The 2026-27 EFL Championship season kicks off in Black Country on Friday night, with Wolverhampton Wanderers taking on Blackburn Rovers at Molineux. Wolves have not lost to Rovers since 2012, and we are leaning toward them extending that record here as our match prediction.
Wolverhampton Wanderers are set to start life back in the second tier after finishing bottom of the Premier League, which brought an end to their eight-season stint in England’s top flight.
The Old Gold had a solid pre-season, winning three of their four matches (L1) before comprehensively beating Port Vale 3-0 in the opening round of the EFL Cup last weekend.
Despite their disappointing league campaign last term, the hosts lost only one of their final six league games at Molineux, which included victories over Liverpool and Aston Villa at this venue.
Meanwhile, after narrowly missing out on the Playoffs in 2024-25, Blackburn Rovers endured a forgettable campaign last season, finishing down in 20th place with 52 points from their 46 games.
Rovers had a mixed pre-season, recording two wins, two draws and a loss in their five games before pulling off a dramatic late comeback to beat Burton 2-1 in the Carabao Cup last weekend.
The visitors earned 31 points from their 23 away league games last season (W9 D4 L10). They were beaten 2-0 by their upcoming opponents in the FA Cup last season.

Our Wolves vs Blackburn Prediction
Blackburn Rovers will be hoping for better this year after a forgettable last season, but their opening match of this term in the EFL Cup was far from convincing, as they needed two late goals to get past Burton.
Despite having endured a terrible top-flight campaign last season, Wolves are among the favourites to earn promotion this term, especially after their impressive performances during pre-season and against Port Vale last week. The Old Gold have not lost to this opponent in over a decade and beat them in the FA Cup back in February. Therefore, our Wolves vs Blackburn prediction is Wolves wins.
