Wrexham vs Sutton United Predictions

Saturday evening brings live action from the National League, with Sutton United heading to Wales to clash with Wrexham. The pair went into the weekend already in trouble after the early stages of the new campaign, while they are now playing catch up as they kick off after their rivals. The pair will be hoping to land three points in front of the BT Sport cameras, but can the visitors turn around a terrible run of form of late? They make this trip in dire need of a result, but their recent form is a concern.

Wrexham are progressing in the Scottish Challenge Cup, having seen off Ayr on Saturday. The Welsh side are among the guests from across the UK called into the Scottish version of the Football League Trophy, which gives Wrexham an interesting test away from the National League. They must have welcomed the distraction, having taken only 10 points so far in a poor start to the new campaign.

Sutton United come into this clash without a win in five games, which has left them averaging just over a point per game so far. The visitors make this trip after holding Notts County to a 1-1 draw at the weekend, but can they secure a result in this trip? They head here with just two wins in 10 games behind them, which suggests that they could struggle to get anything out of this one. Their defensive record doesn’t exactly fill us with confidence, having conceded in 90% of their games this term.

Only Yeovil have prevented Sutton United from scoring on the road so far, while the hosts have scored in 100% of their National League games this term. They have seen 80% of their home ties finish with both teams scoring, form which carried into their 1-1 draw with Ayr last weekend. The Welsh side have now seen their last six games finish without a clean sheet, so entertainment shouldn’t be far from the Racecourse Ground this weekend.

The hosts have been scoring plenty at home this term, while they’ve been no strangers to high scoring matches. Overall, we struggle to see anything but a high scoring clash in this one. The hosts have already seen both teams score in 89% of their league games, with it landing in 70% of Sutton’s. The pair clearly have issues keeping clean sheets, while we expect that to continue into this meeting on Saturday. Both teams to score is our pick, while we are backing more problems for the visitors as we’re tipping them to lose this trip 2-1.
