Wrexham preview – Learning the ropes
Wrexham head into the game with mixed but encouraging form: two wins, two draws, and two defeats from their last six.
They are averaging 2.17 goals per match but also conceding two on average. At home, their recent run has been less convincing, with no wins in three, though two of those ended in draws.
On average, they register 14 shots per home game, with 4.33 on target, while holding 45% possession.
The Red Dragons have avoided defeat in 80% of their last 30 games across all competitions. At home, they’ve won 63% of those matches, scoring close to two goals per game.
Their home resilience is further underlined by going unbeaten in 17 of their last 20 league matches at the Racecourse. Half of their last 10 home league games have ended in draws.
Injuries remain a concern. George Thomason (thigh), Ollie Rathbone and Jay Rodríguez (both ankle), Kieffer Moore (ankle), and Andy Cannon (cruciate ligament) are sidelined, limiting depth in midfield and attack.
Wrexham are expected to line up in a 3-5-2 formation.
Predicted lineups: Ward (GK), Cleworth, Coady, Doyle, Longman, Dobson, James, O'Brien, McClean, Broadhead & Moore
