Wrexham vs Middlesbrough Predictions

• Wrexham have failed to score in one of their last 14 Championship matches.
• The Red Dragons have kept just two clean sheets in their last 13 home games.
• Eight of Boro’s last nine away matches have featured at least three goals

Holding back in not an option for Wrexham

After three successive promotions, Wrexham have one game to book their place in the Championship playoffs and they have little option but to be positive when Middlesbrough make the trip to North Wales for the final day on Saturday.

It would be a huge achievement for the Red Dragons to secure a top-six finish but they could fail even if they win and Hull claim a win by a greater margin when they entertain Norwich.

So goals should be on the agenda at the Racecourse Ground and Phil Parkinson’s team will be keen to improve upon a record that has seen them win just three of their 11 games against other teams in the top seven.

Boro strong enough to make their mark

Middlesbrough’s hopes of joining champions Coventry in the automatic-promotion places look distant, but their only away defeat in their last nine was at the Sky Blues, so confidence will not be in short supply.

They have failed to find the net in just one of their last nine away games and look set to contribute, so a bet on a high-scoring game in which both teams score looks the way forward.

The home crowd could help their heroes over the line in some last-day drama, so correct-score enthusiasts are pointed towards a 2-1 Wrexham win.
