Liverpool vs Wolverhampton Wanderers Betting Analysis
Liverpool Facts to Know
Liverpool almost won every trophy available last season. They beat Chelsea in the EFL Cup and FA Cup finals and finished runners-up to Manchester City in the Premier League. The Reds also reached the 2022 UEFA Champions League final, narrowly losing to Real Madrid in Paris.
This season has been far different for the Reds. They beat Man City in the FA Community Shield matchup at the King Power Stadium in Leicester at the start of the season, but things went rapidly downhill for Liverpool.
They are out of both domestic cups, need a miracle in the Champions League and are a staggering 21 points behind leaders Arsenal in the Premier League.
Liverpool have been a shadow of their former selves this season, picking up just ten wins from 23 Premier League matches. They have already suffered seven defeats and conceded 28 goals.
The Merseyside giants have shown signs of life of late, however, collecting seven points from the last nine on offer. They beat both Everton and Newcastle 2-0 before drawing 0-0 with Crystal Palace in their last outing. Can they keep a fourth successive Premier League clean sheet on Wednesday?

Wolverhampton Wanderers Facts to Know
Wolverhampton Wanderers made a poor start to their 2022-23 campaign. Bruno Lage was sacked at Molineux after a 2-0 defeat at West Ham United in October. Lopetegui was brought to the club in November and took charge of his first league game on Boxing Day.
Overall, Lopetegui has picked up four big wins since taking over, with Wolves seeing off Everton, West Ham, Liverpool and Southampton. They have moved away from the bottom three but still have work to do in their battle for survival.
Wolves claimed back-to-back wins over Liverpool and Southampton before being brought back down to earth with a bump with a 1-0 reverse to Bournemouth in their last home match. They bounced back with a 1-1 draw with Fulham at Craven Cottage last Friday night.
Wolves sit 15th in the Premier League table at the time of writing. They have won six, drawn six and lost 12 of their opening 24 league games. The Midlands club are three points above 18th spot with 14 games to play.
Wolves eased past Liverpool when the two EPL teams clashed at Molineux a month back, with an own goal and strikes from Craig Dawson and Ruben Neves doing the business in an impressive 3-0 win. Wanderers also held Liverpool to a 2-2 FA Cup draw at Anfield in January. Can they upset the Merseyside giants once again?
Updates
Liverpool are set to be without several players for this important Premier League match. Ibrahima Konate, Luis Diaz, Thiago and Arthur Melo are out, while Darwin Nunez and Joe Gomez are doubtful.
Wolves’ Hwang Hee-chan, Sasa Kalajdzic, Boubacar Traore and Chiquinho will miss the trip to Anfield with injuries. Matheus Cunha remains a doubt with an ankle issue.
Liverpool vs Wolverhampton Wanderers Betting Preview
Liverpool have had a number of bad moments this season, and the 3-0 loss at Molineux in early February was right up there with the worst. They have played Wolves three times this term, and all three games have been tough going for the Merseysiders. Still, Klopp’s boys are the favorites on home soil at -200.
Wolves are a capable outfit these days under the experienced Lopetegui. They wiped the floor with the Reds a month ago, and you can get the tempting soccer betting odds of +500 for a Wanderers victory on Wednesday. The draw is priced at +375.
Liverpool vs Wolverhampton Wanderers Betting Prediction
After taking seven points from their last three games, Liverpool will be desperate to keep the momentum ticking with a win in front of their home fans in midweek. However, we are backing Wolves to frustrate the Reds at Anfield.
The visitors are good enough to return to Molineux with a point in the bag.
There is good value in +450 for the draw and under 2.5 goals.
