Liverpool vs Wolves prediction: ENGLAND: Premier League betting tips on match 2025-02-15 14:00.
[p]Liverpool will be glad to return home after a forgettable few days on the road that firstly saw them exit the FA Cup to Championship strugglers Plymouth Argyle, before seeing the three points snatched away from them when conceding in the 98th minute to draw the last ever Merseyside Derby at Goodison Park 2-2. That was Liverpool’s game-in-hand over their title-chasing rivals, and now they know where they stand in the title race as they head into the weekend seven-points better off than closest contenders Arsenal.[/p]
[p]The Anfield faithful will be hoping that’s an unassailable lead with just 14 Premier League games to go, and the Kop will be expecting a response since Liverpool are yet to go three successive games without victory under Arne Slot. Their scoring prowess at Anfield alone should position the Reds for a win here, since they have scored 2+ goals in each of their last 16 home games in all competitions (W14, D2). [/p]
[p]Wolverhampton Wanderers will be the ones trying to take advantage of Liverpool’s recent relative slump, and they will have a bit of confidence in their camp after winning their last league game and their most recent FA Cup tie, both 2-0 against Aston Villa and Blackburn respectively. Four losses in the league did precede those two wins though, leaving Wolves in the precarious position of 17th place and just two points above the relegation zone prior to the round. [/p]
[p]Travelling to whoever the league leader is at the time is also a bad omen for the visitors, who have lost all seven Premier League away games against sides starting the day top of the standings. A tie with Liverpool only serves to compound those concerns, as they’ve lost no less than 15 of their last 16 top-flight meetings with the red half of Merseyside (W1).[/p]
[p]Key battle: Liverpool shot stopper Alisson has been key to his side’s success over Wolves, conceding just seven goals en route to keeping seven clean sheets in his 12 league H2Hs. Attempting to breach his goal will be fellow Brazilian João Gomes, who may fancy his chances of scoring after his strike at Blackburn meant eight of his last nine goals have come away from home. [/p]
[p]Hot stat: Only two of Liverpool’s last ten Premier League games have been scoreless in the opening 30 minutes. [/p]
