WOLVES vs LFC Betting Tips and Odds

Bet365 have the following odds available for this match:

Wolves are at +500, a draw is at +280, and Liverpool are at -175.  

Wolves will come into this match with renewed confidence and hope of gaining a prominent place in Europe for next season due to their win from two down at the Saints on Saturday and results elsewhere going their way.  They have 34 points and are in sixth, level on points with Manchester United and five off of Chelsea for the last UCL slot.  The latest win stopped a three-match winless streak, helping push them into this with a lot of momentum.  

Liverpool, on the other hand, will also be riding a big wave ahead of this match.  Liverpool are still on top and extended their lead by two more, up to 16, thanks to their win on Sunday against United and City’s draw with Palace.  They also have that extra game in hand as well, as they continue to inch closer toward what many feel is going to be a title, finally, for them.  They have dropped points just once all term, unbelievably.  

Wolves’ home record so far has been decent but far from great, seeing them take 17 points from 11 outings.  They have only been beaten twice there, but they also have won just four times on the ground, so they do need some improvement there.  They have seven points from their last nine on offer, showing they are very much a threat here.  The Reds, of course, have been strong away from home so far. They have nine wins out of ten, with a draw at United, and have only given up five measly goals on the road.  

Betfair have Liverpool leading at the half and winning at 2.3.  

Ladbrokes have no for both sides scoring at 20/23.  

Wolves vs Liverpool Prediction

Wolves have the capability of hurting Liverpool badly, but the Reds have managed to overcome all of their previous obstacles.  It will not be their easiest go of it, but in the end you can’t help but back them based on their trajectory.  

Correct Score Prediction: Wolves 0-1 Liverpool

Wolves Team News

Nuno Espirito Santo will be without defenders Willy Boly and Ruben Vinagre due to injuries.  Diogo Jota has been nursing a lower leg issue, but he might make it back in time.

Wolves Key Man

The man that ripped apart City earlier this season was Adama Traore, meaning he will be a well marshaled man, or had better be, against the Reds.  He has four goals and six assists so far, adding a much needed cutting edge to his God-gifted pace and natural athletic ability.  Up front, Raul Jimenez just keeps on getting better and better.  The Mexican international scored twice to equalize and then to put them in front on Saturday, giving him ten goals (to go with six assists) in the PL.  

Wolves Team Form

The Wanderers have a win, two losses, and two draws in their last five matches:

2-3 win at Southampton
1-0 loss at Manchester United (FA Cup)
1-1 home draw vs Newcastle
0-0 home draw vs Manchester United (FA Cup)
2-1 loss at Watford

Wolves Predicted Starting Line up

Expected Line up: 3-4-3

Liverpool Team News

Jurgen Klopp will be unable to call upon James Milner, Naby Keita, Nathaniel Clyne, and Dejan Lovren through injuries.  Fabinho played a role as a sub, but he is unlikely to play from the off in this fixture given he has only just returned.  The same can be said of Joel Matip.

Liverpool Key Man

Liverpool have kept a plethora of clean sheets of late, and a big deal to that has to do with Virgil van Dijk.  It’s been a while since they have conceded in the PL, and he also had a goal over United, the winner, in fact, making him one to watch on both ends of the pitch.  Up front, Mo Salah came through in the clutch late in the going to kill off the game, scoring for the tenth time to draw a bit closer to Sadio Mane for the club’s highest scorer so far.  

Liverpool Team Form

The Reds have won each of their last five matches:

2-0 home win vs Manchester United
0-1 win at Tottenham
1-0 home win vs Everton (FA Cup)
2-0 home win vs Sheffield United
1-0 home win vs Wolves

Liverpool Predicted Starting Line up

Expected Line up: 4-2-3-1

Make no mistake about the record listed above. Liverpool's trip to face Wolves will be one of their toughest tests to date. This is a team that have beaten City twice this term and only lost, barely, to the Reds the first go around. The Reds have to do everything they can to get a result, or a win, but they have that nous and experience to do it. They have destiny, seemingly, behind them now, and that helps take them closer to the title here.

Liverpool have taken more points (28) on the road than the seven bottom clubs in the table have total.
