Wrexham’s return to the Championship hasn’t been smooth. They opened with a 2-1 defeat to Southampton before losing 3-2 at home to West Bromwich Albion. The only positive came in the League Cup, where they edged Hull City on penalties.
Despite their defensive lapses, Wrexham have scored in every game so far, suggesting they’ll cause problems for a leaky Sheffield Wednesday backline.

Sheffield Wednesday’s struggles continue as they sit bottom of the table. They lost 2-1 to Leicester on opening day and then fell apart in a 3-0 defeat against Stoke City. The Owls did show some fight in the League Cup, beating Bolton on penalties after a 3-3 draw, but in the league they’ve now managed just one win in 11 matches.
Defensive issues are glaring, with eight goals conceded already this season.
MatchPlug Prediction Wrexham vs Sheffield Wednesday
This clash has all the makings of a high-scoring affair given both teams’ defensive frailties. Wrexham look more dangerous going forward and will have the home crowd behind them, while Sheffield Wednesday’s lack of cutting edge is worrying.
Final Prediction: Wrexham Moneyline
