Liverpool vs Wolves Prediction, H2H Stats & Statistical Bets 27 December 2025
🔊 Can Liverpool handle the Premier League's bottom team? In the 18th round, Arne Slot's resurgent squad will face Wolverhampton, who seem mentally prepared for a journey to the Championship. The match will take place at Anfield, and bookmakers see little room for surprise. We will conduct a detailed analysis to either agree with them or present arguments in favor of the Wolves. Read on to discover Scores24's prediction.
Head-to-Head
📊 Wolverhampton are a particularly favorable opponent for Liverpool. The Wolves have been defeated by the Reds in 14 of their last 15 Premier League encounters. In their past eight visits to Anfield, they have managed to secure just one point. In only one of those matches have the hosts scored fewer than two goals.
Head-to-head statistics Liverpool - Wolves
Liverpool Team Overview
After a disastrous 4-1 defeat against PSV, Liverpool have regrouped and are now unbeaten in six consecutive matches. Their winning streak stands at three games, kicking off in Milan where the Reds edged past Inter with a pragmatic 1-0 victory.
Their most recent triumph came last weekend. Arne Slot's side defeated Tottenham 2-1, with goals from both number nines-Alexander Isak and Hugo Ekitike. However, their opponents were reduced to ten men in the first half and ended the match with just nine, yet even this numerical advantage didn't prevent the Merseysiders from securing three points. In the closing stages, they struggled to maintain possession and resorted to clearing the ball, resulting in chaos-a fact the head coach acknowledged during the press conference.

Wolverhampton Wanderers Team Overview
With each passing match, Wolverhampton's chances of survival dwindle, and to be completely honest, they seem nonexistent. The team has only managed to secure two points after 17 rounds, matching the all-time low in the history of English professional football. It's a scenario that couldn't be worse.
In the last round, Rob Edwards' side had the opportunity to extend their scoring streak to three matches, but Jørgen Strand Larsen missed a penalty in the 88th minute. However, even a goal from the striker would likely not have spared the Wolves from defeat, as they were already trailing Brentford 2-0 by that point. The match ended with that scoreline. Excluding the penalty, Wolverhampton managed only 0.44 expected goals.

Latest news
Liverpool
🎙 "It's a great feeling to beat Tottenham away. It's always tough at this stadium, and they were a strong opponent. The Spurs lost last week, so they were eager to bounce back in front of their fans today. It was crucial for us to win because our recent results haven't been up to par. We achieved what we set out to do," said Arne Slot after the match against Tottenham.
❌ Injuries are one of Liverpool's main challenges. Stefan Bajcetic, Wataru Endo, Joe Gomez, Giovanni Leone, and Cody Gakpo are all sidelined. Gakpo might recover in time for the game against the Wolves, but starting him seems unlikely. Additionally, Conor Bradley, who was substituted during the last game, is dealing with health issues, and Alexander Isak has suffered a fibula fracture, ruling him out for several months. But that's not all. Mohamed Salah is away for the Africa Cup of Nations, and Dominik Szoboszlai is suspended due to an accumulation of yellow cards.
Wolverhampton Wanderers
🎙 Recently, Wolves veteran Matt Doherty gave an emotional interview. Here's one of his quotes: "Do we want to be remembered for fighting until the end of the season, or for being cowards who took the easy way out? Maybe tried to leave in January or stopped fighting and training, allowing others to take our place? We need to look in the mirror and decide how we want to be remembered at the club," said the 33-year-old Irishman.
❌ Wolves are also dealing with a significant number of injuries. Toti Gomes, Jean-Ricner Bellegarde, Marshall Munetsi, Daniel Bentley, Rodrigo Gomes, and Hugo Bueno are all sidelined. Additionally, Emmanuel Agbadou and Tawanda Chivera have joined their national teams. The defensive situation is particularly challenging, with only Yerson Mosquera available from the trio of main central defenders.
🟨 Referee and Yellow Cards
Simon Hooper will officiate the upcoming match. He is currently the strictest referee in the Premier League, averaging 4.8 cautions per game this season. In 15 of his last 17 matches, the Englishman has shown at least four yellow cards, and a similar pattern is evident in 9 of Wolverhampton's last 10 Premier League games. Therefore, the obvious choice is over 3.5 yellow cards.
⚽️ Goal Prediction
Liverpool struggle to score heavily, while Wolverhampton struggle to score at all. That's the situation in a nutshell. We seriously doubt this encounter will turn into a goal fest-there's no indication of that happening. Thus, a logical bet seems to be on under 3.5 goals, which has come through in 9 of Liverpool's last 10 matches and an impressive 17 of Wolverhampton's previous 18 outings.
🚩 Corner Prediction
Wolverhampton have won fewer than 3.5 corners away in their last five head-to-head meetings against Liverpool and for eight consecutive rounds. Given the current state of the Wolves, expecting a change in this trend seems far-fetched.
Editorial Prediction
No matter what challenges Liverpool are facing at the moment, Wolverhampton's situation is significantly worse. Even in their better days, the Wolves rarely managed to take points from the Reds, so it's hard to believe they will do so now. Arne Slot has managed to stabilize the situation, but fans are still waiting for a truly convincing performance and victory. Perhaps this will finally be the game where it happens. Our editorial team certainly thinks so, predicting a Liverpool win with a -1.5 handicap, anticipating a final score of 2-0 at Anfield.
