Our predictions for Wrexham vs Queens Park Rangers
Match Prediction: Wrexham 2-1 Queens Park Rangers
Wrexham's recent form has been somewhat inconsistent, but they've shown they can secure a win with their victory at Millwall. They'll be looking to exploit QPR's shaky defence, especially after their 7-1 thrashing vs Coventry. Wrexham's attack, led by Kieffer Moore, could cause problems if they remain composed.
QPR have had a mixed bag of results lately. They've got the firepower to score, as seen against Charlton, but their defence is a worry. If they can shore up at the back, they might just pull off a surprise. But it's going to be a tough ask against a Wrexham side eager to continue their recent unbeaten run.
Form Guide & Team Overview
Wrexham
Wrexham's recent results show they can be a bit unpredictable. They've managed a solid win away at Millwall, which is promising, but losses at home to West Brom and away at Southampton are a concern. If they can replicate their performance against Millwall, they stand a good chance here. Consistency will be key for them to get the three points.
Recent Championship Results:
Win: 2-0 vs Millwall (A)
Draw: 2-2 vs Sheffield Wednesday (H)
Loss: 2-3 vs West Bromwich Albion (H)
Loss: 1-2 vs Southampton (A)
Queens Park Rangers
QPR have had a rollercoaster of a season so far. That 3-1 win over Charlton shows they can score goals, but the 7-1 loss to Coventry is a red flag for their defence. They'll need to tighten up at the back if they want to get anything from this game. Their away form also needs serious improvement.

Lineups & Tactical Setup
Prediction - Wrexham (3-1-4-2)
Okonkwo, Cleworth, Coady, Doyle, James, Longman, Dobson, O'Brien, Cacace, Hardie, Moore
Wrexham's predicted lineup suggests they'll rely on the experience of players like Conor Coady and Matty James to control the centre of the pitch. They will look to the powerful Kieffer Moore to influence their attacking strategy.
They made some interesting signings in the transfer window, including Ben Sheaf (from Coventry City), Dominic Hyam (Blackburn Rovers) and Issa Kaboré, a loanee from Manchester City. Any or all of these could feature.
Prediction - Queens Park Rangers (4-2-3-1)
Walsh, Dunne, Morrison, Mbengue, Norrington-Davies, Varane, Madsen, Dembélé, Vale, Smyth, Kone
QPR's predicted lineup indicates they'll look to Karamoko Dembélé and Paul Smyth to provide creativity and pace on the wings. The tenacity of their defending may be crucial, especially if Wrexham start to pile on the pressure.
New signing Isak Alemayehu, a Swedish midfield playmaker, could appear for the first time for QPR here.
Key Battles & Players to Watch
Conor Coady vs Richard Kone: Coady's experience will be crucial in marshalling Wrexham's defence against Kone’s attacking threat.
Kieffer Moore vs Joe Walsh: Walsh is a good goalkeeper, but he will be under pressure from Kieffer Moore’s imposing physical presence on the day.
Arthur Okonkwo (Wrexham): Okonkwo's goalkeeping could be the difference for Wrexham in this match.
Karamoko Dembélé (Queens Park Rangers): Dembélé's creativity and pace on the wing could unlock Wrexham's defence.
