Welcome to the Betfair Betting Podcast. On Monday…
Wolves have enjoyed a brief resurgence under Rob Edwards as they look to complete the greatest escape of all, now four games unbeaten in all competitions.
They face a side in Newcastle on Sunday that have won twice on the road in the league this season with a chance to reduce the gap between themselves and Burnley.
Further to the match at Molineux, Kevin Hatchard, Mark O’Haire, Mark Stinchcombe and Sky Sports’ Lewis Jones supply their best angles across Europe, including why cards are expected to fly in Valencia’s match, and goals are expected in Stuttgart.
