Newcastle vs Wolves Prediction, Lineups and Odds: Isak in 33/10 fancy

Kick-off is fast approaching between Newcastle and Wolves at St James' Park tonight. Read on for our best bets for the clash as the Toon's Aleksandr Isak looks to continue his impressive run of form.

You could argue that Aleksander Isak is the most in-form striker in the world right now. The Swedish star has been amazing in recent weeks after a quiet start to the season. He has come away with 9 goals in his last 7 Premier League games and also scored the opener in Newcastle's heroic victory over Arsenal in the semi-final of the Carabao Cup. 

Although Wolves have shown signs of improvement under their new manager, their last league game against Nottingham Forest showed that there is still a long way to go for them as they lost 3-0. With the form Newcastle are in they should be able to punish this Wolves defence so you should expect Isak to find plenty of chances throughout the game.

Given his world-class form at the moment and Wolves' shaky defence, I believe Isak could find the back of the net at least twice on Wednesday night and like the odds of 33/10 for him to do so.

For my second tip, I am backing Jean-Ricner Bellegarde and Sandro Tonali to commit 1+ fouls each.

Both Sandro Tonali and Jean-Ricner Bellegarde are midfield players who are not afraid of tackling. Both men like to get stuck into the game, which can often lead to committing fouls, especially in tough and hard-fought games, which this one very well could be.

Jean-Ricner Bellegarde has committed a foul in 7 of his last 8 league games and committed multiple fouls in some of them. He averages 0.9 fouls a game and with Newcastle expected to have more of the ball on Wednesday night, Bellegarde could easily find himself committing a foul as time goes on.

Sandro Tonali has been fantastic since returning to the Newcastle squad after a lengthy ban however, he is definitely not shy of a tough tackle. Like Bellegarde, Tonali averages 0.9 fouls a game this season and has committed at least one foul in each of his last 4 league games. Although Newcastle should see more of the ball in this game, the Wolves' attacking options are no joke, and Tonali may need to commit a foul in this game to stop a Wolves counter attack.
