Wolverhampton take on the visitors Liverpool in the round 5 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Saturday, September 16th at Molineux Stadium (Wolverhampton).
Wolverhampton had to change their coach a couple of days before the start of the season. The Wolves recently returned from the Championship as a rather distinctive (with an emphasis on signing players from Portugal) and competitive team that consistently caused problems for the giants and even made it to the Europa League – even to the playoffs of that international tournament. However, this didn't last long. Moreover, last season, under the late autumn arrival of Lopetegui, they won the battle for survival with considerable difficulty. In response, the Wolves leadership made several sales, including Ruben Neves to the East, without really acquiring anyone in particular. Julien's patience ran out in August, and on the eve of the new championship, he initiated the termination of the contract. By the way, newcomers did appear on the deadline day – Enzo Gonzalez and Santiago Bueno... But at the same time, Mateusz Nunes was sold to Manchester City. Not surprisingly, under the current coach, Gary O'Neill, they have only won against Everton (and against Blackpool in the League Cup), while losing to Manchester United, Brighton, and Crystal Palace.

Liverpool will try to regain the positions lost last season. In 2022, the Reds even had a parade – yes, before that, they lost to Real in the Champions League final and the Premier League battle against Manchester City, but they managed to win both cups. A year later, Klopp's team couldn't even secure the 4th place in the English Premier League and will now only compete in the less prestigious international tournaments. By the way, they start in the Europa League against LASK on Thursday, the 21st. It's clear that they needed to strengthen the squad, and the Merseysiders invested heavily in Mac Allister and Soboslai. However, then the Saudi Arabia factor began to play a role: Henderson and Fabinho were sent to the Middle East, and until the last minute, there were disputes about Alisson and especially Salah. They wanted to replace the captain with the purchase of Caicedo and Lavia, but both went to Chelsea, while Jurgen settled for Endo from Eintracht. Nevertheless, the top club had a decent start: a draw with Chelsea and victories over Bournemouth, Newcastle, and Aston Villa.
Last season, the teams exchanged confident, dry home victories. The Wolves are not particularly strong at the moment, but the Reds, despite all their caveats, are in good form. We bet on an away win on Saturday with a handicap of -1.0 goals.
Prediction for the match: Liverpool to win with -1.0 handicap.
