Friday night under the Molineux lights and the market is asking you the question will lightning strike twice?

Wolves yet again are chunky outsiders to beat Liverpool, with 6.4 on offer to repeat Tuesday's stunning 2-1 win in the Premier League - a result even the most optimistic of Wolves fan wouldn't have seen coming.

The added edge of this being knockout football in the FA Cup fifth round should sharpen Liverpool focus though, shouldn't it? The price of 1.55 for Arne Slot's team to win in 90 minutes screams that the market is anticipating a reaction. They are expecting much more tempo to the way Liverpool go about their business after being so passive for large parts of that defeat on Tuesday.

Of course, a result has to be settled on the night via extra-time or penalties so the "to qualify" market is very relevant when assessing how to best attack this game. Wolves are 4.2 and Liverpool at 1.3.

Unders hold the value at Molineux

As with most football betting markets, goals are the sexy play here but it's sexy isn't everything.

The market has over 2.5 at 1.62 and under 2.5 sitting quite pretty at 2.5 on the Betfair Exchange. Those lines look far too skewed towards the over line.

Wolves aren't a team that get dragged into madcap games. Under Rob Edwards, their games against Premier League opposition are averaging just 2.21 goals per match. They slow it, squeeze it and do make you work for your goals - as Liverpool found out on Tuesday.

This cup match, especially after a shock result days earlier, could become cagey with the insurance policy of the extra-time if needed. If Wolves stick to type and keep this arm-wrestle tight, that 2.5 on the unders starts to look like the value side of the line.

Liverpool on mute before the break?

Watching Liverpool games when they play away from home is a great opportunity to get some life admin done, spend some quality time with loved ones, especially in first halves.

Arne Slot is all about control. But sometimes it slips from control to too safe and quite painful to watch from an entertainment standpoint.

Liverpool have scored three goals in 15 first halves away from home in the Premier League this season. Those backing the under 0.5 first half goals line for Liverpool on the road have found themselves a very nice betting edge to exploit.

It's a bet that has landed in 12 of Liverpool's last 15 away games domestically - that's an 80 per cent strike rate. And to give you a flavour of what odds this bet has been going off, the under 0.5 Liverpool goals line here has been priced at 13/8 by the Betfair Sportsbook.

Most of those 15 occasions will have seen an odds-against price on offer on this market. Some folk might be anticipating a reaction from Liverpool here which means Wolves may get blown away by some barnstorming early pressure from the Reds but this trend when it comes to Slot's style is too just noisy to ignore.
