Wolves Vs Blackburn Preview
Wolves beat Port Vale 3-0 last week to get their season up-and-running in fine fashion. The Old Gold netted all of their goals in the first-half to cruise past the Valiants in the EFL Cup which will give supporters an air of confidence heading into the season opener on Friday night.
As for Blackburn, two goals in the last ten minutes secured a 2-1 cup win over League One outfit Burton Albion. Whereas their hosts will be gunning for promotion this term, Rovers will be hoping for a vastly improved campaign having finished 20th last year.

Wolves Vs Blackburn Team News
Having lined up strong against Port Vale in the EFL Cup, new manager Cesar Peixoto is expected to name a similar – if not identical XI – to the one that cruised past the League Two outfit. That will likely mean returning hero Raul Jimenez is on the bench as he continues to build up his fitness.
As for Blackburn, last week’s goalscorers Jayden Fevrier and Andri Gudjohnsen are in consideration to start from the off. Summer signing Sam Morsy will likely settle for a place on the bench having moved to Ewood Park earlier in the week.
