Wolves should be more realistic
In recent seasons, Wolves have always been close to the group that can win a ticket to play in the Europa League. However, maintaining their form in the context of always-changing tournaments is impossible for the "Wolves". The proof from the beginning of the season until now, Bruno Lage's team has played poorly, only won 1 point after 3 matches and is in the group holding the red light.
The virtual attack line like last season no longer appears, instead there is a deadlock. In 3 matches, the team at Molineux has only scored 1 goal. The defense has only conceded 3 goals in 3 matches, which is not a disaster, but the failure to score is making the team pay the price.
If we look at the positive side of Wolves' journey at the beginning of the season, they can comfort themselves because the reason why their opponents since the beginning of the season have been very strong is now. Leeds crushed Chelsea 3-0, Fulham was in trouble to catch Liverpool sharing points while Tottenham is a championship candidate. Wolves are currently not in good form enough to defeat such opponents.
This time, against a similarly strong team, the home advantage will almost disappear if Wolves do not make much change.
Newcastle has great ambitions
Similar to Tottenham, although not mentioned, Eddie Howe also has great ambitions like Antonio Conte. Conte wants Spurs to compete for the championship while Howe at least wants The Magpies to get a Europa League ticket. If they are in the second division of Europe next season, it will be a great success for the Magpies when last season, they were thought to be relegated at some point.
After the match against Manchester City, Newcastle proved that they are not simple, they are completely capable of competing this season. In the second half of last season and the past 3 summers, with the full support of Arabian owners, Newcastle has become stronger thanks to their strong football approach, from "house builders" familiar with the Premier League environment.
After a period of market exploration and gradual transformation, Newcastle has just launched the most expensive deal in the team's history when successfully recruiting Isak from Real Sociedad for up to 75 million pounds. Quickly, decisively and using money to talk, Newcastle is gradually showing the demeanor of a true young master.
Eddie Howe understands his mission at St. Petersburg James's Park initially only aimed to improve the team, but if this good achievement was continued, not improvised, the former Bournemouth captain could set a higher goal for himself. Newcastle's board also want this season to be an opportunity for the English strategist to show himself. The opportunities, momentum and potential of the team are too full, never in Howe's coaching career, he has an advantage like now, he has to try to take it.
The match between Wolves and Newcastle will take place at 20:00 on August 28 (Vietnam time), live on K+.
