Blackburn won just three of their last 14 matches in the Championship last season
Wolves beat Port Vale 3-0 in the first round of the Carabao Cup last week
Recommended bet: Wolves-Wolves Half Time/Full Time @ 5/4 with LiveScore Bet
Wolves start their first season in the Championship since 2017-18 with a home fixture against a team they should easily beat if they are to bounce straight back to the Premier League at the first attempt.
Blackburn struggled last season, finishing 20th in the second tier, and interim manager Michael O'Neill did not fancy the prospect of continuing with the Lancastrian side, choosing to focus solely on his role as Northern Ireland manager.
Both teams will have been buoyed by victories in the first round of the Carabao Cup, Blackburn coming from a goal down to win 2-1 at Burton while Wolves easily dispatched Port Vale 3-0.

Prediction
Wolves start their Championship season under a new manager in Cesar Peixoto following the sacking of Rob Edwards, and the Portuguese has apparently settled in well, with his side winning with clean sheets in four of five games under his leadership.
The experienced Kieran Trippier and Mexico international Raul Jimenez are welcome additions to the squad, and Wolves should have too much class for a Blackburn side who are likely once again to be involved in a relegation battle.
The return of Tony Mowbray to Ewood Park is a plus, while the signing of Sam Morsy from Ipswich will help bolster the midfield.
However, the experienced Mowbray may struggle to conjure much of a revival and survival is likely to be the most Rovers fans can expect.
Blackburn had a better record on the road than at home last season, but it is difficult to see them coming away from Molineux with a positive result and a comfortable home win is on the agenda.
Wolves were 3-0 up by half-time against Port Vale and while Blackburn will offer sterner resistance, the hosts will want to make a fast start in what is an expected promotion bid this season.
Prediction: Wolves 3-1 Blackburn
Back Wolves to be winning at both half-time and full-time at 5/4 with LiveScore Bet.
