Use Betfred promo code to net £50 in free bets ahead of Wolves vs Blackburn

Wolves host Blackburn Rovers at Molineux on Friday in the Championship’s opening weekend, both sides’ first game since relegation and a mixed pre-season respectively. Wolves have won just three of their last 40 league matches, while Blackburn arrive unbeaten in eight of their last ten away games.

Ahead of the new Championship season, Betfred are offering new customers the chance to use their promo code and net £50 in free bets. Simply sign up via our link, deposit £10 using a debit card, and place a £10 bet on any sports market at odds of evens or better.

You don’t need a promo code to claim this offer – simply sign up through our link and the free bets will be credited automatically once your qualifying bet settles.

Wolves begin life under new manager César Peixoto following relegation from the Premier League, and the numbers make for grim reading – just three wins in their last 40 league matches, with 15 defeats from their last 30 games at Molineux alone. 

Their rebuild has been complicated by the departures of João Gomes and Matt Doherty, plus long-term injuries to Enso González, Sam Johnstone, Fer López and Sasa Kalajdzic.

Blackburn head to Molineux full of confidence after an away record that saw them lose just twice in their last ten on the road last season, though their overall form has been patchy, winless in five of their last six games across all competitions. 

Tony Mowbray will be without Todd Cantwell, Lewis Miller, Augustus Kargbo, Aynsley Pears, Hayden Carter and Scott Wharton through injury, but Rovers’ recent away form gives them the edge heading into the new campaign.

Net even more value with Betfred

Follow our link to Betfred and these simple steps to claim your free bets:

• Register as a new customer using our link – no promo code required
• Deposit £10 or more using a debit card
• Place a single £10 bet on any sports market at odds of evens (2.0) or higher

Once your bet settles, you’ll receive £50 in free bets within 24 hours – £30 to use on any Sportsbook markets, and £20 to use on accumulators with four or more selections. All free bets expire after 7 days.

A fitting boost for the Championship’s opening weekend, with both sides eager to put a difficult recent spell behind them.

Blackburn’s away form to give them the edge on the opening weekend

Wolves’ recent record at Molineux makes for uncomfortable reading regardless of the change in management, and a run of just three wins in 40 league games is the kind of statistic that takes more than one summer to fix. New arrivals will need time to gel, and early-season results have rarely favoured sides undergoing this level of squad turnover.

Blackburn’s away form last season was a huge strength, and while Mowbray has his own injury list to contend with, Rovers travel with recent history at this ground on their side – the last two meetings at Molineux were both shared points. A tight, low-scoring opener seems the likeliest outcome, with the visitors’ superior recent away form giving them a slight edge.

• Blackburn Rovers to win
• Under 2.5 goals

A cagey start to the Championship season for both sides, with Blackburn’s away pedigree giving them a narrow edge over a Wolves side still finding its feet under new management.
