In the 29th round of the English Premier League on March 3, 2026, a match will be held between Wolverhampton Wanderers and Liverpool. The visitors need nothing but victory in this encounter.
The team from Molineux turned things around last season after appointing Pereira as manager—ultimately finishing sixteenth with 42 points. Now, they are not just outsiders; their results are among the worst in club history! The only successes have come from occasionally tripping up their opponents—like the 0-0 draw with Nottingham Forest and especially the 2-2 comeback against Arsenal. After losing to Crystal Palace, they confidently defeated Aston Villa 2-0. They also won 1-0 against Grimsby in the cup.
The Anfield giants, after an assured triumph in 2024/2025—Slot’s first season—have since faced a series of setbacks. Only in the Champions League have results been positive. In both the Super Cup and the League Cup, the favorites lost to Crystal Palace, and in the Premier League, fourth place is the best they’ve managed so far. However, the recent 5-2 win over West Ham marked their third consecutive victory. In the cup, they also crushed Brighton 3-0.
The main underdog averages just 0.69 goals scored while conceding significantly more—1.76 per match. The title holders don’t have stellar stats either: just 1.68 goals scored per game, conceding 1.32.
