Wolves vs Liverpool FA Cup Betting Tips, Bet Builder Predictions & Odds
Wolves will be eager to spring another surprise when they host Liverpool in the FA Cup fifth round on Friday evening.
The relegation-imperilled Wolves clinched a 2-1 win over the Reds in midweek in the Premier League, and Molineux was rocking.
This time, a place in the FA Cup quarter-finals is up for grabs, but will lightning strike twice? Our preview is replete with tasty football betting tips to latch onto ahead of kick-off.
Wolves vs Liverpool Tips
We’ve got three betting tips for Friday's game, including a bet builder and the latest odds from our free bet betting sites.
Tip 1: Liverpool to Qualify On Penalties
Against Wolves in the league clash, Liverpool didn’t really probe or ask serious questions. They preferred to monopolise the ball, attaining over 65% of possession, but the build-up play was slow.
Wolves, on the other hand, buoyed perhaps by their 2-0 win against Aston Villa last week, were more adventurous and threw caution to the wind.
In many ways, Liverpool have become easier to play against this season, and Andre’s last-gasp intervention for Wolves was the first time that a team in the relegation zone had scored a 90th-minute winner against the reigning Premier League champions.
Under Arne Slot, Liverpool have been slack and their standards have slipped. The Reds won 1-0 on their last visit to Molineux in the FA Cup in 2023, and I’m backing them to win. However, I’ve been bold with my first tip, and I’ve gone with Liverpool to qualify via penalties.
Tip 2: First Team to Score (Wolves)
After a sequence of decent results, you wonder why Wolves haven’t been able to show more fight this season.
While the Premier League has been hugely disappointing, Wolves won’t want to roll out the red carpet. Despite managing just four shots and amassing an xG (expected goals) rate of 0.44 in the league game, Wolves need to show more cutting edge against Liverpool.
The fans will be baying for more blood, and Wolves will look to deliver. Given Liverpool’s defensive frailties, the Merseysiders might have to come from behind. For my second tip, Wolves to open the scoring as they did in the recent league encounter, is worth backing.
Tip 3: First Team to Score (Wolves), Rio Ngumoha Anytime Assist, Over 10.5 Corners
Begin your bet builder with Wolves to start more brightly, and replicate their performance against Liverpool in midweek by scoring first.
Rio Ngumoha has been restricted to short cameo appearances this term, but the 17-year-old has plenty of potential. He could make a difference, and the chance for him to pop up with an assist at any point is inviting.
Complete your bet builder with a trip to the corners market. The league game earlier this week saw Liverpool dominate the corner count (11-3). There could be plenty of corners awarded again, and Over 10.5 corners is feasible.
