The appointment of Peixoto marks a significant change for Wolves, who have recruited well and kept a good number of their best players post-relegation. This has led to them being tipped for promotion, and they are big favourites to start the season with a win against Blackburn Rovers. The Rovers, on the other hand, have appointed Tony Mowbray as their new manager, who returns to the dugout hoping to steer them away from the relegation fight.
The first game of the season is indeed a complete unknown, as The Guardian Football noted. The beauty of the Championship lies in its unpredictability, and Wolves and Blackburn Rovers will be looking to set the right tone for their seasons. With kick-off at 8pm BST, fans can expect a thrilling encounter at Molineux.
The match will be a test for Peixoto's managerial skills, as he looks to lead Wolves to a winning start. With a strong squad and a good recruitment drive, the Portuguese manager will be hoping to make a positive impact from the off. The outcome of the game remains uncertain, but one thing is for sure - it will be an exciting encounter.
