Will the Reds follow up at Molineux Stadium?
After a liberating 2-0 home win against Aston Villa, a glimmer of hope is returning to Molineux Stadium, but the bare figures for the 2025/26 season continue to read like a sporting declaration of bankruptcy for Wolverhampton Wanderers. With only 13 points, the Wolves are at the bottom of the Premier League table and now welcome Liverpool FC, statistically their most feared opponent.
With the Reds arriving in high spirits after their resounding 5-2 win against West Ham and unable to afford any slip-ups in the battle for Champions League places, our tendency for Wolverhampton vs. Liverpool is to go for tip 2.
What is particularly interesting here is the visitors’ efficiency away from home. Arne Slot’s team won their last two away games (against Sunderland and Nottingham) 1-0 each, demonstrating a defensive stability that the hosts completely lack. While the Wolves have already conceded 51 goals this season, LFC are usually solid defensively. Nevertheless, a 0-0 draw would not help the Wanderers, who will have to try to build on their 2-0 win against the Villans in front of their home crowd. Against this backdrop, we expect goals and therefore recommend combining a bet on an away win for the Reds with a bet on over 1.5 goals in our Wolverhampton vs. Liverpool prediction.
Despite the clear division of roles, the Scousers will have to do without some prominent names. Record signing Alexander Isak and playmaker Florian Wirtz are out with injuries, which once again puts the offensive burden on Mo Salah’s shoulders. However, the Egyptian traditionally delivers against the Wanderers: he has been directly involved in nine goals in his last ten games against Wolverhampton. Since the Wolves are also having extreme problems in the first half this season – they haven’t scored a goal before the break in nine games – we also think it’s very likely that LFC will already be leading at half-time.
Wolverhampton – Liverpool Head-to-head record
Head to head: 37 – 18 – 64
A total of 119 matches have been played between the two teams so far, with Liverpool FC leading the head-to-head record against Wolverhampton Wanderers very clearly with 64 wins.
The Reds also won the first leg against the Wolves 2-1 and have thus won 17 of their last 18 Premier League duels with the relegation-threatened Wanderers (one defeat).
Wolverhampton – Liverpool Tip
Although the Wolves showed signs of life against Aston Villa on the last matchday, our tip for Wolverhampton against Liverpool is an away win. Despite the absences of Wirtz and Isak, the individual quality of the Slot XI is simply too high for the bottom team.
Although the Reds have not been setting the world alight offensively recently, winning their last two Premier League away games at Nottingham and Sunderland by a minimal 1-0 margin, the reigning champions are now visiting a club that has conceded 51 goals in 29 Premier League games. Consequently, we expect to see a little more action this time around, especially since the LFC offense just put West Ham United in their place with a 5-2 win on Saturday.
We therefore expect the Reds to live up to their role as favorites and pick up another three points in the battle for the top spot. Another minimalist 1-0 victory would surprise us, which is why we are combining our tip for an away win for the Reds with a bet on over 1.5 goals in the game to push the betting odds up a little for Wolverhampton vs. Liverpool. Betano is offering odds of 1.57 for this, which we are betting on with six out of ten units.
