Wolves host Blackburn Rovers in season opener for EFL Championship

Wolverhampton Wanderers welcome Blackburn Rovers for their first EFL Championship match on August 14 at Molineux Stadium. Both teams emerged with wins in the EFL Cup last weekend, with Wolves' new manager Cesar Peixoto making his league debut and Tony Mowbray starting his second spell with Blackburn. Historically, Wolves have remained unbeaten in their last eight league encounters against Blackburn, with the last two matches ending in draws. Blackburn has a strong away record against Wolves, having lost only once in their past nine league games at Molineux. The stage is set for an intriguing match as both teams look to build on their respective cup successes.
