Over 2.5 goals
Goals have been a recurring theme when these two sides meet. Each of the last four head-to-head encounters between Wolves and Liverpool has ended in a 2-1 scoreline, clearing the 2.5 goal line.
Liverpool matches tend to be open, particularly in cup competitions where rotation and attacking approaches are common.
Wolves have also shown improved attacking form in recent weeks, scoring in four of their last five matches. Given the recent scoring patterns between the teams and their current form in front of goal, another match with at least three goals looks a strong possibility.
Bet explanation: This bet wins if there are at least three goals scored in the game between Wolves and Liverpool.
Both teams to score
The recent history of this fixture also strongly supports both teams getting on the scoresheet. Not only have the last four meetings ended 2-1, but Wolves’ attacking momentum has been building in recent weeks.
Their confidence will also be high after beating Liverpool just days ago in the league. With Wolves’ expected to be relegated, their focus will be to go deep in the FA Cup and hence will try to beat Liverpool again.
Meanwhile, Liverpool rarely struggle to create chances even when rotating their squad. With both sides showing attacking intent and defensive vulnerabilities in recent games, backing both teams to score offers solid value.
Tip: Both teams to score @ 7/10
Bet explanation: This bet wins if both Wolves and Liverpool score at least one goal.
Wolves to score
Wolves have demonstrated they can trouble Liverpool’s defence, having already scored twice against them earlier this week.
The hosts have found the net in four of their last five games, and playing at Molineux should further boost their chances of continuing that run. They even got on the scoresheet at Anfield this season and won’t be fazed by Liverpool.
The Reds are likely to dominate possession, but Wolves’ counter-attacking style has proven effective against them recently. With confidence high after their league victory, the home side should be capable of scoring once again.
Bet explanation: This bet wins if Wolves score at least one goal against Liverpool.
