Wrexham are in the thick of the League One promotion race and are fancied to register their biggest win of the season by getting the better of leaders Birmingham City at the SToK Cae Ras.
A third straight promotion looks possible for the Red Dragons, who are just three points outside of the top two with 20 matches left on their 46-game schedule.
And Wrexham’s lofty position has been underpinned by a hugely impressive home record with 38 points gathered from 14 games at their north Wales base.
However, Phil Parkison’s side were beaten 2-1 at lowly Shrewsbury last Thursday and face an acid test against the Blues, who are two points clear at the top despite having played fewer games than any of their promotion rivals.
Birmingham are unbeaten in 14 games across all competitions, although they were not at their best at the weekend when registering a 1-0 success at home to Exeter.
Wrexham draw no bet - 11/8
Wrexham have made astonishing progress in recent years and can pass a massive test by defeating Birmingham in their eagerly-anticipated clash.
A chunky transfer budget has turbo-charged Wrexham’s swift ascent from the National League to League One, but the Red Dragons find themselves in the unusual position of playing the underdog role against Birmingham, who are the biggest spenders in the history of England’s third tier.
Neither club wants to hang around in League One for any longer than they have to, but they need to keep on piling up the points because there are rival challenges being laid down by second-placed Wycombe Wanderers and fourth-placed Huddersfield Town, who are unbeaten in 16 league matches.
Birmingham are a possession-based team, who aim to stifle their opponents as much as possible.
The Blues did not face a single shot in Saturday’s 1-0 victory at home to Exeter, although they were far from fluent in their attacking play and seemed to miss the dynamism of energetic midfielders Willum Willumsson and Tomoki Iwata, who were both absent with injuries.
Defensively, Birmingham were comfortable against an Exeter team unable to create their usual passing patterns, but they face a very different test against Wrexham, who will be content to get the ball forward early and play off second balls.
Wrexham are 16th on the League One possession statistics with an average of 46.8 per cent, but they are a hugely effective team and love playing on home soil where the crowd are always right behind them.
A fascinating clash of styles seems certain, but the balance of chances could be fairly even and the prospects of a home win appear strong enough to warrant a draw no bet wager at 11/8.
Elliot Lee to score any time - 7/2
Wrexham like to rotate their centre-forwards but one of their most consistent goal threats comes from attacking midfielder Elliot Lee, who has reached double figure goal tallies in each of the last two seasons.
Lee has bagged six goals in 23 League One appearances and looks a tempting 7/2 wager to add to his total.
James McClean to be carded - 6/4
A hugely competitive contest is on the cards and that will not faze veteran Wrexham wing-back James McClean, who loves a tackle and being in the thick of the action.
McClean has racked up nine League One yellow cards this season and is a solid 6/4 shot to increase his caution count.
