Wolves and Blackburn Rovers face each other in the Championship round 1 at Molineux, with both sides looking to start the new campaign on a positive note. Wolves have been in encouraging form lately, defeating Port Vale 3-0 in the EFL Cup and extending their winning run to three matches including preseason friendlies. Rafiki Said is expected to make his debut, while experienced striker Raul Jimenez is back in the squad. The arrival of Kieran Trippier is another major boost for the hosts. Despite their recent struggles over a larger sample, Wolves have conceded just 1.00 goal per game in their last five at home.
Blackburn, meanwhile, head into the opener after a 2-1 EFL Cup victory over Burton. The visitors have been particularly impressive on the road, winning four of their last six away games and averaging 1.50 goals per game in those fixtures. Moussa Baradji is expected to make his Championship debut and could provide another attacking option. Blackburn have also lost only two of their last 10 overall.
Considering Wolves' home advantage, stronger squad and excellent recent momentum, we believe that there is big value in betting on Home Win, alongside Under 3.5 and Under 2.5 goals (only 20% of the previous 15 H2H meetings produced four or more goals).
This Championship match will be played on Friday 14 August 2026 at 20:00.
