in the Belgian Pro League in the 2024-25 campaign with 21 goals, also having the most shots in the division (158). However, according to his xG, he was expected to score 28.6 goals, an underperformance of 7.6 which was the biggest in the division.

Nick Woltemade will be the fourth German player to play in the Premier League for Newcastle United, along with Dietmar Hamann, Loris Karius and Malick Thiaw. He scored five goals in his final seven appearances for Stuttgart in all competitions, and only eight Bundesliga players scored more goals in all competitions in 2024-25 than Woltemade (17).
