Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Newcastle United Player To Watch - Alexander Isak

One man that proves a constant threat for Newcastle is their ain man up front Alexander Isak and we would expect him to have an impact in this one as well.

Isak may not have started this season unbelievably but he does have 1 goal in the opening 3 games of the season. And if he can find his form from last season, which saw him score 21 Premier League goals, he is sure to get on the scoresheet here. Especially against a Wolves side that tend to concede goals.

Look out for the big Swede in this one.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Newcastle United Prediction

Coming into this game both sides are surprisingly evenly matched. With nothing major setting one side apart from the other.

Newcastle on paper are certainly the stronger team but they don’t tend to score too many goals.

If Wolves can stay composed and play in a controlled manner they may get something from this game.

That is why we are backing a Draw in this game. And at odds of 11/4, £10 has the potential to return up to £37.50 in this game.
