Wrexham vs Sheffield Wednesday Predictions

• Both teams have scored in six of Sheffield Wednesday’s last seven matches
• The Owls have won just one of their last 11 Championship games
• Wrexham have scored at least twice in eight of their last 11 outings

Wrexham finding life tough in second tier

Wrexham stormed through three successive promotions to reach the second tier for the first time in more than a generation, but they have already discovered that getting out of the Championship will not be easy.

The Red Dragons were unfortunate to concede two late goals in their opening-weekend defeat at Southampton and they were exposed again when lost 3-2 to West Brom last week, but hopes will be high that they can gain their first league victory of the campaign against troubled Sheffield Wednesday.

Phil Parkinson’s team have scored at least twice in all but three of their last 11 games and showed plenty of fight to claw their way back against Hull in the League Cup with two late goals, eventually progressing via a penalty shootout, and they will probably feel they are not far off.

Owls need to bounce back after poor Stoke show

Off-the-field financial problems have dominated life at Hillsborough over the last few months and after showing plenty of fight in their opening loss to relegated Leicester, the Owls need to find some steel after a limp performance in a 3-0 loss to Stoke last week.

With wages having not been paid and other issues surrounding the club, it is little surprise that morale is low, but they showed enough in their trip to the King Power that they can create chances and score goals.

This looks likely to be a high-scoring game, so it could pay to back there to be more than two goals, while correct-score punters may wish to take a chance on a 3-2 Wrexham win.
