Overview
- Kickoff is 8:00 p.m. BST at the Racecourse Ground, with live coverage in the UK on Sky Sports Football and streaming in the U.S. on Paramount+.
- Both clubs were promoted in May, yet recent form diverges with Wrexham drawing 1-1 at Leicester and Birmingham needing a 98th-minute equaliser to draw 2-2 with Sheffield Wednesday.
- Wrexham remain winless at home in the league this season but have scored in every Championship match.
- Birmingham have lost three straight away league matches without scoring, despite owning a 29-game unbeaten run at home.
- Injuries shape selection, with Wrexham missing Danny Ward, Liberato Cacace and Ollie Rathbone, and Birmingham deprived of Bright Osayi-Samuel, Jay Stansfield, Marvin Ducksch and Ethan Laird as bookmakers make the visitors slight favourites.
