Wolverhampton – Liverpool: Reds can’t afford to slip up 
In the thick of the fight for a Champions League spot, Liverpool roll into Molineux on Tuesday with one clear aim: don’t get caught out. Fifth on the table (48 points) after that 5-2 win over West Ham on Saturday, Arne Slot’s side face the league’s bottom club. On paper it’s a mismatch — except Wolves just nicked Aston Villa 2-0 on Friday.
Wolves off the leash 
Let’s be blunt: nobody saw Rob Edwards’ side dropping Villa. It was only their second league win of the season. Still, Wolves have a weird trick up their sleeve — they’ve already taken points off three of the current top four.
With a meagre 13 points, they’ve at least avoided rewriting Derby County’s miserable record from 2007-08 (11 points). Survival feels like a long shot, but they’re not rolling over. In their last 11 matches they’ve lost four, drawn five and won two. Molineux isn’t a fortress, but it’s where they scrape most of their points (8 from the last 18). The main worry? Their attack has been shut out in five of the last eight games.
Liverpool running on set pieces 
That 5-2 scoreline looks flashy, but the performance raised eyebrows. West Ham matched them for possession (51% at Anfield) and created as many clear chances.
So what’s Liverpool’s cheat code right now? Set pieces. Slot’s found the formula — the Reds have a new Premier League record: seven straight goals from set plays (excluding penalties). After three clean sheets in a row the defence did concede twice at the weekend, but the attack’s firing — they’ve scored at least twice in six of their last nine outings.
On the road, Mo Salah’s teammates travel well: one loss in their last 10 away games, with six wins. They’ve won four on the trot and history favours them — six straight wins against Wolves — though the last three were tight 2-1 affairs (like the December 2025 meeting).
Probable lineups
Wolverhampton Wanderers : Sa ; Mosquera, S Bueno, T Gomes ; Tchatchoua, A Gomes, J Gomes, H Bueno ; Bellegarde, Mane ; Armstrong
Liverpool : Alisson ; Frimpong, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson ; Gravenberch, Mac Allister ; Gakpo, Szoboszlai, Salah ; Ekitike
Football tip Wolverhampton vs Liverpool
Liverpool to win
Wolves are playing with nothing to lose, and that makes them a real thorn in single-match bets.
Liverpool, though, have plenty on the line. In the mad scramble for a Champions League spot, dropping points at the bottom would be embarrassing. Their football hasn’t been immaculate lately, but the momentum is strong. It won’t be a stroll at Molineux, but Liverpool’s pragmatism and sheer quality should see them through.

First, a word on our predictions
- What we publish on Mathodds is analysis, nothing more. We give an opinion, a snapshot of the current picture, never a guarantee. Sport is unpredictable. A red card, an injury, a freak goal… and the story changes.
- Let’s be clear: there’s no such thing as a risk-free bet. Even when something looks “obvious”, it still can go wrong. Yes, you can lose. It’s inevitable at some point.
- Be sensible. Bet small, set a budget and stick to it. Don’t touch money you need to live on. And don’t chase losses — it rarely ends well.
- Betting should stay a hobby, not a job or an income stream. If it’s taking over your life, making you anxious or stressed, take a break. If needed, speak to a specialist organisation. That’s what they’re there for.
- Ultimately, responsibility sits with you. Reading our content means you accept the risk exists and it won’t disappear, even with the best analysis.
- Important reminder: betting is banned for minors and must follow your country’s laws. Gambling can spiral (financial losses, family tension, addiction). Need Help? Call 1-800-GAMBLER. In the UK? Visit https://www.gambleaware.org/https://www.gambleaware.org/.
