U21 preview | Wolves vs Porto

Wolves under-21s take on FC Porto at Molineux as the old gold open their 2022/23 Premier League International Cup campaign on Saturday afternoon.

Please note, due to broadcasting restrictions, Saturday’s Premier League International Cup fixture with FC Porto will not be live streamed.

James Collins returns to take charge of the team following a period alongside Steve Davis in the first team dugout, as the head coach is reunited with his group of players once again.

The competition offers a special set of games that only 12 clubs from England and 12 clubs from across Europe get a taste of.

As well as hosting the Portuguese giants, Wolves will also be paid visits by Valencia, Wolfsburg and Celtic in the coming weeks at Molineux.

The 21s head into the game in a strong vein of form, having won three of their last four in all competitions under the stewardship of Ian Sharps. Back-to-back victories in the PL Cup over Reading and Sunderland have set the team up well ahead of their first International Cup fixture since the 2019/20 season.

Porto opened their campaign with a 1-1 draw against Blackburn Rovers at Ewood Park on Wednesday evening, as a last minute Jose Pedro equaliser earned a point.

Saturday’s opponents, Porto B, compete in the Portuguese second division and are currently placed ninth having collected 19 points from their opening 13 games.
