Key Statistics
Wrexham have yet to win a competitive match this season, but they have also avoided defeat in their first two league games.
Their two Championship fixtures have both finished 1–1, indicating a relatively controlled start.
Birmingham have scored in both league matches but have also conceded twice against Bristol City and six against Brentford.
The six-goal cup defeat is particularly concerning for a defence that now has to visit a Wrexham side capable of exploiting transition situations.
Team News
Wrexham are expected to largely retain the XI that drew with Watford. Liberato Cacace and Josh Windass are ruled out, while Danny Imray is expected to continue at right-back after scoring the equaliser against Watford. Kieffer Moore could start ahead of Sam Smith.
Birmingham are expected to rely heavily on Demarai Gray, who has already scored against both Brentford and Bristol City.
Jay Stansfield should occupy an attacking role, but Max Bird is unavailable.
Birmingham's predicted XI also shows Iwata and Solis providing the central midfield base behind Gray and Stansfield.
Prediction Analysis
Given that both sides are struggling to win but they manage to score in their matches. I think the best outcome for this game is the over 1.5 goals prediction.
For alternatives, one could back both teams to score.
