Liverpool vs Wolverhampton Prediction: the Hosts Are About to Be Back on the Winning Track

In the 25th round of the English Championship, Liverpool will be playing Wolverhampton at home. The match will kick off on 16 February at 5 p.m. Will the visitors be able to go head-to-head with the Premier League leaders? Telecomasia is offering a prediction for the match, as well as important statistics.

Liverpool

Liverpool had a bit of a shocker in the fourth round of the FA Cup – not the result they wanted. Their team, led by Arne Slot, went to play Plymouth, conceded a goal and didn't manage to get a shot on target. The end result was a 0:1 defeat, which meant they were out of the Cup. Earlier, the Reds had reached the final of another English tournament, the League Cup. In the return semifinal match at home, Slot's team scored four unanswered goals against Tottenham. In the middle of this week, Liverpool played away in the Merseyside derby with Everton, which was postponed from the 15th round. Slot's team was close to another victory in the current EPL campaign, but conceded the decisive goal in extra time, resulting in a 2:2 draw. Before the start of the 25th round, Liverpool had 57 points, were top of the standings and seven points ahead of Arsenal. Liverpool also had a much better goal difference of +35.

Wolverhampton

The Wolves did better last week in the fourth round of the FA Cup. In this stage of the tournament, their opponent was Championship Blackburn Rovers. At home, the Wolves scored two unanswered goals, and the club honoured Gomes and Cunha – within one minute in the first half.

Their last opponents in the English Championship were Aston Villa. The Wolves looked stronger than their tired opponents, who had just held the most important match for qualification to the last 16 of the Champions League. At home, the Wolves were stronger than Birmingham with a score of 2:0. Before the start of the 25th round, the team managed to get out of the relegation zone (17th line in the standings and 19 points). At the moment, they've got a goal difference of -18.
