- Coventry are unbeaten in their last five matches (W2, D3), including their last three at home (W2, D1).
- Coventry averages 2.18 goals per game at home in the Championship, conceding just 0.82 on average.
- Wrexham averages 1.23 goals per away game in the Championship (27 goals in total).
Lampard’s men can’t be touched
Coventry City have looked imperious in the Championship 2025-2026 campaign and are deservedly top of the table with 89 points from 44 games. Frank Lampard’s tactical flexibility and insistence on trigger-based pressing at a high-tempo has seen his men top the table ever since he was appointed in November 2024 and they’re unbeaten in five (W2, D3), with a 5-1 victory at home to Portsmouth and a 1-1 draw at Blackburn Rovers in their most recent two outings.
In Haji Wright, Coventry have their own danger man to contend with, the attacker scoring 17 in 38 Championship appearances this season. They’ll need him at his best on Sunday to get past a Wrexham side that have won their last two and could well upset the odds here.
Wrexham will be tough nuts
Wrexham sits 6th in the Championship 2025-2026 standings with 70 points from their 44 matches, but the Red Dragons have picked up the pace recently, winning their last two games, 2-0 at home to Stoke City and 1-0 away to Oxford United.
Phil Parkinson has brought an element of structure to the Wrexham attack this season, but they still play a three-at-the-back system and make their money in the attacking transition, especially from set-pieces and through their wing-backs. Josh Windass is their main threat, with 14 goals in 39 Championship appearances and four of Wrexham’s last six goals.
Head-to-head record doesn’t favour Coventry
Coventry City are the favourites here but Wrexham have won the last two head-to-head meetings, including a 3-2 win at the Racecourse Ground five months ago. The visitors have won nine, drawn seven and lost six of their 22 away games in the Championship 2025-2026, while Coventry have won 16, drawn four and lost just twice at home this term.
Despite Wrexham winning the last two meetings and Coventry’s lacklustre recent record in this fixture, I’m backing the Sky Blues to get the job done here. Lampard’s side are the dominant force in this division, while Wrexham are riding high on the back of their amazing rise and the most exciting recruitment drive in the history of the English game.
Coventry’s need to maintain their promotion charge should see them come out on top against a Wrexham team that has won one, drawn one and lost one of their last three on the road, although the visitors will have a crack for sure, which makes the home win market of 107/100 an attractive one.
