Wolverhampton begin their Championship campaign with a home match. Their first opponents will be Blackburn, who gave the hosts a difficult time in the first half of last season.
Wolverhampton
Wolverhampton were relegated from the Premier League without even managing to finish above the equally beleaguered Burnley. Rob Edwards has been sacked and César Peixoto has taken over. Their competitive start was successful — they thrashed Port Vale 3:0 in the first round of the League Cup, although they are a League Two side. They can be compared with Racing Santander, who have just been promoted to La Liga: a home win by the same scoreline.
Blackburn
Blackburn begin this season under Tony Mowbray, who had not managed for more than a year. As for the club itself, it won five of its eight away matches at the start of the 2025/26 season and lost the other three. Over the whole season, it suffered 10 defeats in 23 matches. This season, Rovers also began with an away win, beating League One side Burton 2:1 in the League Cup.
Wolverhampton vs Blackburn Prediction
Wolverhampton last played in the Championship a long time ago, so their performances in 2017 should not be applied to the current circumstances. However, their confident results in the first month of the season and the second-most valuable squad clearly suggest that the home side will win.
