Wolves will take on Lens in a pre-season friendly on Wednesday, 30 July, at the Bescot Stadium in Walsall.
The match is Wolves' second pre-season friendly of the summer, and they may have their work cut out as they are taking on a Lens team that have already played three matches this summer.
With less than three weeks to go until the start of the new Premier League season, Wolves will be keen to put in a good performance to calm down tensions among supporters who are concerned about the lack of transfer activity at the club.

Wolves preview: Arias to debut?
Wolves' biggest summer signing so far, Jhon Arias, could be in line for his debut on Wednesday, but manager, Vitor Pereira will have to weigh up whether it is too soon for him after his efforts in the Club World Cup. Jose Sa is one man who definitely won't play as he continues to recover from a long-term eye injury.
Predicted lineup: Bentley (GK), Lima, Doherty, Agbadou, Toti, Bellegarde, Andre, J.Gomes, Hwang, R.Gomes, Larsen

Lens preview: More rotation expected
Lens have had an unbeaten pre-season so far, but that won't deter them from their plans. Throughout the summer, their manager, Pierre Sage, has heavily rotated his team, and the same should be expected on Wednesday. Rayan Fofana scored from the bench last time out, so he could get a start.
Predicted lineup: Gurtner (GK), Aguilar, Bermont, Gradit, Guilavogui, Said, Baidoo, Sotoca, Sylla, Thomasson, Fofana

Player to watch: Jorgen Strand Larsen
Jorgen Strand Larsen may have only just signed for Wolves on a permanent deal following a decent loan spell last season, but he is already being linked with a move to Newcastle, which would only infuriate Wolves fans more. Strand Larsen is expected to carry the club in an attacking sense this season, following the departure of Matheus Cunha.
