Wolves find themselves under immense pressure as they prepare to face an in-form Liverpool at Molineux this Saturday.
After a disappointing start to the Premier League season, Wolves are still searching for their first league win, with only one point from five games.
Injuries to key players such as Yerson Mosquera and Sasa Kalajdzic have further hindered their progress.
On the other hand, Liverpool have bounced back from an early setback and are now on a three-game winning streak, including a 5-1 thrashing of West Ham in the EFL Cup.

It has been a tough start to the season for Wolves, with just one point from five games, leaving them at the bottom of the Premier League table.
The pressure is mounting on Gary O’Neil’s side, and a clash against title-challenging Liverpool couldn’t come at a more challenging time.
Wolves’ recent form suggests they are struggling to find the right balance between attack and defense, with the team conceding goals while managing to score in most matches.
Injuries have only compounded Wolves’ problems. Yerson Mosquera, a crucial part of their defense, and striker Sasa Kalajdzic are both sidelined, weakening the team’s ability to compete effectively against stronger opposition. Wolves have been leaking goals at the back, which doesn’t bode well as they face Liverpool’s dynamic attacking unit.
While Wolves have managed to score in six of their seven competitive matches this season, their defensive record has been alarming. They conceded three goals against Aston Villa last weekend and two goals to Brighton in the EFL Cup. If Wolves are to stand any chance of pulling off an upset, they’ll need to tighten up their backline and take their chances in front of goal.
After a shock defeat at home to Nottingham Forest earlier in the season, Liverpool have responded in emphatic fashion, winning their next three matches across all competitions.
Arne Slot’s side has been in fine form, with the team netting three or more goals in four of their last five games. Their midweek 5-1 demolition of West Ham in the EFL Cup further highlighted the Reds’ attacking prowess.
Liverpool’s attack has been spearheaded by the likes of Mohamed Salah, Darwin Nunez, and Luis Diaz, who have all contributed to their goal-scoring spree.
With Harvey Elliott missing due to injury, Liverpool have also been able to rely on their depth, with players like Ryan Gravenberch and Alexis Mac Allister stepping up when needed.
Despite their dominance in attack, Liverpool have been far from invincible defensively. They’ve only managed to keep one clean sheet in their last four matches, suggesting that Wolves may have opportunities to find the net. However, Liverpool’s ability to score multiple goals consistently has seen them through these minor defensive lapses.

Prediction: Wolves 1-3 Liverpool
Given the form of both sides, it’s difficult to look past a comfortable win for Liverpool. Wolves’ defensive vulnerabilities, combined with Liverpool’s attacking depth, make it likely that the Reds will secure all three points. While Wolves have managed to score in most of their matches this season, their leaky defense will struggle to contain the likes of Salah and Nunez.
Jambobet Correct Score Prediction: 3-1 in favor of Liverpool
Liverpool have scored three or more goals in four of their last five matches, and with Wolves’ recent defensive struggles, it seems likely they’ll repeat that feat. However, with Wolves’ ability to score, especially at home, backing both teams to score is a smart bet.
Key Stats to Consider
- Wolves have only failed to score in one of their seven competitive matches this season, highlighting their attacking capability despite their poor results.
- Liverpool have scored three or more goals in four of their last five matches across all competitions, showcasing their firepower in front of goal.
- Both teams have scored in five of Wolves’ last six outings, indicating a tendency for high-scoring games involving Wolves.
- Liverpool have kept just one clean sheet in their last four games, leaving the door open for Wolves to grab a consolation goal.
Betting Tips
1. Both Teams to Score – Yes (BTTS)
Wolves may be struggling this season, but they’ve consistently found the net, even in tough matches. With Liverpool not being as solid defensively, this bet is backed by Wolves’ record of scoring in six of their seven matches this season. Odds for both teams to score are favorable, given the likelihood of goals on both sides.
2. Over 2.5 Goals
With Liverpool’s attack in great form and Wolves’ defense looking fragile, backing over 2.5 goals in this game seems like a solid option. Liverpool have seen over 2.5 goals in four of their last five outings, and with Wolves’ porous defense, this bet has a strong chance of landing.
3. Liverpool to Win 3-1
Given Liverpool’s scoring form and Wolves’ defensive struggles, a 3-1 win for the Reds looks like a realistic prediction. Liverpool have scored three or more goals in their recent matches, and Wolves’ inability to keep teams out suggests they’ll concede multiple times.
