February 1, 2025 — Wolverhampton Wanderers FC, affectionately known as Wolves, are heading into a crucial period in the Premier League season. With the team aiming to secure a higher position in the league, the upcoming fixtures promise exciting challenges and key opportunities for the squad to make a push for the top half of the table. Here’s a breakdown of Wolves’ upcoming fixtures for February 2025:
1. Wolves vs. Aston Villa – February 1, 2025
Venue: Molineux Stadium
Time: 17:30 GMT
Wolves will kick off February with a crucial match against local rivals Aston Villa. This Midlands derby is always fiercely contested, and with both teams aiming to improve their league positions, this clash promises to be intense. Aston Villa have been in strong form this season, and Wolves will need to be at their best to get a positive result at home. Given their recent form, which included a 1-0 loss to Arsenal in their last match, Wolves will be looking to bounce back and secure all three points.
2. Wolves vs. Brighton & Hove Albion – February 8, 2025
Venue: Molineux Stadium
Time: 14:00 GMT
After their derby against Villa, Wolves will host Brighton & Hove Albion at Molineux. Brighton has been one of the surprise teams of the season, sitting comfortably in the mid-table. Wolves will need to maintain their focus and defensive solidity in this match, as Brighton’s counter-attacking style can pose problems. This fixture offers Wolves a valuable opportunity to gain points at home, especially with the need to improve their standing in the Premier League.
3. Leeds United vs. Wolves – February 15, 2025
Venue: Elland Road, Leeds
Time: 15:00 GMT
Wolves will travel to Elland Road to face Leeds United on February 15, 2025. Leeds, known for their high-energy and aggressive style of play, will pose a tough test for Wolves’ defense. Leeds has shown vulnerabilities this season, especially at home, and Wolves will look to exploit these weaknesses. A win here could be crucial as Wolves attempt to secure a place in the top half of the table.
4. Wolverhampton Wanderers vs. Newcastle United – February 22, 2025
Venue: Molineux Stadium
Time: 15:00 GMT
Wolves’ home form has been a mixed bag this season, but the team will look to take full advantage of their home crowd when they face Newcastle United on February 22. Newcastle have been competitive under their current management, and their attack will challenge Wolves’ defense. However, with both teams battling to stay clear of relegation, this fixture will be crucial for Wolves to secure three points on home soil.
5. Crystal Palace vs. Wolves – February 28, 2025
Venue: Selhurst Park, London
Time: 20:00 GMT
Wolves will end February with a trip to Selhurst Park to take on Crystal Palace. Palace has proven difficult to beat at home, with their robust defense and dangerous set-pieces. However, Wolves have the attacking capability to break down their defense, especially if key players like Pedro Neto and Matheus Cunha are in top form. The result of this match will be critical for both teams as they look to stay above the relegation zone and push for a mid-table finish.
Summary
With February featuring some high-stakes fixtures, Wolves must focus on consistency in both attack and defense. The Midlands derby against Aston Villa will set the tone for their month, and following that up with home victories against Brighton and Newcastle will be essential. Away matches at Leeds and Crystal Palace present opportunities for Wolves to secure valuable points on the road.
Head coach Julen Lopetegui will need to make the most of his squad depth, especially with key players like Ruben Neves (who recently transferred out of the club), and new signings such as defender Emmanuel Agbadou expected to play important roles.
As Wolves look to climb the table, every point will count as they face teams both above and below them in the Premier League standings.
Keep an eye on these fixtures to see how Wolves perform as they battle through a critical month in their season.
