Wolverhampton vs. Liverpool: Preview and betting tips

Tuesday night’s football will offer a rematch of the third round of the English FA Cup. Wolves won the chance to surprise Liverpool at home with a 2-2 draw at Anfield. What to expect from the match and what to bet on?

Wolves have picked themselves up under new coach Julen Lopetegui, losing only one of their last five games and jumping from last place to 16th. However, they are still just two points off last-placed Southampton.

Liverpool, on the other hand, are floundering. Without the injured van Dijk, they have lost their last two league games, conceding three goals in both. They have dropped to 9th place and are already seven points behind the top 4. In addition, they play Chelsea in a week.

Key Wolves figures

The master of key moments for Wolves is Daniel Podence, the Portuguese speedster has hit five times and assisted once. The midfield director of the midfield and great long-range shooter Ruben Neves has opened the net on four occasions so far.

Liverpool’s key figures

Although Mohamed Salah’s current form is not ideal, his season record of 17+6 is still impressive. A lot is expected from winter signing Cody Gakpe, he has scored 13 goals and assisted 17 in the last six months at Eindhoven.

Wolves have been struggling offensively, but that has been a long term problem. This year, with 12 shots, they have it clearly the worst in the competition, scoring more than once in only one of the last five games. In the league, they have only managed to do so twice since the start of the season.

Liverpool’s defence is failing again in van Dijk’s absence. 25 goals conceded is the most from the top half of the table after Fulham and Brentford, with 13 goals in six games after the World Cup through all competitions.

Considering the weak and unproductive home attack, I think Liverpool despite all the problems t can win in normal time. The reinforcement of Gakpo has the perfect opportunity to catch on.
