Welsh Red Dragons to get a bite from The Baggies
Wrexham and West Bromwich have each won two, drawn two and lost one of their last five Championship 2026/2027 fixtures, but it's the visitors who arrive for this Tuesday night matchup in Wales with the better position in the table. The Red Dragons sit 14th with 10 points from eight games, a mid-table start that is probably not good enough to prevent relegation, although they are still in touch.
West Bromwich have a superior 14 points from their first eight Championship 2026/2027 matches and are 5th.
Wrexham will not be an easy mark
A 1-1 home draw with QPR was followed by a 1-0 defeat away to Wolves and it will be interesting to see how James Morrison's Baggies respond to these setbacks. West Bromwich are a team with a bit more of a pragmatic edge than the previous regime's possession-playing side, but there's still flexibility to play a 4-4-2 or 4-1-4-1 formation.
Phil Parkinson has Wrexham well drilled in a 3-5-2 system where the wing-backs provide the width, they play a narrow 3 in defence and hit teams quickly on the counter-attack when they can. That's a good formula for this mid-table side to grind out a few wins, but the 6-0 West Ham defeat and 2-1 home win over a poor Southampton side have been the two extremes they have shown lately.
Baggies have the edge from last season’s games
Form and stats:
Wrexham have been a bit more solid at home of late, where they have won one and drawn one of their last two fixtures, while West Bromwich have two wins and two defeats on their record away from The Hawthorns.
The hosts haven't beaten West Bromwich in their last home meeting, which gives the Baggies a small psychological advantage for this matchup.
West Bromwich have conceded 1.25 goals per game on their travels and Wrexham have scored 1.25 and conceded 1.25 goals at SToK Cae Ras, so it looks like a 2-2 draw to us and we are going to back a West Bromwich double chance and under 3.5 goals, rather than risk taking the low odds on the home side.
Players to watch:
- Kieffer Moore has been a good investment for the hosts, with the striker having hit three goals in eight Championship 2026/2027 games, and is the main goal threat for Wrexham.
- Callum Styles has provided West Bromwich with a spark, registering two goals in his last five as the team has scored four goals in that run, but Jimmy-Jay Morgan is the team's main spark in the final third, having three goals and three assists in eight Championship 2026/2027 appearances.
