Wolves vs Liverpool Gameweek 5 Match Preview
Wolves and Liverpool are set to clash in an intriguing battle at Molineux Stadium. Liverpool has a significant edge in their head-to-head record, securing victory in 13 out of 18 encounters.
While Wolves have caused the occasional upset with four wins and one draw, this season hasn’t been favorable for them as they currently sit in 15th place with just one win.

According to win probabilities, Liverpool is the clear favorite with a 67% chance of winning, while Wolves have a 14% chance of causing an upset. A draw appears somewhat more likely at 19%.
