On the same day, the men’s first team will travel to face the same opponent in the Championship, as both the men’s and women’s teams play Sheffield United, both in the second tier, on the very same day.
For women’s head coach Dan McNamara, that is a clear sign of progression.
After years of working as a part-time outfit and missing out on promotion on several occasions, Wolves Women are finally a professional side playing in the second tier.
They showed promising signs in their opening day 2-0 defeat at promotion favourites Newcastle and now hope to make their first home WSL2 match a memorable one.
“It’s amazing, brilliant,” McNamara said when asked about the men’s and women’s teams playing the same opponent at the same level.
“It’s excellent for both clubs to be operating at the same level and competing against the same clubs. Hopefully it can only drive fan interest.
“Now you’ve got those household names within WSL2, it can drive interest from the fans.
“We’ve got to perform and make people want to come and see us, but hopefully that can only aid the fan base, interest and what we’re trying to do.
“It’s amazing.”
The home support on Sunday will be crucial to Wolves getting a positive result, and the head coach is hoping for an electric atmosphere at the SEAH Stadium.
“The ticket sales have been brilliant and really show an uptake in the interest since we’ve gone to WSL2,” McNamara added.
“It will be brilliant to be back with the fans that have supported us through those tough moments.
“The message for them is it’s tough, chances are at a premium, and we have to be ruthless in both boxes, and we have to stay patient and get behind the girls.
“I’ve seen a few WSL2 managers talk about the power of the fans last weekend and how the home support can really get you over the line in moments.
“As they have done in previous years, I’m hoping we can take a leaf out of some of the other books and cheer on the girls. It makes a massive difference at this level.”
