• Fixture: Wrexham vs Blackburn
• Date: Saturday, 29 November 2025
• Kick-off: 15:00 GMT
• Venue: Racecourse Ground

Wrexham come into this match with a solid run of form, having won three of their last five games and drawn the other two. Their home form has been particularly strong, with convincing wins against Bristol City and Coventry. With a predicted 3-1-4-2 formation, they'll look to control the midfield and exploit the flanks with players like McClean and Longman, potentially creating chances for Moore and Broadhead up top.

Blackburn, on the other hand, have had a mixed bag recently, with two wins, two losses, and a defeat in their last outing against QPR. Their away form has been decent, but they'll need to be wary of Wrexham's attacking threat. With a 3-4-1-2 setup, Blackburn will rely on the creativity of Hedges and the solidity of their back three to counter Wrexham's momentum. This match could be closely contested, but Wrexham's home advantage might just tip the scales.

Wrexham have been in fine fettle lately, securing three wins and two draws in their recent outings. Their home form has been particularly impressive, with victories against Bristol City and Coventry, showcasing their ability to dominate at the Racecourse Ground. This run of form should give them a significant boost in confidence and momentum heading into this match against Blackburn.

Blackburn's recent form has been a bit of a rollercoaster, with two wins, two losses, and a defeat in their last five games. Their away form has been a bright spot, with wins against Preston, Bristol City, and Leicester. However, their most recent loss at home to QPR might have dented their confidence slightly. They'll need to regroup quickly to challenge a strong Wrexham side on their home turf.

Recent Championship Results:

• Loss: 0-1 vs QPR (H)
• Win: 2-1 vs Preston (A)
• Loss: 1-2 vs Derby (H)
• Win: 1-0 vs Bristol City (A)
• Win: 2-0 vs Leicester (A)

The head-to-head record between these two teams shows a convincing victory for Blackburn in their last encounter, a 4-1 win over Wrexham in the FA Cup on 29 January 2024. This result suggests that Blackburn has historically had the upper hand, but Wrexham's recent form suggests they could be a different proposition this time around. It will be interesting to see if Wrexham can overturn their previous defeat and make a statement in this match.

Wrexham's predicted 3-1-4-2 formation will see them anchor the midfield with Sheaf, allowing Longman and McClean to push forward and support the attack. This setup should enable them to control the game's tempo and create scoring opportunities for Moore and Broadhead.

• Predicted lineup: Pears (GK), Miller (DF), McLoughlin (DF), Pratt (DF), Alebiosu (MF), Gardner-Hickman (MF), Montgomery (MF), Hedges (MF), Morishita (MF), Ohashi (AT), Guðjohnsen (AT)

Blackburn's expected 3-4-1-2 formation will rely on the defensive solidity of Miller, McLoughlin, and Pratt, while Alebiosu and Hedges provide width and creativity from the midfield. This setup should allow them to counter Wrexham's attacking threat and look for opportunities on the break.

• Moore vs Pratt: Kieffer Moore's physical presence and aerial ability will be a significant test for George Pratt's defensive skills.

• Dobson vs Montgomery: George Dobson's dynamism and work rate will be crucial in his battle against Kristi Montgomery's midfield control.

• McClean (Wrexham): James McClean's experience and ability to deliver dangerous crosses will be vital for Wrexham's attacking threat.

• Hedges (Blackburn): Ryan Hedges' creativity and flair in midfield will be key for Blackburn to unlock Wrexham's defence.
