– Liverpool have managed only two wins in their last seven games in all competitions
– Wolves have found the net in three of their last four matches
– Recommended bet: Both teams to score
Liverpool have played Wolves three times already in 2023 and the pair lock horns again in the Premier League at Anfield on Wednesday.
Each of the three meetings between the clubs this year have produced different results and their tussle on Merseyside looks a tough one to call.
Team news
Liverpool have had to deal with a lengthy injury list of late and will once again be without Luis Diaz (knee), Thiago Alcantara (hip), Calvin Ramsay (knee) and Joe Gomez (hamstring).
Darwin Nunez and Ibrahima Konate could feature after shoulder and hamstring injuries, respectively, but Arthur Melo is a doubt with a long-term thigh issue.
For Wolves, Sasa Kalajdzic (knee) and Chiquinho (knee) will again be absent, while Boubacar Traore (groin), Hwang Hee-chan (hamstring) and Matheus Cunha (knee) are doubts.
The stats
Both teams have scored in six of Liverpool’s 11 home matches in the Premier League this season.
Liverpool’s home matches in the Premier League this term have featured an average of 3.09 goals per game.
Wolves have managed to score in three of their last four Premier League fixtures, including striking three times in their home clash with Liverpool earlier in the month.
The Reds, meanwhile, have failed to score in only one of their 11 matches at Anfield in the Premier League this campaign.
Predictions
Liverpool’s most recent outing at Anfield was a high-octane 5-2 defeat to Real Madrid in the Champions League and, although the club’s upcoming clash with Wolves may not be quite as pulsating, it should be another entertaining affair nonetheless.
These sides met in the third round of the FA Cup in January, with the game at Anfield finishing 2-2 and the replay at Molineux won 1-0 by Liverpool.
But when they locked horns again at the start of February in the Premier League, it was Wolves who came out on top 3-0.
Liverpool were frustrated in a 0-0 draw away at Crystal Palace last time out in the Premier League but they hit the woodwork twice in that game and their matches at Anfield have typically been more open than those on their travels.
Wolves have managed to pull away from the relegation zone under Julen Lopetegui and can play with a little more freedom for now, especially as they know they have it in them to beat Jurgen Klopp’s side.
They have scored in three of their last four matches in the Premier League, netting against the Reds, Southampton and Fulham in February and this could be an end-to-end encounter.
January addition Cody Gakpo failed to make an impact for Liverpool in their matches with Real Madrid and Crystal Palace but he netted against Everton and Newcastle earlier in February and could be a worthwhile bet at 6/4 with LiveScore Bet to score in this contest.
Both teams have blown hot and cold since the start of the year, so punters are advised to swerve a result bet and look elsewhere.
