Preview
Wolverhampton Wanderers and Middlesbrough face at Molineux Stadium, in a match for the 1st round of the Championship. At this stadium, the head‑to‑head history favours the home team, since they have a record of 2 wins and 1 loss in the last 3 matches. However, the last time these teams met at this stadium, on 24‑10‑2015, in a match for the Championship, Middlesbrough won by (1‑3). The goals of the match were scored by D. Edwards (22' ), for Wolverhampton Wanderers, and by D. Fabbrini (71' ), G. Leadbitter (82' ) and S. Downing (90' ), for Middlesbrough. In this match the home advantage may play an important role, as both teams present significant differences between home and away performances.

Analysis Wolverhampton

This is the first match in this edition of the competition for the home team, that ended the previous edition of the lower division in the 15th position and got the promotion. This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 8 wins, 1 draw and 6 losses in away matches, with 20 goals scored and 20 conceded; against 6 wins, 1 draw and 8 losses at their stadium, with 10 goals scored and 13 conceded. In their last match, for the Club Friendlies, they got a home win against Leicester City by (1‑0). In the last 10 home matches Wolverhampton Wanderers has won 5, tied 1 and lost 4. Goals have been frequent in their home matches, as 12 of the last 28 have ended with Under 1,5 goals and 17 out of 28 have ended with Under 2,5 goals.

Wolves had an inconsistent pre season, but they reach this match after 2 consecutive wins, one against Leicester, a team from Division I. In this home match, coach Nuno Espirito Santo should use a 4-2-3-1 formation prioritising ball possession and attacks through the wings, with Diogo Jota being a very quick player in their offensive transition. In this match, they will be without Ivan Cavaleiro, suspended, in addition to Graham and Helder Costa, injured.

Confirmed Lineup: John Ruddy, Matt Doherty, B. Douglas, Willy Boly, Conor Coady, Roderick Miranda, Romain Saïss, Rúben Neves, Léo Bonatini, Bright Enobakhare, Diogo Jota.
Coach: R. Edwards.

Analysis Middlesbrough

The away team makes its debut in this edition of the competition, after having finished 19th and suffered relegation. This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 1 win, 4 draws and 10 losses in away matches, with 7 goals scored and 25 conceded; against 5 wins, 5 draws and 5 losses at their stadium, with 17 goals scored and 18 conceded. In their last match, for the Club Friendlies, they got a home win against Augsburg by (2‑1). In the last 10 away matches Middlesbrough has won 1, tied 3 and lost 6. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches.

Middlesbrough has a great objective for this season, get back to Division I as soon as possible. In this first away match, coach Garry Monk should use a 4-3-3 formation prioritising defensive organization and quick transitions through the wings. In this season, they had some quality signings: Britt, Assombalonga, Braithwaite and Ashley Fletcher. They should have all their players available for this match.

Confirmed Lineup: Darren Randolph, Cyrus Christie, George Friend, Daniel Ayala, Ben Gibson, Marten de Roon, Jonathan Howson, Britt Assombalonga, Ashley Fletcher, Martin Braithwaite.
Coach: A. Clayton, K. Hellberg.
