Wolves and Racing Santander face each other at Molineux Stadium on Saturday as they continue their preparations for the new campaign. Wolves head into the friendly after a comfortable 2-0 victory over Doncaster and will be eager to build momentum ahead of life back in the Championship following last season's relegation from the Premier League. Fernando Lopez and Tawanda Chirewa both made a strong case for a starting role after coming off the bench to score in that win, giving the hosts additional attacking options. Despite a poor run in their final competitive matches last season, Wolves appear to be turning the page under preseason conditions.
Racing Santander, meanwhile, are preparing for their long-awaited return to La Liga after securing promotion last season. The Spanish side received another boost by tying top scorer Asier Villalibre down to a permanent deal, but they enter this fixture on the back of a disappointing 3-0 defeat to Athletic Bilbao. Santander have enjoyed an impressive overall run, winning six of their last ten matches while averaging 2.4 goals per game, yet facing an improving Wolves side at Molineux will be another demanding test.
Wolverhampton looked sharp against Doncaster, especially in the second half, and should carry that momentum into another home friendly. Therefore, Home Win is our main betting tip for this warm-up game, alongside BTTS and Over 2.5 goals (both teams have been involved in high-scoring matches recently, making another entertaining contest likely).
This match will be played on Saturday 1 August 2026 at 17:00.
