Bruno Lage has chosen his Wolves XI to face Real Betis this evening.
It’s Wolves’ first of two planned friendlies of their Spanish training camp and the another chance for us to get a glimpse of Lage’s ideas.
Betis will be tough opponents and a step up from League 1 Crewe last weekend. They finished sixth in La Liga last season.
The big news is that Joao Moutinho starts his first game of pre-season and Raul Jimenez starts again.
Streaming details
According to the club website, the game will be available to Wolves supporters for the price of £4.99.
Fans can also choose to watch on either Wolves TV, via the website or Wolves App, or as a Paid Online Event on Wolves’ official Facebook page.
Fans will only be able to view the live stream through the platform they purchased on; if they buy via WolvesTV, they will have access to the WolvesTV stream but not Facebook feed and vice versa.
Fan reaction to Wolves XI v Betis
Lage went with a 4-4-2 at Crewe last week and the players he’s selected here could be deployed in that system again.
But 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 looks a more natural fit.
It is a first pre-season appearance for Moutinho as well as defender Marcal.
Nelson Semedo and Ruben Neves could also make their first outings of pre-season from the bench.
There could be a first chance for Wolves fans to get a glimpse of new signings Jose Sa and Yerson Mosquera, who are both substitutes as well.
Some Wolves supporters had their say on social media ahead of kick off at 6pm:

- Matheus Cunha and Rayan Ait-Nouri are not the only past mavericks Wolves are missing
- Wolves and Liverpool interested in Portuguese defender who could leave for cut-price fee
- Tim Sherwood claims there’s one Premier League team worse than Wolves this season
