Wolves vs Newcastle Tips
Tip 1
The 6/4 on show is correctly priced based on last season’s success in eight of 20 Premier League appearances, however, Joelinton has already produced a shot on target in two of his three outings this term, meaning there is potential value to be had.
One of his nine SOT came at Molineux in this very fixture last October, and with Sandro Tonali potentially reentering the midfield trio, he and his two Brazilian teammates will provide far greater balance to Newcastle’s operations, enabling them to equally share attacking responsibilities.
Tip 2
Matheus Cunha is often the main, or even only, bright spark in this Wolves team. Alexander Isak was the only player for Newcastle or Wolves to outperform Cunha’s 12 league goals last season.
The Brazilian is already off the mark, having netted in his team’s 6-2 defeat at Stamford Bridge. However, he has let off the most shots (9) and most shots on target (3) of any player taking to the field on Sunday, making him an incredibly attractive punt to notch.
Additionally, Cunha was absent for the away trip to St James’ Park in March, but he did produce four efforts – three of which tested Nick Pope in goal – during the 2-2 draw at Molineux last year.
Wolves Form, Team News & Predicted Line-Up
Gary O’Neill’s side sit all the way down in 18th, having only mustered a single point from their opening trio of fixtures, which came in a stalemate Nottingham Forest at the City Ground.
Boubacar Traore, Sasa Kalajdzic and Enso Gonzalez are all out of the question due to knee injuries. Yerson Mosquera, Rayan Ait-Nouri and Mario Lemina will all face late fitness tests to feature in Sunday’s game.
Wolves Predicted XI: Johnstone; Semedo, S. Bueno, Dawson, Toti; Bellegarde, Lemina, Gomes, Ait-Nouri; Cunha, Hwang.
Newcastle Form, Team News & Predicted Line-Up
The Magpies are one of seven teams who remain unbeaten heading into match day 4, edging out Tottenham in a tight 2-1 encounter at St James’ Park before September’s Nations League fixtures.
Fabian Schar is available again after serving his three-game ban for headbutting Southampton’s Ben Brereton Diaz on the opening weekend, as is Sandro Tonali, who could be in line for his first Premier League appearance since his betting ban. Sven Botman, Jamaal Lascelles, Lewis Miley, Callum Wilson and Joe Willock all remain absent.
Newcastle Predicted XI: Pope; Livramento, Schar, Burn, Hall; Guimaraes, Tonali, Joelinton; Barnes, Isak, Gordon.
