The first round of the 2026-27 Carabao Cup Northern Section kicks off with Wolverhampton Wanderers taking on Port Vale at Molineux Stadium on Friday evening. Wolves are unbeaten in their last three matches against this opponent, and we feel they will progress from this tie, as discussed in our prediction below.
Wolverhampton Wanderers are set to return to competitive football this week after enduring a dismal 2025-26 season, which ended with them being relegated from the Premier League.
The Old Gold have had a solid pre-season, winning three of their four games, capped off by a 3-0 victory over Racing Santander. They also kept clean sheets in each win during this period.
The hosts failed to win any of their final four home games in the top flight last term (D2 L2), but they only failed to score in one of their last eight competitive matches at this venue.
Meanwhile, Port Vale also experienced a very poor 2025-26 season, finishing on just 42 points in their 46 games, which saw them relegated from League One back to the fourth tier.
The Valiants beat Blackpool 1-0 last week and have built up some momentum during pre-season, winning all four of their matches, while keeping clean sheets in three of those games.
The visitors have lost six of their last eight competitive away games and have not won a match at this venue since 1996 when they were in the Championship.
