Wolves vs Newcastle Prediction: Double Chance appeals for improving hosts

Sunday's double-header in the Premier League commences with Newcastle United's trip to Molineux to take on basement boys Wolverhampton Wanderers (14:00 GMT, live on Sky Sports Main Event).

The hosts have just one win to their name this season but their performances have improved in recent weeks, while Newcastle have struggled for consistency this term. Read on for my Wolves vs Newcastle prediction, as well as the latest team news and match odds.

Team News

Toti Gomes, Jean-Ricner Bellegarde and Marshall Munetsi all remain on the treatment table for the hosts due to various injuries.

Jose Sa will start between the sticks, Mateus Mane is expected to keep his place in the midfield, while Jorgen Strand Larsen will compete with Hee-Chan Hwang up front.

As for Newcastle, they are dealing with an extensive injury list.

Defenders Fabian Schar, Dan Burn, Jamaal Lascelles, Emil Krafth and Valentino Livramento are all sidelined for Sunday's contest, as are Jacob Murphy and William Osula.

Wolves vs Newacastle Odds

Unsurprisingly after winning just one game so far this season, Wolves are 18/5  to win on Sunday, the draw is 3/1 and Newcastle are 8/11 favourites, giving them an implied win probability of 57.9%.

Nick Woltemade is favourite to score anytime at 23/20, followed by fellow Newcastle teammate Yoane Wissa at 5/4.

Double Chance - Wolves or Draw @ 21/20

The hosts have endured a torrid first half of the season but things could be slowly starting to turn round at Molineux.

Wolves come into this contest unbeaten in four games, and have only lost one of their last seven home meetings with Newcastle. The Toon Army, on other hand, have struggled all season away from home, winning just twice in their last nine fixtures on the road.

Rob Edwards seems to have got his side playing better stuff in recent weeks, so backing the double chance - Wolves or Draw appeals here.

Under 1.5 Newcastle goals @ 11/10

Following on from my first tip, I'm doubling down on Newcastle's poor away form.

The Magpies are a very different proposition away from St James' Park, with their attack dropping off significantly. In their last 17 away games in the Premier League, their goal total has surpassed 1.5 on just three occasions, averaging 1.2 goals during that run.

In addition to that, Wolves have become a difficult side to break down, conceding just three goals across their last four matches.
