Wolves – Liverpool | 15/03/2021

Liverpool will be looking to get their Premier League top-four hopes back on track when they face Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux on Monday night. The champions have plummeted down to eighth in the table courtesy of a dreadful run of form since the turn of the year, now sitting just eight points clear of their opponents following a recent improvement from Wolves.

Wolverhampton Wanderers’ recent Premier League (PL) 0-0 draw with Aston Villa deepened their reputation for ponderous attacking without Raúl Jiménez leading the line. Only Sheffield United have drawn more first-half blanks than Wolves (21), while their win here over Leeds United (Feb 19) came after they’d scored the opener for the first time in nine home PL matches.

Impressively, Wolves are unbeaten when scoring the match opener at home this season (W3, D1). Witnessing three penalties across their last four home league games, a notable eight (53.33%) of Wolves’ 15 league strikes here this term have come via set pieces or spot kicks.

Liverpool’s midweek win over RB Leipzig was a huge confidence booster, but they’ve got their work cut out to finish in the top four. While they’ll aim to capitalise on Wolves’ tendency to start slowly, it’s worth noting that the ‘Reds’ have only scored seven (28%) of their league away goals this term before the break, and their last three PL away fixtures have all stood goalless at HT.

With Anfield turning from a fortress to a sandcastle this year, an away day might suit Liverpool, as each of their last four league wins have come on the road, via an average margin of 3.25 goals. Additionally, Liverpool have never lost a PL match at Molineux (W4, D2), and you would have to go back to August 1981 for the Reds’ last league defeat on this ground.

Date: 15/03/2021
Time: 23:00
Venue: Molineux Stadium (Wolverhampton)
Pick for this match:
“Both teams to score YES” – @ 1.95 ( Betwinner )
