Newcastle vs Wolves Betting Tips, Correct Score Prediction and Best Bet Builder Picks

Wolverhampton Wanderers have zero points after three games and football betting sites make Newcastle odds-on favourites to inflict another defeat on the Premier League’s bottom club on Saturday.

The Magpies are a best price of 9/20 to beat Wolves, who are 7/1 longshots to cause an upset at St James’ Park.

But Newcastle are also yet to win this season, having drawn two and lost one of their opening three fixtures. Therefore, the draw at 15/4 should not be discounted.

Despite their slow start to the season, a recent study claimed that Newcastle still have a 5.8% probability of winning the Premier League title.

Newcastle vs Wolves betting tips

The big storyline going into Saturday’s game centres on the Newcastle attack. Nick Woltemade and Yoane Wissa could both make their Newcastle debuts on Saturday after joining for a combined £124 million late in the transfer window — £1m less than the British record fee received by the club when selling Alexander Isak to Liverpool.

Woltemade and Wissa are the 9/2 joint-favourites in the First Goalscorer market. Either could be worth a punt but only if they start, so hold off until the teams are confirmed at around 1.45pm on Saturday.

Newcastle have already played out two 0-0 draws this season, but on paper this match looks like the perfect opportunity to kickstart their season. Wolves have not kept a clean sheet in their last eight games, dating back to April, so the Magpies — even with a new strikeforce lacking match sharpness — should be able to break through.

Still, this should be a tight affair because Newcastle — in addition to their two 0-0 draws on the road this season — have kept clean sheets in three of their last four home matches.

Therefore, Newcastle to win to nil at 29/20 is tempting — especially as it has come in in this fixture three of the last four times. Under 2.5 goals at 57/50 also stands out.

Newcastle vs Wolves: Correct Score prediction

Newcastle’s clean-sheet record at home combined with Wolves’ struggles in front of goal points towards another low-scoring contest.

The Magpies should edge it, but don’t expect fireworks.

Newcastle vs Wolves: Best Bet Builders

For fans interested in dreaming big, you can get 180/1 on Newcastle to win, under 2.5 goals, over 10.5 corners, Toti Gomes to commit over 1.5 fouls, Bruno Guimaraes to make over 2.5 tackles and Nick Pope to be shown a card — which is very possible if his side are protecting a narrow lead, considering his form for time-wasting.

A slightly more cautious Bet Builder option would be 9/2 for Newcastle to win, under 2.5 goals and Toti to commit at least one foul.

Newcastle vs Wolves team news

Newcastle

Anthony Gordon serves the second game of his three-match suspension. Joelinton is a doubt with a groin injury, but Jacob Ramsey should be fit after a recent ankle issue.

Bruno Guimaraes should also be fit despite having a busy international break with Brazil. Yoane Wissa played for DR Congo on Tuesday, meaning a late return to training, which could tilt the starting nod towards Nick Woltemade, if not William Osula.

Wolves

Jorgen Strand Larsen is expected to recover from the calf problem that ruled him out of the Everton game and Norway duty.

However, Leon Chiwome (ACL) remains sidelined, while Ki-Jana Hoever is a doubt.
