Liverpool vs Wolverhampton Wanderers Prediction, Preview & Betting Tips

Liverpool enters this game as firm favourites against Wolverhampton Wanderers as they sit 38 points ahead of the visitors, while their home record is impressive, having won eight, drawn two and lost just one of their 11 Premier League matches at Anfield this campaign.

On top of their already favourable statistics, Liverpool have won all of the last four head-to-head meetings between these two sides. Wolves also have a poor away record in the Premier League this campaign, having won two, drawn three and lost seven of their 12 matches away from Molineux, scoring 18 while conceding 28, meaning that they have the second-worst away defence in the division.

Arne Slot’s side averages just over two goals per game (24 goals in 11 matches) at Anfield and just under one goal conceded per game (0.8 goals conceded per game), a trend which we believe will continue.

Prediction: Liverpool 2-0 Wolverhampton Wanderers

Top of the table, Liverpool host 17th-place Wolverhampton Wanderers at Anfield in a crucial game for both sides, with Arne Slot’s men looking to maintain their gap to second-place Arsenal, while the visitors are desperately attempting to strengthen their bid to avoid relegation.

When these two sides last met back on 28th September, Liverpool beat Wolves 2-1 at Molineux as Ibrahima Konate and Mohamed Salah scored on either side of a Rayan Ait-Nouri equaliser in the 56th-minute.

Liverpool enter this game seven points clear of Arsenal heading into gameweek 25 and will be aiming to tick off victories and fixtures as they aim to win just their second-ever Premier League title, having broken their 30-year wait for a top-flight title win in 2019/20.

The Anfield could have been dominant throughout the campaign thus far, as they have accumulated 57 points from 24 matches (17 wins, six draws and one defeat), a momentum that they have taken into bot the League Cup and Champions League.

Slot’s men have already booked their place in the League Cup final in March, where they’ll play Newcastle United, having thrashed Tottenham Hotspur 4-1 on aggregate after progressing past Southampton (2-1), Brighton & Hove Albion (3-2) and West Ham United (5-1).

In the Champions League, Liverpool finished top of the Group Stage, only dropping points away at PSV (3-2) on matchday eight due to fielding a rotated side. Prior to that defeat, they had earned victories over AC Milan (3-1), Bologna (2-0), RB Leipzig (1-0), Bayer Leverkusen (4-0), Real Madrid (2-0), Girona (1-0) and Lille (2-1).

The only major blot on Liverpool’s copybook this season came in the Fourth Round of the FA Cup when they were eliminated 1-0 by Plymouth Argyle at Home Park.

Wolves managed to progress to the Fifth Round of the FA Cup last weekend, as they defeated Blackburn Rovers 2-0 at Ewood Park after beating Bristol City 2-1 in the Third Round.

Vitor Pereira’s aims are clear this season, to help the Molineux club survive in the Premier League, having looked like certain relegation candidates under predecessor, Gary O’Neil, having picked up just nine points from their first 16 league games. So far, Pereira has overseen three wins and a draw in eight games.

Yet again, Matheus Cunha has been a shining light for Wolves this season, as the former RB Leipzig and Atlético Madrid man has scored 11 goals and created four assists in 23 league appearances, seeing the Brazilian being linked with potential summer moves to the likes of Arsenal and Manchester United.

Liverpool’s only injury absentee is versatile defender Joe Gomez, as the ex-Charlton Athletic man was forced off in their defeat to Plymouth with a thigh injury. Curtis Jones will be suspended following his red card after the full-time whistle in the Merseyside derby on Wednesday night.

Wolverhampton Wanderers

Wolves have just two injury doubts leading into this game, as Yerson Mosquera and Jorgen Strand Larsen are both likely to miss the trip to Anfield.

Liverpool

Liverpool’s last five matches have seen them win two, draw one and lose two, having been held to a 2-2 draw in the last-ever Merseyside derby at Goodison Park following James Tarkowski’s stunning 98th-minute volley for Everton.

Prior to that game, the Reds had suffered defeats to Plymouth Argyle (1-0) and PSV (3-2) on either side of domestic victories against Bournemouth and Tottenham Hotspur, with Cody Gakpo, Mohamed Salah, Dominik Szoboszlai and Virgil van Dijk all getting on the scoresheet against the latter mentioned opponent.

Wolverhampton Wanderers

The visitors enter this game off the back of consecutive 2-0 wins over Blackburn Rovers and Aston Villa - notably, Matheus Cunha scored in both of those victories.

Before the aforementioned matches, Pereira’s men had suffered three defeats on the spin, however, they were against tough opposition as they were beaten by Arsenal (1-0), Chelsea (3-1) and Newcastle United (3-0).
