Our predictions for Wrexham vs Blackburn
Match Prediction: Wrexham 2-1 Blackburn
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.

Head-to-Head Record
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.

- Predicted lineup: Okonkwo (GK), Cleworth (DF), Scarr (DF), Hyam (DF), Sheaf (MF), Longman (MF), Dobson (MF), Thomason (MF), McClean (MF), Moore (AT), Broadhead (AT)
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.
