Tough test for The Blades
Sheffield United will have to remain patient on Friday when they face a well-organised Wrexham side that have already shown the ability to disrupt the odds.
The Red Dragons, who won 2-1 away from home seven months ago in the Championship 2025/2026, will again fancy their chances of a surprise result.
Phil Parkinson has led Wrexham since July 2021 and has developed a compact, well-disciplined 4-4-2 system that makes them difficult to break down when playing on the counter-attack. That can be frustrating for opponents and they will again be difficult to get the better of this Friday night.
Wrexham arrive in mixed form with two wins, one draw and two defeats from their last five in all competitions after a 1-1 draw at Derby County, 2-1 home defeat to West Bromwich Albion and 4-1 home victory over Preston North End.
Wilder has added quality
United will also arrive with mixed feelings as they come off a 1-0 away win at Bristol City that was a positive response to the previous weekend's 3-2 defeat at Portsmouth.
Chris Wilder, who took over at Sheffield United in September 2025, has brought his trademark tactical flexibility to the Blades, who have the quality to switch shape in games and cause problems. Patrick Bamford has been in good form in the Championship 2026/2027 with two goals in seven games, so the hosts should have the edge in the box.
This looks like a tight game, however, with a draw or under 2.5 goals probably the best angle to take as neither side has shown enough to convince that they are much superior at this stage of the 2026/2027 campaign.
Spoils could be shared
Both teams have enough structure to keep this tight and the draw at 23/10 is too big considering United sit 11th in the table with 15 points after as many games as Wrexham in 14th with 14.
Wrexham's Kieffer Moore has been The Red Dragons' main danger man in the Championship 2026/2027 with three goals in eight games while Bamford leads the way for Wilder's side. But Kieffer Moore has scored three of their last seven goals in the last five matches, so we have a 1-1 correct score prediction here.
