Newcastle - Wolves Prediction, Picks and Tips
The last match that was missing from Premier's day has already come and we are going with him. We are looking for Jamaal Lascelles, Newcastle's central defender, to overcome 33.5 passes against Wolverhampton.
Lascelles averages 35.7 passes this season, which is already a favorable fact, two passes above the proposed line. We must also bear in mind that in two of the games he only played 46 minutes, so his average when he plays 90 ', and that is the usual, is closer to 40 passes. Playing the 90 minutes has overcome the line in 6 of 9 games, staying below against teams like Everton, Manchester City or Manchester United. If they have something in common these 3 teams is that they like the ball and all of them are above 50% of average possession.
The rival this Sunday will be Wolverhampton, team that only averages 46.5% of possession, being the 5th worst set of the Premier in this section. For example the Brighton central, team that escapes the ball with the second worst possession, both exceeded the line with 35 and 38. And that they were ahead from the minute 48. The Burnley centers, team very similar to Newcastle as to keep the ball, they also exceeded the line with 42 passes for Tarkowski and 61 for Mee. What has been said, I think it is a very acceptable line for Lascelles, who also plays at home, where his average goes up to 41 passes.
