Liverpool vs Wolves Preview: Odds, Tips and Prediction

Despite the recent slump, Liverpool and Arne Slot have reminded everyone that form is temporary, but class is permanent. They have responded to all the noise in a positive manner, which has not only seen them regain confidence but also claw their way towards the European places. As the league enters the second half of the season, Slot will want to return to its rightful place and compete at the top of the table. 

Coming into this fixture, Liverpool have been undefeated and playing on the front foot. After being pushed to the limit in back-to-back draws against Sunderland and Leeds, the Reds returned to winning ways in fine fashion by defeating Italian giants Inter Milan in the Champions League. With little time to rest, it was back to league action, and a visit from Brighton would test their resilience.

Statistically, it was an evenly matched contest, but Hugo Ekitike proved to be the difference maker on the day as he scored a brace to guide Liverpool to victory. Although they may not be blowing teams away like they usually do, Liverpool are getting the job done and shifted their attention to Tottenham last time out. As expected, it was another fascinating matchup, and they earned their third consecutive victory. Wolves will be a very different challenge, but the objective of winning remains the same. 

Wolves are enduring one of the toughest campaigns in their recent history. To say they have struggled to find consistency is an understatement, as they have the worst attack and defence in the league, further highlighting how tough this period has been for them deep in the relegation zone. If Wolves can turn positive performances into results, they would be in a much better situation. 

Rob Edwards was brought in to turn things around, and not much has changed since taking on this crazy job. To be fair to Edwards, Wolves need a miracle to turn things around and have come up against tough opponents in the last five matches. Even though they have competed in every game, they just don’t have enough to get over the line and go on a strong run of putting together positive results.

The defeat to Arsenal was a major sign of improvement as they showed desire and determination to compete rather than sit back, which Edwards took into the Brentford game. With home advantage and desperation on their side, Wolves failed to capitalize on it and lost their 10th fixture in succession. That said, going to Anfield is no easy task, and Wolves will have to be near perfect to come away with anything from this encounter.
