U21 preview | Wolves vs Valencia

Premier League International Cup action comes from the New Bucks Head as Wolves under-21s host Valencia B on Wednesday evening.

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

The old gold come into the game having secured back-to-back victories in two separate competitions in the past week.

James Collins’ side knocked Rugby Town out of the Birmingham Senior Cup last Wednesday, before beating Cardiff City in the Premier League Cup on Saturday.

With 16-year-old Fraser Harper scoring the winning goal in Wales, Wolves have been blooding a number of youngsters in recent outings due to the more regular players training with the first team.

Wednesday’s opponents, Valencia Mestalla, are the reserve team of Spanish giants Valencia CF and compete in the Segunda Federacion – the fourth tier of the football league system in Spain.

The division is divided into five groups, with Valencia B currently placed fifth in Group 3, just two points off leaders Teruel despite occupying the final play-off spot.

The team are coached by Miguel Angel Angulo and boast a six-game unbeaten run, which includes a PLIC goalless draw with Fulham and 2-0 victory at Leicester City. Meanwhile, Wolves were narrowly beaten by Porto B in their only fixture in the competition to date this season.
