PREMIER LEAGUE THURSDAY: We preview Thursday’s Premier League game between WOLVES v LIVERPOOL with a recommended BETDAQ bet and extended match stats for each game.
WOLVES V LIVERPOOL
8pm It’s been a drama filled week in the Premier League already and we finish it off with Wolves hosting Premier League leaders Liverpool. We had plenty of drama when the sides last met at Anfield, and Wolves rightly felt like they were very unlucky that evening especially with a VAR decision. The reality is though that Liverpool have been excellent this season, and it’s hard to see them losing a game at the moment.
The match odds at the time of writing currently trade; Wolves 6.0, Liverpool 1.71 and the draw is 4.0. Liverpool have an excellent long-term record against Wolves, but to be honest looking at their form this season it’s hard to see any team betting them! They have made Anfield a fortress in the last two years and their counter-attacking away from home has been superb.
Should Liverpool win or draw this game, they will become only the fifth team in the history of English league football to go 40+ games unbeaten. Liverpool will definitely break records this record. Wolves should make this reasonably tough for Liverpool, however the 1.71 on an away win is too big to enough. That price looks at least ten ticks too big and we have to be on the Champions Elect here at the odds.
BETDAQ BEST BET:
Liverpool to beat Wolves at 1.71.

MATCH STATS
- Wolves have lost each of their last six Premier League meetings with Liverpool, scoring just one goal in that run, since a 1-0 win at Anfield in December 2010.
- Liverpool haven’t lost away against Wolves in league competition since August 1981. They’ve won three and drawn three of their six visits to Molineux since, keeping a clean sheet in each of the last four.
- This will be Wolves’ first ever Premier League game on a Thursday. Meanwhile, Liverpool have won just 25% of their Premier League games on this day (2/8), their lowest win rate on a specific day in the competition’s history.
- Wolves are unbeaten in their last seven home evening kick-offs in the Premier League (7pm or later), winning five and drawing two since a 0-2 loss against Crystal Palace last January.
- Liverpool have won each of their last eight evening kick-offs in the Premier League (7pm or later), scoring 31 goals in these games and conceding just six in return.
- Should they remain unbeaten in this game, Liverpool will be only the fifth team in the history of the English Football League to go 40+ league games undefeated, after Nottingham Forest (42, 1977-78), Arsenal (49, 2003-04), Chelsea (40, 2004-05) and Huddersfield Town (43, 2011).
- Wolves have won 18 points from losing positions in the Premier League this season, seven more than any other team. They are one of only nine teams to have come from 2+ goals behind to win in more than one Premier League game in a season, and the first since Man Utd in 2017-18.
- Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah has been directly involved in 88 goals in 93 Premier League appearances for the Reds (65 goals, 23 assists) – the Egyptian scored and assisted in Liverpool’s 2-0 win over Wolves at Molineux last season.
- Wolves duo Adama Traoré and Raúl Jiménez have combined for seven Premier League goals this season, more than any other partnership. Traoré has registered six assists this season, twice the amount he managed in his previous three Premier League seasons with Aston Villa, Middlesbrough and Wolves (3).
- Liverpool have won their last seven Premier League games without conceding a goal – the last time a team won eight in a row without conceding was in February 2009, when Manchester United won nine consecutively.
