Wolves head to St James’ Park this weekend to take on Newcastle in the Premier League, with Nuno Espirito Santo’s side enjoying an excellent run of form.

The hosts, for their part, are only just outside of the relegation zone following one win from their last six games.

Wolves meanwhile beat Manchester City in their last away game and the Molineux outfit are priced at 2.50 with the draw at 3.00.
Newcastle vs Wolves Team News
Newcastle could be without Swiss defender Fabian Schar with the 27-year-old picking up an injury at Chelsea last weekend.
Matt Richie and Florian Lejeune are both back in full training but it remains to be seen whether they are fit enough to feature on Sunday.
Striker Andy Carroll meanwhile is out of the clash with a groin problem.
Wolves fielded a much changed starting eleven in Slovakia. Ryan Bennet suffered an groin injury last weekend and did not travel.
Newcastle vs Wolves Preview
The visitors have shown themselves capable of competitng wherever they have traveled this season and while they have only won one away match in the Premier League, their performances have been generally encouraging.
Certainly Nuno Espirito Santo’s side have plenty of belief which is evident from the number of late goals they have scored this season.
Nearly 42 percent of Wolves’ league goals have been scored in the last 10 minutes and injury-time equalisers against Crystal Palace and Burnley have proved vital.
Newcastle have conceded 64 percent of their league goals in the second half so there should be plenty of interest in backing the visitors to net after the break.
Tips and predictions
Eight of Wolves’ last nine goals in the Premier League have come in the second half and the price of 1.91 for them to net after the break should attract plenty of attention.
