Our prediction for this League 1 match:
Racecourse Ground will host a postponed League One game between Wrexham and Birmingham City. The Dragons are on a three-game winning run at home, but they face a tough challenge against the league leaders. Forward Paul Mullin is widely expected to return to the starting XI, while there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
The Blues, on the other hand, are on a four-game winning run in all competitions. Birmingham City aim to retain top position in the standings, but given Wrexham’s fine home record, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. Bearing any fresh injury concerns, Birmingham boss Chris Davies is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated Exeter City at the weekend. Alfie May should continue leading the line for the visiting team despite failing to find the net in the last league match.
Highlighted Team (Birmingham City):
Birmingham City are a club located in the city of Birmingham, England. Birmingham City were founded in 1875 as Small Heath Alliance, but the club’s named was changed to Small Heath in 1888. 17 years later they became Birmingham and in 1943 they finally changed their name to Birmingham City.
The Blues welcome their rivals at St. Andrew’s, the stadium that was opened in 1906. Birmingham City compete in the Championship and their fiercest rivals are WBA and Aston Villa. The Blues made it to the FA Cup final twice, but they have yet to win the prestigious trophy. In 1931 they were beaten by their local rivals WBA in the title game (1-2), whilst in 1956 they were outplayed by Manchester City in the title game.
The colour of Birmingham’s home kit is blue with white stripe. Trevor Francis, Gil Merrick, Bob Latchford, Jeff Hall, Alex Govan, Joe Bradford and Christophe Dugarry are notable footballers who played for the St. Andrew’s outfit in the past.
