Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Liverpool Preview: Odds, Tips & Predictions

Date: Tuesday, March 3 Venue: Molineux Kick-off: 8:15pm GMT Wolverhampton Wanderers will be hoping for some more home joy when they face Liverpool at Molineux on Tuesday, March 3. Although Wolves are doomed and set for relegation, Liverpool are chasing a top-four spot, and so there will be plenty of odds bandied about at the top football betting sites. While Wolves have found things tough going this term, they dented Arsenal’s title chances when they fought back heroically last month, rescuing a point when they were trailing 2-0. Liverpool, on the other hand, may not be the force of last season, but they have been picking up points on the road, and cementing a Champions League spot is eminently possible. Having beaten Wolves 2-1 earlier in the season at Anfield, nothing less than three points will do for Liverpool.

Head-to-Head Record

Premier League head-to-head records serve a purpose, so let’s assess the recent tale of the tape between Wolverhampton Wanderers and Liverpool.

Last Five Meetings (Premier League)

  1. 27/12/25: Liverpool 2-1 Wolverhampton Wanderers

  2. 16/02/25: Liverpool 2-1 Wolverhampton Wanderers

  3. 28/09/24: Wolverhampton Wanderers 1-2 Liverpool

  5. 16/09/23: Wolverhampton Wanderers 1-3 Liverpool

Wolverhampton Wanderers Form – LLDDL

Glossing over the fact that it has been a dire season for Wolves, there was one rare highlight.

Against Arsenal, they looked dead and buried when trailing 2-0, but they showed tenacity and fighting spirit to turn things around, and the crowd was rocking at Molineux.

Only Burnley (52) have conceded more goals than Wolves this season, and Liverpool will be licking their lips, ready to tear Wolves from limb to limb. If they can gear themselves up for this one as they did against Arsenal, then Liverpool will need to rethink their game plan.

Key Players To Watch

  • Hugo Bueno
    After grabbing his first Premier League goal with a terrific strike against Arsenal, Hugo Bueno won’t be scared to have a pop from distance, so Liverpool must close him down.
  • Mateus Mane
    An industrious midfielder, Mateus Mane has chipped in with two goals, and he’s always looking to break the lines, so the Reds must be careful.
  • Angel Gomes
    Although he only joined in the January transfer window, Angel Gomes has been getting stuck into challenges, and if he can get more of a look-in in the penalty box, he could cause Liverpool problems.

Wolverhampton Wanderers News

Wolverhampton Wanderers are still missing Hwang Hee-Chan, while Toti Gomes (hamstring) remains unavailable for selection to face Liverpool.

Liverpool Current Form - LWLWW

It has been a bit of a slog this season for Liverpool, and with a combination of players struggling for confidence and indifferent results, the Reds’ title defence has been an unqualified failure.

Nevertheless, when at their best, Liverpool can press high, draw players out of position and kill off teams at will.

Before the Arsenal game, Wolves were viewed as lambs to the slaughter, and Liverpool will need to keep their foot on the gas if they are going to come away with three points.

Key Players To Watch

  • Hugo Ekitike
    A menace in attack, Hugo Ekitike has been a revelation for Liverpool this season, and his 10 league goals attest to this.
  • Florian Wirtz
    Although it took him time to settle, Florian Wirtz is starting to influence his games, and his six goal involvements (four goals and two assists) emphasise his growing importance to the cause. He also netted in the previous encounter with Wolves.
  • Cody Gakpo
    With bundles of pace and ability to beat defenders, Cody Gakpo has supplied five goals and three assists, and he could run Wolves ragged.

Liverpool Team News

Liverpool have a few long-term absentees, such as Alexander Isak and Jeremie Frimpong, but this shouldn’t affect who will feature in Slot’s starting XI for the Wolves clash.

Predicted Line-Ups

  1. Wolves (3-4-2-1)

    Sa; Mosquera, Santiago Bueno, Krejci, Tchatchoua, Gomes, Andre, Hugo Bueno, Bellegarde, Mane; Armstrong

  2. Liverpool (4-2-3-1)

    Becker; Szoboszlai, Konate, Van Dijk, Kerkez, Gravenberch, Mac Allister, Salah, Wirtz, Gakpo; Ekitike

Suggested Bets

Premier League sportsbooks never miss a trick, so make sure you read our expert tips and predictions

  1. Over 2.5 Goals: The past three Premier League clashes between these sides have seen this line exceeded, so Over 2.5 goals is worth latching onto. (8/15 with Midnite)

  2. Both Teams to Score (Yes): The last time Liverpool kept a clean sheet against Wolves was May 2024, so the BTTS line appeals (8/11 with Betfred)

  3. First Team to Score – Liverpool: The Reds have surged into the lead in each of the past four league encounters, so this should tickle your fancy. (4/11 with Fitzdares)

Value Bets

A new player promotion is also worth checking out when lining up bets at recognised Premier League bookmakers

  1. Anytime Goalscorer – Hugo Ekitike: Although he hasn’t scored in this fixture before, Ekitike is a handful, and he could add to his tally of 10 league goals. (11/10 with BetUK)

  2. Anytime Assist – Mohamed Salah: Although he hasn’t scored since coming back from AFCON, Mohamed Salah has laid on a few assists, and he could notch one up against Wolves. (12/5 with Leovegas)

  3. Over 12.5 Corners: On Liverpool’s last visit to Molineux, they dominated the corner count, and across the 90 minutes, a total of Over 12.5 corners doesn’t seem overly ambitious. (43/20 with BetMGM)

Prediction: Liverpool to Win & Both Teams to Score

Liverpool aren’t exactly firing on all cylinders, but they have a task at hand, and a top-four finish is within their grasp. A visit to lowly Wolves should be just the tonic, and although Rob Edwards’ side stunned Arsenal, lightning won’t strike twice.

The pace of Ekitike and Gakpo is bound to be too much for Wolves, who have leaked goals left, right, and centre. Invariably, games featuring Liverpool and Wolves have seen the BTTS line fulfilled, and given the Reds’ formidable record against Wolves, an away win and the BTTS line to be met is a distinct possibility.
