Wrexham vs Birmingham City

Wrexham are aiming to build on a recent fine run when they host Birmingham City in a Friday night English Championship clash.

Meanwhile, the visitors are in the middle of a rough patch and are particularly poor on their travels. They should find things difficult against the hosts, who can do enough to avoid defeat in front of their fans.

Wrexham News

Wrexham are coming off a 1-1 draw at playoff-chasing Leicester City in their previous Championship fixture. They fell behind in the first half but struck back midway through the second, with Nathan Broadhead getting the equaliser.

Manager Phil Parkinson will be pleased with the fight shown by his team, who are now unbeaten in their last four matches across all competitions. Wrexham have also won at least one half in three of those four fixtures.

Wrexham have no problems going forward and have scored in their last 10 matches across all competitions. However, they often struggle to maintain their defensive discipline and are without a clean sheet in eight of those fixtures.

Birmingham City News

Birmingham City also played out a draw in their previous Championship fixture as they were held 2-2 at home by Sheffield Wednesday. They took an early lead through Jay Stansfield but fell behind in the second half and needed a late Demarai Gray equaliser to salvage a point.

That result is part of a recent poor run for Birmingham City, who are winless in five of their last six matches across all competitions. Chris Davies' team have been beaten four times on this run, with three of those defeats coming in their last three away matches.

Like the hosts, Birmingham City are unconvincing at the back and have failed to keep a clean sheet in eight of their last 10 matches across all competitions. However, they have scored in six fixtures on this run.

Head to Head

Birmingham City have one win and two draws in three previous matches against Wrexham. Both teams played out a 1-1 draw in their last meeting back in League One.

Verdict

Wrexham v Birmingham

Wrexham are showing some good form lately and are unbeaten in their last four matches. They can earn a win or draw against Birmingham City, who have lost their last three away matches.

Neither defence is convincing at the moment, and with both teams scoring in their last two meetings, a repeat could be on the cards. Wrexham have won at least one half in three of their last four matches and could be set for a similar pattern here.
