Kick-off is set for 8:00pm and you can find our predictions and betting tips below. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wolves drop into the second tier after a chastening Premier League campaign, but they keep a squad that should have far too much for most sides at this level. Blackburn, meanwhile, arrive on the back of a 20th-place finish and will be out to frustrate. Anthony Eadson has picked out his two best bets below, alongside our score prediction and the key head-to-head numbers.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t<div class=\"vcsw-streaming-cta\" id=\"streaming_cta-1\" data-event-id=\"6a41b7e08d62b9273f6ac45a\">\n            <div class=\"vcsw-streaming-cta__card\">\n                <div class=\"vcsw-streaming-cta__content\">\n                    <div class=\"vcsw-streaming-cta__info\">\n                                                    <div class=\"vcsw-streaming-cta__logo\">\n                                <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sc-prod.onetwenty.media\/storage\/tv-channels\/sky-sports-football.svg\"\n                                    alt=\"Sky Sports Football\"\n                                    class=\"vcsw-streaming-cta__logo-img\">\n                            <\/div>\n                                                <span class=\"vcsw-streaming-cta__channel\">Sky Sports Football<\/span>\n                        <span class=\"vcsw-streaming-cta__event\">Wolverhampton Wanderers VS Blackburn Rovers<\/span>\n                    <\/div>\n                    <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skysports.com\"\n                    target=\"_blank\"\n                    rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\n                    class=\"vcsw-streaming-cta__button\">\n                        Watch here                    <\/a>\n                <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group sq-ptips2-wrap\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 id=\"h-premium-tips\" class=\"wp-block-heading sq-ptips2__bar\">Premium Tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"sq-ptips2__intro wp-block-paragraph\">Anthony Eadson likes the hosts to make a winning start, and there is enough Premier League quality in this Wolves attack to back a comfortable evening at Molineux.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table sq-ptips2 is-style-stripes\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Premium Tip<\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Odds<\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Why we\u2019re backing it<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\"><strong>Wolves -1 match handicap<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">6\/4 (<a href=\"\/en\/go\/bet365?q=gb-all-con-wof-s-spo\">with bet365<\/a>)<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Relegated they may be, but Wolves retain a strong squad that should be too strong for this Blackburn side that finished 20th and scored only 42 league goals last season.

Painful as that was, the group that came down still carries genuine top-flight quality, and the bookmakers make them among the favourites to go straight back up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Raul Jimenez, Adam Armstrong and Hwang Hee-Chan give the hosts a cutting edge few can match at this level, while Kieran Trippier&#8217;s experience adds steel to the spine. The one doubt is how quickly a bruised squad adjusts to the weekly grind of the second tier, but a full Molineux for the opener should carry them through a favourable first assignment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-how-blackburn-rovers-go-into-the-game\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Blackburn Rovers go into the game<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Blackburn endured a hard 2025-26, finishing 20th with 13 wins from 46 and a goal difference of minus 14. Survival was secured but rarely in comfort, and the summer has been about adding punch to a side that managed only 42 league goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yuki Ohashi led the way in front of goal with 10, and Andri Gudjohnsen and Todd Cantwell offer craft in support. A trip to a wounded but well-stocked Wolves is as tough an opener as the fixture computer could have handed them, and keeping the game tight early looks the sensible plan.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"623\" src=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/08\/12120208\/fx01_card.jpg\" alt=\"Wolves vs Blackburn Rovers: 2025-26 by the numbers\" class=\"wp-image-1479029\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/08\/12120208\/fx01_card.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/08\/12120208\/fx01_card-300x173.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/08\/12120208\/fx01_card-1024x591.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/08\/12120208\/fx01_card-768x443.jpg 768w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/08\/12120208\/fx01_card-400x231.jpg 400w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/08\/12120208\/fx01_card-347x200.jpg 347w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/08\/12120208\/fx01_card-104x60.jpg 104w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/08\/12120208\/fx01_card-150x87.jpg 150w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2026\/08\/12120208\/fx01_card-128x74.jpg 128w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-wolves-vs-blackburn-rovers-head-to-head\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Wolves vs Blackburn Rovers head-to-head<\/h2>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\">\n<table class=\"has-fixed-layout\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Date<\/th>\n<th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Home<\/th>\n<th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Score<\/th>\n<th class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Away<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">09\/02\/25<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Blackburn Rovers<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">0-2<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Wolves<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">22\/04\/17<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Wolves<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">0-0<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Blackburn Rovers<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">29\/10\/16<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Blackburn Rovers<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">1-1<\/td>\n<td class=\"has-text-align-left\" data-align=\"left\">Wolves<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These sides have crossed paths just three times in the past decade, with Wolves&#8217; spell in the Premier League keeping them apart.
