Premier League match time dawns at Molineux as Wolves get set to host Blackpool on Saturday, February 26, in a second leg encounter in match week 28.
The first leg, hosted at Bloomfield Road by Blackpool on November 20, ended 2-1 in the hosts’ favour. Varney gave Blackpool the lead in the 4th minute as Wolves conceded an early goal for the third time in a row. Harewood put the hosts 2-0 ahead, with a minute to go before the break.
Ironically, but for the score, it was a game dominated by Wolves who enjoyed the better possession; it would not be an exaggeration to say that the match on the pitch was one-sided. But Blackpool took control of the midfield and adapted to the challenge. Holloway decided to go with 4 men in attack and 2 in the midfield, as opposed to the 3 each, in the Blommfield Road squad’s usual formation. Blackpool were as ever quick on the rebound, and Varney’s goal was arguably a contender for goal of the season,
Blackpool’s early strike meant that Wolves played catching up for the most part, and McCarthy’s wards did not create many chances in the first half. Lapses of concentration, especially in defence, cost Wolves 3 points on the day, with Foley the chief culprit for Blackpool’s first goal. Hahnemann had his own dubious contribution in the form of the second goal to the Seasiders. Giving credit where it’s due, McCarthy tried to change things around, by bring Ebanks-Blake in place of Hunt, in the second half. Doyle reduced the margin for Wolves, it proved too little too late, coming as it did with barely 4 minutes of regulation time left.
Head to head the sides have played 5 league games in the last 10 years, and Wolves lead Blackpool 2-1. In 10 games this season, Wolves have registered 4 wins, and 6 losses, while Blackpool have won 2 of their last 10, while drawing 2, and losing the remaining 6. Of 13 home games at Molineux, Wolves have won 6, lost 5, and drawn the remaining 2; Blackpool have won 5 games on the road, while losing 7, and drawing 2.
In their last game, Wolves drew 1-1 away at West Brom, while Blackpool beat Tottenham 3-1, at home.
On current form this promises to be a hard fought encounter, with Wolves enjoying a slight edge on the back of home advantage.
Wolves had the following men in their first eleven against West Brom: Hennessey, Zubar, Stearman, Berra, Elokobi, Foley, Henry, O’Hara, Milijas, Jarvis and Doyle. Ward Ebanks-Blake and Craddock were used as substitutes.
