The Matchday 25 Premier League clash between Liverpool and Wolverhampton will take place on February 16 at Anfield. Liverpool vs. Wolverhampton: prediction and betting odds, statistics.
Liverpool
Arne Slot's team drew 2-2 with Everton on Wednesday. They could have won but conceded a goal in the 98th minute. This result ended their three-match winning streak in the league, where Liverpool defeated Brentford and Bournemouth away (both 2-0) and thrashed Ipswich at home 4-1. However, their unbeaten run in the Premier League has now extended to 20 matches (14 wins and 6 draws). The club remains at the top of the table, holding a seven-point lead over second-placed Arsenal.
- At least three goals have been scored in 8 of Liverpool's last 11 league games.
- Liverpool has scored at least two goals in their last nine home Premier League matches.
- Both teams have scored in 6 of Liverpool's last 8 home league games.
Predicted lineup for Liverpool (4-2-3-1)
Alisson Becker – Virgil van Dijk, Conor Bradley, Andrew Robertson, Ibrahima Konate – Alexis Mac Allister, Ryan Gravenberch – Dominik Szoboszlai, Cody Gakpo, Mohamed Salah – Luis Diaz.
Defender Joseph Gomez might miss the game due to injury. Midfielder Curtis Jones is suspended, and head coach Arne Slot will be in the stands due to a red card received in the Merseyside derby.
Wolverhampton
Vítor Pereira's team has not won in their last five league matches, suffering four defeats and one draw. They hosted Aston Villa and surprisingly won 2-0. This victory allowed them to exit the relegation zone, although they are just two points clear of the nearest relegation-threatened team. Notably, Wolverhampton has one of the leakiest defenses in the Premier League (only Southampton has conceded more).
- There has been only one draw in Wolverhampton's last 14 league matches (5 wins and 8 losses).
- At least one team has failed to score in 6 of Wolverhampton's last 8 league games.
- No more than three goals have been scored in 8 of Wolverhampton's last 10 league matches.
Predicted lineup for Wolverhampton (3-4-2-1)
Jose Sa – Matt Doherty, Tote Gomes, Emmanuel Agbadou – Rayan Ait-Nouri, Jean-Ricner Bellegarde, Andre, Nelson Semedo – Matheus Cunha, Pablo Sarabia – Goncalo Guedes.
Forwards Sasa Kalajdzic and Enzo Gonzalez, along with defender Yerson Mosquera, are sidelined due to injuries.

Liverpool vs. Wolverhampton: Match Prediction
Liverpool has an excellent record against this opponent. In the last 16 league encounters, Liverpool has won 15 times, losing only once. However, they have only managed to beat Wolverhampton by a large margin in 3 of their last 17 Premier League meetings. Meanwhile, at Anfield, the visitors have not lost by three or more goals in 7 of their last 8 league encounters.
Additionally, Liverpool has not won by a large margin in 15 of their last 17 home league games. Wolverhampton, on the other hand, has not lost by three or more goals in 11 of their last 13 away Premier League matches. I predict that the visitors are unlikely to gain points against the current league leaders, but they are also unlikely to suffer a heavy defeat. My prediction: Wolverhampton with a handicap (+2.5)
