Wolves vs. Liverpool Betting Tips: Back the hosts to come out on top in FA Cup replay

Six FA Cup third round replays take place on Tuesday evening with Wolves against Liverpool the pick of the fixtures. We’ve previewed the action and provided you with our best bets.

Wolves will have felt hard done by after the dubious VAR decision that went against them when playing out a 2-2 draw with Liverpool in the FA Cup at Anfield ten days ago. Julen Lopetegui’s side have taken seven points from a possible 12 in the Premier League since Boxing day and have now climbed out of the relegation zone. 

Liverpool put in one of their worst displays of the season so far when being turned over 3-0 at Brighton on Saturday. Jurgen Klopp will have been deeply concerned about how many times his side gave the ball away in what was Brighton’s first ever home league win against The Reds. 

• FA Cup Winner Odds

Taking a look at the match result odds for Tuesday evening’s game and Liverpool are 10/11 to get the job done in 90 minutes. The draw is on offer at 13/5, with a win for Wolves available at 3/1.

The first selection we have picked out at Molineux is for the home side's Rayan Ait Nouri to have one or more shots on target in the match. A player who has taken up a more attacking role since manager Julen Lopetegui was appointed, taking on a left-midfield position as opposed to left-back. 

In his last nine appearances across all competitions, the Frenchman has recorded five shots on target, with two of those resulting in goals. It’s worth noting that in those nine appearances, six have been from the substitutes bench. 

All other bookmakers apart from William Hill have this selection for Ait nouri to record 1+ shot on target priced at shorter than 2/1, so we’d recommend taking the stand-out top-price of 29/10 here.

Liverpool have now dropped down to ninth in the Premier League table and we think that a Wolves win and both teams to score looks a generous price at 6/1 with William Hill.

Jurgen Klopp’s men have let in eight goals across their last three matches in all competitions, including three at Brentford and three at Brighton. It’s now eight consecutive league outings since Liverpool managed to keep a clean sheet and with Wolves showing improvement under their new boss, we think an upset could be on the cards here. 

The price on show for a Liverpool win here looks incredibly short. Wolves have started to find goals a little easier to come by over the past few weeks and with changes expected from both sides, we feel goals could well be on the agenda in the Black Country, resulting in a home win and both teams scoring.
