7M - Wolverhampton Set to Face Liverpool in FA Cup Showdown

Wolverhampton Wanderers will host Liverpool this Friday in an exciting FA Cup clash at Molineux Stadium, looking to secure a much-needed victory. As both teams are eager to add valuable points to their campaigns, this matchup promises to be a gripping contest.

Wolverhampton approaches the game with confidence, having averaged 2.1 goals per match over their last ten outings, netting a total of 21 goals while conceding just nine, which gives them an average of 0.9 goals against. They have also managed four clean sheets during this run.

Liverpool, on the other hand, has scored 26 goals while allowing ten, with five clean sheets in their last ten matches, showcasing their ability to both attack and defend effectively.

In their most recent meeting on January 17, 2023, Liverpool secured a narrow 1-0 victory at Molineux. Historically, Wolverhampton has a win rate of 33% against Liverpool, with the record reading 1-1-1 in their last three encounters.

Recent Form

Wolverhampton has two wins from their last three matches, including a 2-0 victory over Aston Villa. However, they also suffered a 1-0 defeat against Crystal Palace recently. They managed to win half of their previous six home FA Cup matches, with a total of 12 goals scored while conceding eight.

Liverpool has seen mixed results, winning twice in their last three matches. They recently defeated Nottingham Forest 1-0 and thrashed West Ham 5-2, but faced a setback with a 2-1 loss to Wolverhampton in their last encounter.

Team News

Wolverhampton may miss the services of Jackson Tchatchoua due to suspension, along with Yerson Mosquera and Enso Gonzalez, who are both unavailable for action.

For Liverpool, Alexis Mac Allister and Andrew Robertson will not make the trip due to accumulating too many penalty points. Mohamed Salah is also ruled out as he continues to recover from an injury.

Predictions

Given Liverpool's strong track record and scoring ability, they are expected to head back from Molineux with a victory. However, Wolverhampton will aim to avoid a heavy defeat on home turf. A combination of an away win with under 3.5 goals seems like a reasonable prediction for this encounter.
