Liverpool vs Wolves Prediction

• Mohamed Salah Over 2.5 Shots On Target (+195 LeoVegas)
• Wolves Over 0.5 Goals (-121 Pinnacle)

Liverpool have the perfect opportunity to strike back after their late Merseyside Derby disappointment in their Premier League clash against Wolves on Sunday (9am ET, Fubo).

The Reds were denied victory by James Tarkowski’s late equaliser, preventing them from extending their lead at the top of the EPL ladder to nine points. Tensions then boiled over at the full-time whistle, resulting in red cards for both Curtis Jones and coacjh Arne Slot.

Liverpool are still in a dominant position in the race for the title with betting sites making them odds-on to lift the EPL crown, but there’s still work to be done. 

Wolves have shown life under head coach Vitor Pereira in recent weeks, beating Aston Villa 2-0 at home before overcoming Blackburn Rovers in the fourth round of the FA Cup.

The midlands outfit are still embroiled in a battle to remain in the EPL, which looks all but certain to be three out of the current bottom four.

Soccer betting sites are not optimistic about their chances of getting a positive result at Anfield at odds of +1200 to pull off an upset, while the hosts are a best price -550 to earn a valuable three points in their title quest.

Liverpool vs Wolves Picks: Salah To Threaten Pereira’s Men

Mohamed Salah scored for the fifth game in a row when he found the net against Everton on Wednesday. If this season is to be his Liverpool swansong, the forward is certainly bowing out on the highest of notes, taking his tally to 22 EPL goals with his effort at Goodison Park.

No team has managed to find a way of slowing down the Egyptian since his Liverpool debut in 2017. Salah has 10 goal involvements in 13 appearances against Wolves, scoring five times, including a decisive strike in their meeting at Molineux earlier this season. 

We’re not expecting much resistance from a Wolves side that has kept just one clean sheet on their travels this season. 

The only aspect we’re considering on new betting sites is the damage Salah is going to inflict. Salah has scored multiple goals in an EPL game on four occasions this term, although none of these have come on home soil.

But, he has recorded multiple shots on target on 13 occasions, including five at Anfield. The value for two shots on target at -147 is not good enough for us, but adding an extra effort on target gets a price of +195.

Liverpool vs Wolves Picks: Visitors To Cause A Stir

Wolves have been criticised in the past for being a defensive team, but not this season. They’ve only failed to score in three road games in the EPL, being shut out by Arsenal, Everton and Newcastle in their 12 away matches.

Matheus Cunha is a threat on his own, scoring in his last two. The 25-year-old has notched 12 goals over the course of the season and has plenty of admirers, including the Reds, watching his performances with great interest.

He could give their title ambitions a scare, especially since Liverpool have not been tight at the back of late. 

They’ve kept only one clean sheet in their last five at home. Betting apps have a price of -121 for Wolves to score at least one goal at Anfield, which we feel is a solid option.
