Last 5 Black Country derbies as Wolves-West Brom dates revealed

Wolves and West Brom will rekindle their rivalry when the two teams meet in the Black Country derby in the Championship next season.

The two meetings will be the first between both teams since 2024 and the first in the league in five years.

Wolves will host Albion at Molineux on September 19 - while the reverse fixture at the Hawthorns is scheduled for February 20.

Here, we take a look back at the last five Black Country derbies.

January 28, 2024: West Brom 0-2 Wolves

Wolves won the most recent Black Country derby when they beat West Brom 2-0 in the FA Cup fourth round.

However, the game was marred by crowd disorder after play was halted for 38 minutes due to trouble in the stands.

Pedro Neto provided the breakthrough for Wolves before Matheus Cunha sealed the deal in the 78th-minute.

It was after Cunha’s strike that tensions spilled over, but Wolves held out for the final 12 minutes after play resumed.

As a result, Wolves registered their first FA Cup win over Albion since 1949 and their first victory at the Hawthorns since 1996.

May 3, 2021: West Brom 1-1 Wolves

West Brom were left all but relegated after drawing against Wolves at the Hawthorns, which was empty due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Fabio Silva had put Wolves in front with a first header opener, but Mbaye Diagne headed in the leveller to salvage a point.

That left West Brom needing to win all four of their remaining games, which inevitably proved a bridge too far.

Allardyce suffered the first relegation of his managerial career and left the club at the end of the season.

January 16, 2021: Wolves 2-3 West Brom

The first Black Country derby in nine years produced a five-goal thriller, as West Brom emerged 3-2 victors at Molineux in January 2021.

Matheus Pereira gave Albion the lead from the spot, before goals from Fabio Silva and Willy Boly completed the turnaround for Wolves.

However, Semi Ajayi’s header restored parity for the Baggies and Pereira kept his cool from 12 yards again to produce the match-winner, after Callum Robinson was upended inside the box.

It was only Albion’s second win of the season and their first under new boss Sam Allardyce.

February 12, 2012: Wolves 1-5 West Brom

Peter Odemwingie scored a hat-trick for West Brom as they ran riot in a 5-1 demolition of Wolves at Molineux.

He scored the first of his treble through a deflected strike, before Steven Fletcher equalised for Wolves.

However, Jonas Olson and Keith Andrews scored either side of two further goals for Odemwingie to complete the rout in the second half.

Wolves ultimately slipped into the relegation zone, as pressure began to intensify on boss Mick McCarthy.

October 16, 2011: West Brom 2-0 Wolves

Roy Hodgson helped lead West Brom to a 2-0 triumph over Wolves at the Hawthorns in October 2011.

Chris Brunt broke the deadlock after just eight minutes when he powered his finish past Wolves goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey.

Kevin Doyle had an effort foiled on the line by Olsson before Odemwingie sealed the victory late on.

Paul Scharner played an instrumental role in the second goal with a driving run inside. His back-heal found Odemwingie inside the box, who drilled a low shot into the far bottom corner.
