JAKARTA - Newcastle United will host Wolverhampton Wanderers at St James Park, on Saturday, March 2. Newcastle are certainly the favorites in this match compared to the Wolves guests.

Both teams have consistently scored in 16 of their 17 Premier League meetings, so goals are likely to come up at St James Park.

The two teams got into this game just one point apart and one position in the table, after Wolves achieved a positive result that allowed them to outperform Newcastle in recent weeks.

Both teams will enter this match with high enthusiasm after qualifying for the FA Cup quarter-finals. Newcastle managed to beat Blackburn Rovers in a dramatic match that ended on penalties, while Wolves eliminated Brighton on the same day.

Victory in the FA Cup is a huge boost for Newcastle towards the end of this season, where they must immediately improve their performance in the Premier League.

Newcastle have only won two of their Premier League last nine games and suffered a 4-1 defeat to Arsenal in their last match in the competition. However, a win on penalties in the FA Cup brought great joy to Eddie Howe's squad ahead of this match.

On the other hand, Wolves have been impressive lately by winning positive results, including a crucial win over Brighton. With Hwang Hee-chan and Matheus Cunha impressed up front, Wolves have made some positive results, including an away win over Brentford, Chelsea, and Tottenham.

However, Hwang's injury leaves him in doubt of appearing in the match against Newcastle, while Cunha has been ruled out. Nonetheless, Wolves will still be a serious threat to Newcastle.

The meeting between the two teams always presents goals. Sixteen of their previous 17 Premier League meetings have involved both teams scoring, with just one game ending in a clean sheet for one of the teams.

In the last meeting at St James Park, Hwang Hee-chan became a hero for Wolves by scoring goals. Nonetheless, Newcastle has a pretty good record against Wolves at home.

Wolves have entered this match with a better performance, winning a number of positive results in recent months. On the other hand, Newcastle's performance is a bit inconsistent, although they always look interesting with a lot of goals in their game.

This match is expected to be exciting and passionate, with both teams struggling to gain three important points in points hunting in the Premier League.
