Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Liverpool prediction, odds & betting tips 03/03/2026

Liverpool's quest to finish in the Premier League‘s Champions League spots continues on Tuesday, when they take on Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux Stadium.

Following their 5-2 triumph against West Ham United at Anfield on Saturday, Liverpool moved into fifth place, and their points tally of 48 dwarfs 20th-placed Wolves' 13 points.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Liverpool prediction: Both teams improving

Key stats

• Liverpool have scored at least two goals in six of their nine most recent matches.
• Wolves have failed to score in five of their past eight games.
• The visitors have kept as many clean sheets in their last four fixtures (three) as they had in their prior eight outings.

Correct score prediction: Wolverhampton Wanderers 1-3 Liverpool

Wolves' performances of late have significantly improved, but they have failed to prove all season that they can consistently create the chances needed to threaten teams in the Premier League.

While Liverpool can still improve in a number of areas, there is no doubting that the team have started to win when it matters most, and there is little reason to think that the hosts can cause an upset.

Wolverhampton Wanderers preview: Beating history

Wolves are cut adrift at the bottom of the table, with the club 14 points from safety, but their 2-0 win against Aston Villa on Friday ensured that they beat Derby County's infamous record of 11 points, the fewest a team has ever accumulated in the history of the competition.

Midfielder Andre was forced off against Villa due to injury, and his potential absence may lead to starts for Angel Gomes and Joao Gomes in a double pivot.

Predicted lineup: Sa (GK), Mosquera, S Bueno, T Gomes, Tchatchoua, A Gomes, J Gomes, H Bueno, Bellegarde, Mane & Armstrong

Last five results:

• 27/02/26: Wolverhampton Wanderers 2-0 Aston Villa (Premier League)
• 22/02/26: Crystal Palace 1-0 Wolverhampton Wanderers (Premier League)
• 18/02/26: Wolverhampton Wanderers 2-2 Arsenal (Premier League)
• 15/02/26: Grimsby Town 0-1 Wolverhampton Wanderers (FA Cup)
• 11/02/26: Nottingham Forest 0-0 Wolverhampton Wanderers (Premier League)

Liverpool preview: Favourites for the Champions League?

Liverpool are competing with Aston Villa, Manchester United and Chelsea for a place in the top five, and while there will be twists and turns before the end of the season, they have won six of their last seven matches in all competitions.

Florian Wirtz is struggling with a back injury, and boss Arne Slot has indicated that Tuesday will come too soon for the German, so expect Dominik Szoboszlai to play as a number 10.

Predicted lineup: Alisson (GK), Frimpong, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson, Gravenberch, Mac Allister, Gakpo, Szoboszlai, Salah & Ekitike

Last five results:

• 28/02/26: Liverpool 5-2 West Ham United (Premier League)
• 22/02/26: Nottingham Forest 0-1 Liverpool (Premier League)
• 14/02/26: Liverpool 3-0 Brighton & Hove Albion (FA Cup)
• 11/02/26: Sunderland 0-1 Liverpool (Premier League)
• 08/02/26: Liverpool 1-2 Manchester City (Premier League)

Player to watch: Mohamed Salah

Liverpool veteran Mohamed Salah came in for significant criticism after his performance against West Ham on Saturday, with the forward having failed to score in 10 consecutive Premier League games.

Salah has still been a creative influence for the Reds, but the longer his drought continues in front of goal, the more his place in the starting XI will be questioned.
