Wolves vs Liverpool prediction: ENGLAND: Premier League betting tips on match 2024-09-27 16:30.
[p]Wolves will begin matchday six as one of the six Premier League teams yet to win this campaign, the most seen in English top-flight history after five games. What’s worse for Gary O’Neil’s men is they enter the round at the very foot of the table having secured just one point thus far (D1, L4), with the main source of their problems coming in defence, as they’ve conceded a joint-league high 14 goals prior to the weekend.[/p]
[p]This is nothing new to those inside Molineux, considering their side’s defensive woes predate this season as no current Premier League side is on a longer run of top-flight games without a clean sheet than Wolves’ 17. O’Neil will be fearing his team could be easy prey against an in-form Liverpool, against whom Wolves have lost 14 of the last 15 league H2Hs (W1). [/p]
[p]Liverpool have been dominant in those encounters too, preventing their hosts from scoring in ten of those matches. Their confidence to secure all three points while keeping another clean sheet should be sky high given that Arne Slot’s men have the best defensive record in the league this term with just a single goal conceded, though that came in their sole defeat against Nottingham Forest.  [/p]
[p]Hitting the road won’t dent the Reds’ confidence one bit either having lost just three of their last 26 Premier League away games (W14, D9), scoring in all but two of those fixtures. This time around more eyes might be on who gets the assist rather than the goal, with their full-backs Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andrew Robertson once again tied on 59 assists – more than any other defenders in Premier League history.[/p]
[p]Players to watch: Jørgen Strand Larsen has yet to get himself going at Wolves, but the prospect of goals here could spur him on since he’s netted the third goal of the game in four of his last six scoring outings. Attempting to outdo him will be former Wolves forward Diogo Jota, who the Molineux faithful will be praying doesn’t get on the scoresheet as he’s never lost any of the 47 Premier League games he’s scored in (W40, D7).[/p]
[p]Hot stat: Only three of Wolves’ last 14 home matches have been level at half-time.[/p]
