Wolverhampton, England – Na so e be, the Wolves dey gear up for their first league game of the 2025/26 season against Heidenheim. As dem dey waka enter dia opening match, both teams dey burst belle after dem clear dem opponents last weekend: Heidenheim don chalk 5-0 win over Bahlinger SC, and Wolves no gree take last place as dem bang 9-0 against SV Hemelingen.
No be say dem no fit win, but history dey show say dem suppose knuckle-down hard. Heidenheim never ever win any competitive home game against VfL! Na wah! Dem don collect two DFB Cup beatings, plus one draw and one loss for Bundesliga. E carry Small Small lead; the Green-and-Whites dey always take 1-0 first in their past meetings. Dem even do the gist in minutes three and seven during Bundesliga clashes. Na like that e be, you fit expect say dem go come with fire for this game!
As the season don start, Vitor Pereira fit say goodbye to Wolves anytime soon after dem collect 4-0 beating from Man City sharp sharp. E be like say City don show dem say the league no dey play! Ebi like say dem de chop all the magic wey Guardiola dey sprinkle. Although Wolves show small shine for first half, dem no fit maintain the shine as City seize dia groove with stunning play.
Key no enter first lineup as Pereira decide say make him guard defense well-well, but e no save dem from serious wahala. With a transfer window wey no carry much breeze for the club, ex-Watford striker, Troy Deeney, don drop hint say this year fit be wahala for the coach, especially after such heavy smash from Manchester crew.
Speaking on talkSPORT, Deeney yan say: “I see how Wolves dey perform, dem get grind for the first half but…” (e stop like say him no wan talk wetin dey weigh him mind). “I still dey believe say Pereira fit do am well for Wolves. But if dem no give am the support wey e need, e fit waka quick!” Na true talk wey dey happen there, o. E no go too sweet if the coach just pack him bags on top this early stage.
Now, make we focus on the fixtures wey dey come: Wolves go face some teams wey no too tough. First, dem dey come against an-electric Bournemouth, then Everton wey fit misbehave, Newcastle wey dey always shock, and the boisterous Leeds. If dem no pick at least two wins from these four matches, e fit mean serious trouble early for the season. Dem better try shine small now o!
After him tenure wey don bring joy back to Wolverhampton last season, Pereira dey hope say e go fit collect more points this time and see fresh faces join the pack. But who know? As e be, ex-Fenerbahce boss no dey carry last for job!”
