Millwall have enjoyed an excellent start to the new season, winning two of their three league matches and progressing through to the third round of the Carabao Cup.
The only blemish on their record thus far was the 2-1 defeat they suffered at the hands of Birmingham City at the weekend, so a midweek clash against a struggling side could be just what they need.
Alex Neil has done a good job of getting his players motivated again after their shock playoff semi-final defeat to Hull City at the end of last season. The Tigers' strong start to life in the Premier League will only act as further fuel for his squad.
For the match on Wednesday, Neil is without Lukas Jensen, Massimo Luongo, Mathis Servais, Femi Azeez and Mihailo Ivanovic due to injuries.
As for Wrexham, the pressure is starting to build on Phil Parkinson for the first time in his Wrexham career, following a desperately poor start to the campaign.
The Dragons, who missed out on promotion for the first time in four years last season, have started the season more like relegation candidates than legitimate promotion challengers, and that will need to change quickly if Parkinson is to remain in post.

The Dragons, who missed out on promotion for the first time in four years last season, have started the season more like relegation candidates than legitimate promotion challengers, and that will need to change quickly if Parkinson is to remain in post.
Parkinson was heavily critical of his team following defeat to Birmingham on Saturday, with the former Bolton boss labelling the two goals scored against his side as the softest of his tenure.
Therefore, we can expect some changes in personnel on Wednesday night, with Josh Windass perhaps returning to the starting XI. Ben Sheaf, Liberato Cacace and George Thomason all remain in the treatment room.
