Wolverhampton Wanderers will face Celta Vigo at the Molineux Stadium on Saturday in a friendly clash between the two clubs. The home side had their struggles last season but ultimately beat the drop quite comfortably and will be looking to improve on their 16th-place finish this season.
They have, however, failed to perform during the off-season, most recently losing 2-1 to La Liga side Girona. The Old Gold found themselves two goals down early in the second half before new signing Jhon Arias came off the bench to halve the deficit.
Celta Vigo, meanwhile, enjoyed a brilliant La Liga campaign last season, finishing seventh in the table to clinch a UEFA Europa League spot. Like their hosts, they have also endured a difficult pre-season campaign, recording their fourth defeat of the off-season last weekend as they lost 1-0 to Portuguese side Vitoria.
Following Saturday's game, both sides will return to their respective domestic leagues, with Wolves set to host Manchester City in the opening weekend of the Premier League while Celta will play Getafe in their La Liga opener.
