Wolves v Liverpool Betting Tips: Put your faith in Slot!

Arne Slot and his Liverpool team travel to Molineux for Saturday evening’s game in blistering form having picked up 4 wins from their opening 5 PL matches propelling them to 2nd in the table. The Reds have conceded just 1 goal in the PL so far, scoring 10 in the process and have shown no signs at all of a hangover from Klopp’s departure in the summer.

Wolves on the other hand couldn’t be in any more contrasting form, with just 1 draw from their 5 games so far. Gary O’Neil’s men have lost both games at Molineux so far, and have the joint-worst defence along with fellow strugglers Everton. They have conceded 14 goals and are currently propping up the table down in 20th place.

Breaking point already for O’Neil?

Having made their worst-ever start to a Premier League season, there is mounting pressure on head coach O’Neil and I expect it to be a very tense atmosphere during the match. A post-match press conference after only the 2nd game showed a certain sense of frustration with the board. This came shortly after the Neto transfer to Chelsea became apparent and following the loss of Kilman to West Ham.

With 8 goals conceded in just 2 games in front of their own fans, including 6 against Chelsea, I fear the writing could be on the wall for O’Neil if they fall behind in this clash, with fans potentially turning on the manager given their disastrous start to the campaign.

Liverpool ready to hunt down the Wolves

I feel this pressure and tension could then filter its way onto the players' performance on the pitch and is something I’m sure Slot and Liverpool will be acutely aware of. Liverpool have clicked into gear right from the opening day of the season with their only defeat of the campaign, a 1-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest, proving to be a mere bump in the road for Slot since taking charge.

The Reds have been strong at both ends of the pitch, with 4 clean sheets out of 5. With the likes of Mo Salah, Luis Diaz and Darwen Nunez now hitting their stride, their free-scoring football should be too much for Wolves to cope with in my opinion.

Liverpool are a well-oiled machine

Built on solid foundations in defence, blessed with creativity and flair in midfield and razor sharpness up front, Liverpool look like they are going to be genuine title challengers this season. Led by captain Virgil Van Dijk who is back close to his imperious best, defensively Liverpool have looked extremely organised and disciplined and have the best record so far in the PL.

Further up the pitch, The Reds possess an array of attacking and creative talent with Alexis MacAllister and Dominic Szoboszlai pulling the strings in midfield which has allowed Salah and top scorer Diaz (5 goals) to notch the goals in attack. With an average of 60% possession in their 5 PL games, I see Liverpool dominating the ball once again and ultimately being able to pick Wolves off with the superiority they have all across the pitch in each position.

Expect a Liverpool win but where is the value?

With the number of clean sheets so far, the ’To win to nil’ market has some appeal with Liverpool a best price of 9/5 with WilliamHill. However, Wolves have managed to score 3 goals in their 2 home matches this term, including 2 against Chelsea and on the counter there could be chances for impressive finisher Cunha to find the net.

Liverpool and under 4.5 goals at 20/23 with BoyleSports

It looks difficult to see anything but a Liverpool win and given their mean defence the Match Result and Over/Under 4.5 goals market I feel is where the smartest money lies. Liverpool and under 4.5 goals is best priced at 20/23 with BoyleSports and looks an excellent price upgrade on the Liverpool win which is 4/11 generally.

All 4 times The Reds have won this campaign, they have done so without conceding a goal, with two 2-0 and two 3-0 results and I expect this pattern to continue against a beleaguered Wolves side come full-time on Saturday evening.
