West Brom started the season on a positive note, edging Blackburn Rovers 1-0 thanks to an early Isaac Price strike. However, they suffered Carabao Cup disappointment on Tuesday, losing to Derby County on penalties after a 1-1 draw.
Carlos Corberán’s men have struggled on the road in 2025, failing to win an away game across all competitions since October last year. They will also be without Daryl Dike due to a thigh injury, although Darnell Furlong is available again after serving his suspension in midweek.
MatchPlug Prediction For Wrexham vs West Bromwich Albion
Wrexham’s attacking form at home and West Brom’s ongoing struggles on their travels point towards a tight contest. The hosts will be motivated to impress in their Championship return, but the Baggies’ experience could balance the scales. A draw looks the most likely outcome.
Final Prediction: Draw
