Liverpool 2-1 Wolves

Current streaks

Recent form

Liverpool

Liverpool have shown mixed form in their recent fixtures, despite maintaining their position at the top of the Premier League table. The Reds have won three, drawn one, and lost two of their last six matches across all competitions, demonstrating some inconsistency. Notably, Liverpool have been involved in several high-scoring encounters, with their 4-0 victory over Tottenham Hotspur in the League Cup and 4-1 win against Ipswich Town in the Premier League standing out. Their attacking prowess is evident, having scored an impressive 14 goals in their last six games, averaging 2.33 goals per match. However, their defence has been somewhat leaky, conceding seven goals during this period. The team's ability to score freely is reflected in the fact that 67% of their recent matches have seen over 2.5 goals, suggesting exciting, open football for spectators.

Wolves

Wolves have shown a mixed bag of form recently, with their last six matches split evenly between wins and losses. Despite their low league position of 17th, the team have managed to secure two clean sheets in their last six games, both resulting in victories. Their FA Cup performances have been a bright spot, with wins against Blackburn Rovers and Bristol City providing some respite from their Premier League struggles. However, Wolves have endured a concerning run of three consecutive league defeats, conceding seven goals in the process, including a 3-0 loss to Newcastle United. The team's goal-scoring record has been modest, averaging just over one goal per game, while their defence has been slightly more porous, conceding an average of 1.33 goals per match. Interestingly, half of their recent matches have seen over 2.5 goals, suggesting a tendency for more open, high-scoring affairs.

Recent home/away form

Liverpool

Liverpool have been in formidable form at Anfield, showcasing their dominance with an impressive run of five consecutive home victories. The Reds have been particularly prolific in front of goal, scoring a remarkable 19 goals in their last six home matches, averaging 3.17 goals per game. Their attacking prowess is further highlighted by the fact that all of these matches have seen over 2.5 goals scored. Notably, Liverpool have been ruthless against some opponents, with two 4-0 victories against Tottenham Hotspur and Accrington Stanley, and a 4-1 thrashing of Ipswich Town. Despite their offensive firepower, Liverpool's defence has also been solid, conceding just five goals in six games and keeping two clean sheets. The only minor blemish in this otherwise perfect run was a 2-2 draw against rivals Manchester United, but even then, Liverpool maintained their unbeaten streak at home.
