- Burnley have lost 3 of their last 5 matches, with no wins in that time (D2, L3).
- Wrexham have won one, drawn two and lost two of their last five, with a mixed set of results across 5 games in Championship 2026-2027 (W1, D2, L2).
- The Clarets have shipped 7 goals in 2 away games in the Championship 2026/2027, while the Red Dragons have conceded 3 goals at home.
Burnley are still ailing
Burnley are 23rd in the Championship 2026/2027 table with a pitiful 2 points from 4 games, and the way the table is heading, it's already beginning to flash red.
The Clarets haven't looked right for most of the season, but their latest run of fixtures was a disaster, culminating in a dismal 0-0 draw at Bradford City in the EFL Cup.
That followed a 4-1 defeat away to Norwich City and a 1-1 home draw with Middlesbrough, and it's left Nicky Hayen looking to make things right.
Direct Wrexham can hold their own
Wrexham will look to take advantage of Burnley's poor form on Tuesday, and their own set of recent results is a mixed bag, making it tricky to pick them for a direct victory.
The Red Dragons are currently 11th in the Championship 2026/2027 with five points from their opening four games, which is a solid platform from which to build.
Phil Parkinson's side have been set up in a back three system with two wing-backs, looking to control the ball and defend compactly, but also to transition quickly when they win possession.
Daniel Imray has been in excellent form, providing 2 assists in 4 Championship 2026/2027 games so far, and his deliveries and runs from the wide areas are giving Wrexham width and danger.
Kieffer Moore is the outlet for his crosses and his long throws, and the Wales international has 2 goals in Wrexham's last 5 games, so he's the best bet in the anytime goalscorer market.
Back the hosts to avoid defeat
Wrexham have won one, drawn two and lost one of their Championship 2026/2027 games, and one of those defeats was a 1-2 reverse at home to Birmingham City.
They bounced back from that defeat with a 0-3 victory at Millwall, but their home form in the Championship 2026/2027 to date has been 0 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat from 2 games, so the Racecourse Ground is not yet a fortress.
Burnley have lost both of their away Championship games and are winless away from home in the Championship 2026/2027, and with 187/100 for the visitors, we're going to take the 127/100 for Wrexham.
This has the feel of a tight game between two very different sides, but the odds make Wrexham favourites and that gives us a chance to back the home side to avoid defeat, and there's also the option of Wrexham or draw at 5/2, which makes a lot of sense.
