Liverpool vs Wolves predictions: Klopp can enjoy fitting farewell

- Liverpool have won 23 of their 28 home matches this season
- The Reds have kept just one clean sheet in their last 16 home matches
- Recommended bet: Liverpool to win and both teams to score

The Jurgen Klopp era at Anfield comes to an end on Sunday. After eight years of brilliance and a few trophies to boot, the German has called time on his reign as Liverpool boss, and his players will be looking to give him a fitting send off by landing a win in his final match in charge. 

Wolves’ season — which began with them looking like top-six contenders — has petered out somewhat but a win could move them as high as 10th, so Gary O’Neil’s side will be keen for his players to give their all at Anfield. 

Team news

Joel Matip and Thiago Alcantara — who will both leave Liverpool alongside their manager at the end of the season — will not feature in Klopp’s farewell but Diogo Jota and Andrew Robertson both have a chance to feature on the final day.

Craig Dawson and Leon Chiwome are certain absentees for Wolves while O’Neil has a decision to make surrounding Pedro Neto, who is back in training but may not be worth risking with little on the line for Wanderers. 

The stats

Liverpool have won 23 of their 28 home matches this season.

Both teams to score has been a winning bet in six of Wolves’ last eight games.

The Reds have kept just one clean sheet in their last 16 home matches, with that sole shutout coming against Championship side Southampton.

Wolves have won just one of their last 10 games, losing seven times in that run.

Cody Gakpo has scored in Liverpool’s last two games and netted in the reverse fixture.

Wanderers have won only one of their last 12 meetings with the Reds, losing 10 times in that dismal run.

Prediction

Klopp has amassed 208 wins in his 333 Premier League games prior to this clash with Wolves and has a brilliant 60.8 percent win rate with the Reds, second behind only Kenny Dalglish (60.9%) in the all-time rankings, so it seems fitting he should bow out with a victory. 

Liverpool have won 23 of their 28 home matches this season so given Wolves are on a run of just one win in their last 10 games — a sequence which is made up of seven defeats including a loss to Championship side Coventry - it seems likely that Klopp will get a fitting farewell. 

The Reds have won 10 of the last 12 meetings between the pair, losing just once in that run, and should be feeling confident, although a clean sheet could prove to be beyond them. 

Klopp’s men have managed just one clean sheet in their last 16 games — in a 3-0 win over Championship side Southampton — and despite Wolves’ struggles, they have still been finding the net, with both teams scoring in six of their last eight matches. 

O'Neil's side netted when losing to title-bound Manchester City on their last away day and could breach a leaky Liverpool defence at Anfield, even if eventually being overpowered by the potent Reds who have scored 12 goals in their last five outings.
