Hammers can nick it against stubborn Wrexham
West Ham will face Wrexham on Friday and it should be a keenly contested affair at the London Stadium, England. The Hammers are 11/20 favourites to beat the Welsh outfit, who are 21/5 to win, with the draw priced at 333/100.
West Ham have won their last two games after a 1-1 draw at Watford. West Ham then saw off Wolverhampton 4-2 at home and Derby County 3-0 away to make it two wins from two in the Championship 2026-2027.
Nuno Espirito Santo has had West Ham playing his way since he took over on 27 September 2025, molding a compact side that can really sting on the break. The Hammers will test Wrexham's two wing-backs and back three in a way that no other opponents have done in the Championship 2026/2027.
Red Dragons will not lie down
Phil Parkinson has done a very good job with Wrexham since taking over on 1 July 2021 and has them playing a pragmatic system that is very difficult to break down. They can also be direct and high tempo, which should force errors in transition and create some chances, although that should also play into the hands of the hosts.
The Red Dragons thrashed Millwall 3-0 away and then held Swansea City to a 0-0 draw at Swansea.com Stadium. That was their third away fixture in the Championship 2026/2027 and they have not lost any of them, winning one and conceding only once.
Back both teams to score at London Stadium
West Ham sit eighth in the Championship 2026/2027 standings with eight points from five games, while Wrexham are 11th with six, so there is not much between them in the table. We will take West Ham to nick it because they are in the better nick and have the more proven stars, but Wrexham's away steel makes this feel more competitive than a runaway.
Over 2.5 goals at 57/100 and Both Teams to Score at 13/20 look the best way to go in this spot for a bit of a live game that should offer chances at both ends.
Kieffer Moore leads the line for Wrexham with two goals in five Championship 2026/2027 games and Daniel Imray has provided the creative spark with two assists in five fixtures. West Ham's main goal threat is Divine Mukasa, who has two in four Championship 2026/2027 fixtures.
