A testing start to the season leaves Gary O’Neill with questions to ponder before the visit of Liverpool on Saturday. Wolverhampton currently sit bottom of the league standings, sporting the joint-worst goals against record of any side in the Premier League.
The Black Country club have conceded at least three goals in each of their last two domestic matches, with the latest of those seeing them squander a one-goal advantage before falling to a 3-1 away loss at Aston Villa.
A sign of their defensive issues to consider before making a Wolverhampton vs Liverpool prediction is the fact that they have an xGA of 7.46, which ranks among the worst in the Premier League.
| Recent Form (all competitions, most recent first) | L-L-L-D-W |
| Key Players to Watch | Matheus Cunha |
| Team Strengths | High-press does cause opposing teams problems |
| Team Weaknesses | Defensively vulnerable, especially in wide areas |
| Injuries and Suspensions | Toti Gomes (Hamstring) Boubacar Traore (Knee) Enso Gonzalez (ACL) |
Arne Slot’s Liverpool have responded professionally since suffering their first set back in the 2024-25 season. The Reds have bounced back since a shock loss at home against Nottingham Forest, winning each of their last two across all competitions.
A victory on Saturday evening could send them to the top of the Premier League for at least a few hours.
In contrast to Wolverhampton, Liverpool have been very difficult to break down defensively, especially from open play. They have an xGA of 0.74 from corners, and the Reds currently boast the best defensive record in the Premier League.
| Recent Form (all competitions, most recent first) | W-W-L-W-W |
| Key Players to Watch | Luis Diaz |
| Team Strengths | Hard to break down from set pieces, and excellent wide talent |
| Team Weaknesses | Can be vulnerable when the ball is turned over |
| Injuries and Suspensions | Alisson (Muscle) Harvey Elliot (Broken Foot) |
It is important to consider before making a Wolverhampton vs Liverpool prediction that the home side have won just once in the last 15 encounters between these sides. Liverpool have picked up wins in each of the last three Premier League meetings. That includes a 3-1 success in this exact fixture last term.
Mohamed Salah typically gains the plaudits for Liverpool, but the opening month of the season has been all about the performance levels of Luis Diaz.
The forward has netted five goals in five appearances across all competitions, and is registering an average of 3.13 shots per game.
Liverpool have been incredibly focused on a possession-based game since Slot’s arrival in the summer. Their 4-2-3-1 formation enables the Reds to keep control of the game, with Trent Alexander-Arnold advancing into a midfield role when his side have the ball.
Wolverhampton will once again look to sacrifice possession in favour of a counter-attacking approach on Saturday, just as they did against Aston Villa on Saturday. Therefore, we could see them dropping into five at the back when they don’t have possession at Molineux on Saturday.
The record of the Reds in this fixture is hard to dismiss when making a Wolverhampton vs Liverpool prediction.
Liverpool have enjoyed their visits to the Black Country in recent years, and they have netted at least twice in their last three matches against Wolverhampton. Judged by how both teams have started the season, a comfortable win for the visitors is likely.
The value in the scoring market could come in the form of Darwin Núñez this weekend. The forward opened his account for the season in excellent style against Bournemouth last weekend, and he averages 2.83 shots per game in the Premier League.
