Preview

Wrexham responded well after going behind in the 14th minute against Watford last time out, striking back eight minutes later to claim a point on home soil. The Red Dragons are still looking for their first competitive victory of the 2026/27 campaign heading into gameweek three.

Like their hosts, Birmingham are winless in the Championship this term with back-to-back draws to their name to kick off the campaign. However, the Blues must now avenge a humiliating 6-1 home defeat to Brentford in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday night.
