Mexico World Cup star Raul Jimenez saved Wolves from an embarrassing start to the Championship campaign as his late penalty rescued a 2-2 draw against Blackburn in the opening game of the season on Friday.
Playing in the Championship for the first time in eight years following their relegation from the Premier League last season, Wolves are hoping for an immediate return to the top-flight.
Cesar Peixoto's first game as Wolves boss was just two minutes away from ending in defeat before Jimenez converted a stoppage-time penalty at Molineux.
Wolves won just three league matches last season in a dismal campaign that fuelled fan protests against Chinese owners Fosun.
Following the surprise decision to hire Peixoto from Portuguese club Gil Vicente to replace Rob Edwards, who was sacked during the close-season, Wolves need a fast start to win back their disgruntled supporters.
