Match Prediction: Wrexham 2-1 Birmingham City

Wrexham's recent form suggests they're tough to beat, drawing against strong sides like Leicester and Derby. They've shown they can nick wins away from home too, beating Norwich and Millwall. Look for Wrexham to press high and exploit any defensive errors from Birmingham, who've struggled on the road lately.

Birmingham City, it has to be said, have been inconsistent, with a mix of draws and losses. Their only recent win came at home against Swansea, but they've been leaky at the back, especially away. This could be a game where Wrexham's attacking flair meets Birmingham's defensive frailties.

Wrexham's recent results show a team that's hard to beat, with two draws and two wins in their last five games. They've managed to score in every match, which bodes well for their attacking threat against Birmingham. Their ability to grind out results against tough opposition could give them the edge in this one.

• Draw: 1-1 vs Leicester City (A)

• Draw: 1-1 vs Derby County (H)

• Win: 3-2 vs Norwich City (A)

• Loss: 1-3 vs Queens Park Rangers (H)

• Win: 2-0 vs Millwall (A)

Birmingham City's form has been up and down, with only one win in their last five games. They've struggled particularly away from home, losing their last three on the road. This inconsistency might make it tough for them to keep Wrexham's attack at bay.

• Draw: 2-2 vs Sheffield Wednesday (H)

• Loss: 0-3 vs Coventry City (A)

• Win: 1-0 vs Swansea City (H)

• Loss: 0-1 vs Stoke City (A)

• Loss: 0-2 vs Leicester City (A)

• Predicted lineup: Okonkwo, Cleworth, Hyam, Brunt, Kaboré, Dobson, Sheaf, Longman, Windass, O’Brien, Moore

Wrexham's predicted lineup suggests they'll continue their high-pressing game, with Moore and Longman leading the charge up front. The midfield trio of Dobson, Sheaf, and O'Brien will be key in controlling the game's tempo.

• Predicted lineup: Allsop, Osayi-Samuel, Klarer, Robinson, Cochrane, Iwata, Paik, Gray, Stansfield, Koumas, Ducksch

Birmingham's predicted lineup indicates they'll rely on Ducksch and Gray to provide defensive stability. Iwata and Stansfield in midfield will need to be at their best to break up Wrexham's attacks.

• Kieffer Moore vs Christoph Klarer: This duel will see Wrexham's forward trying to out-think and outmaneuvre Birmingham's dominant centre-back.

• George Dobson vs Tomoki Iwata: Wrexham's Dobson will look to win the midfield battle against his tenacious counterpart from Birmingham.

• Lewis O’Brien (Wrexham): His work-rate and athleticism will make him a constant threat to Birmingham's defence.

• Ryan Allsop (Birmingham City): This may be a busy game for the Birmingham goalkeeper, so his shot-stopping could prove crucial to the outcome.
