Liverpool are involved in the race for a place in the Champions League, while Wolverhampton Wanderers are fighting to remain in the Premier League next season. It appears that the three points will go to the visitors.
Wolverhampton Wanderers
Aston Villa travelled to Molineux Stadium as favourites (odds around 1.75), but the expected superiority did not materialise: only 1.03-0.86 in xG and 14 shots to nine, and the scoreline actually favoured Wolverhampton Wanderers (0:2). For the hosts this was only their second win both this season and in 2026. However, in six home matches this year they have lost only twice. Even the league leaders Arsenal could not withstand their pressure and had to settle for a draw (2:2).
Liverpool
Does this mean Liverpool will not win here? Not necessarily. Last weekend they thrashed another relegation-zone side, West Ham United (5:2). Hugo Ekitike, the team’s top scorer this season with 16 goals, was particularly impressive, opening the scoring and providing two assists. The visitors have scored in 11 consecutive matches in all competitions, a run that has produced eight victories.
Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Liverpool Prediction
Wolverhampton Wanderers still need five more wins to climb out of the relegation zone, but with only two victories all season that looks unrealistic. Liverpool have won all six of the most recent head-to-head meetings with the hosts, although the last three have all been narrow wins (each 2:1). Therefore, backing the hosts with a +1.5 handicap looks reasonable.
