Premier League, Saturday, 09/28/2024 at 6:30 PM
This weekend’s Premier League Saturday night game is at the Molineux Stadium, where the Reds will be guests at Wolves.
At first glance, the matter seems clear: the hosts have had a terrible start to the new season, while the guests are back among the top teams.
Accordingly, my Wolverhampton Liverpool prediction is that LFC will have a clear advantage in terms of play. Maybe even a landslide victory.
I have to be honest. Before doing research for my Wolverhampton Liverpool prediction, I thought it would be tricky for the guests.
The narrative “Wolves are always nasty” was still haunting the back of my mind. That is, until I looked at the bare facts.
Not only are the home side one of six teams still waiting for their first win this season, they also have the weakest defense (14 goals conceded).
They also have a terrible record against the Reds. They have lost more Premier League games against them than any other opponent (16). Gross my ass.
On the other hand, new coach Arne Slot’s team have got off to an excellent start this season. Especially because their defense is rock solid.
The men from the Mersey have only conceded one goal so far. However, this came in the only defeat so far against Nottingham Forest.
And now they face a team against which they have kept a clean sheet in ten of the last 15 direct duels. Will it be different this time?
But even if the zero doesn’t stand at the back, I expect a dominant performance from the LFC. After all, they are traveling to the West Midlands with a lot of confidence.
Of their last 26 PL away games, they have only lost three (14D, 9D) and only twice have they not scored.
I’m not particularly superstitious. But the last time the Reds started a season with three away wins, they ended up winning the league (2019/20).
And in their last ten away games at Molineux, they have won seven times (2W, 1D). Good omens, then, according to Bet at Home.
The betting providers predict odds of around 2.50 if the guests win without conceding a goal.
One reason why I have so little confidence in Wolves is their insecurity despite taking the lead. They lost to both Newcastle and Aston Villa despite having an advantage.
A comeback win? That doesn’t sound so bad, at least according to the bookmakers at Betano, who predict odds of around 6.00 for this.
Another not-so-unlikely Wolverhampton Liverpool tip is a lead at half-time. No matter for which team.
Because in only three of the Wanderers’ last 14 home games did they go into the dressing rooms with a draw. If that is not the case again, a prediction of about 1.40 beckons.
The momentum is clearly with the guests. Be it because of the good form of Luis Diaz, who scored five times in the last four games and set up another goal.
Or is it the general cold-bloodedness that they show against Wolves. Especially since they are also in a frighteningly weak state. In any case, it won’t be as nasty as expected.
My Wolverhampton Liverpool tip is therefore: win for the Reds and Over 2.5 goals in the game!
