The Wolves v Newcastle odds suggest a pretty tight match, which is understandable. Wolves have made an un-noticed but fine start, beating Stoke and picking up a point at Everton, while Newcastle remain dizzy after their 6-0 win over Villa.

How both Wolves and Newcastle do in games like this should indicate a lot about their prospects.
Wolves: 6/4 with Betfred, Newcastle: 21/10 with Boylesports, Draw: 23/10 with Totesport
Wolves are showing a welcome confidence and self-belief in what can often be that tricky second season, in what looks a tougher looking league than 12 months ago. Mick McCarthy has added Michael Mancienne to his squad (again) while striker Steve Fletcher should be fit, along with Karl Henry Wolves struggled at home last time round, but Fletcher and Doyle up front looks a decent striker force. Mancienne adds further strength at the back and they have a good chance of survival adna little more.
Newcastle rested their entire first team as they won at Accrington Stanley in midweek, and it should be all change here. Andy Carroll obviously impressed in the win against Villa and there is quality in the side. Wolves though, are in danger of being under-rated and we’ll be taking the 6/4 with Betfred on them to make it seven points out of nine.
