Bitesize Prediction: Wrexham vs Birmingham – 23/01/25

Competition: League One

Market: Over 1.5 goals

Odds: 4/9 @ 1xBet

In what is a heavyweight showdown at the top of the League One table on Thursday night, Wrexham will welcome Birmingham to the Racecourse Ground.

Starting with the hosts, making an immediate return to losing ways last week as they suffered a 2-1 loss at the hands of Shrewsbury, Wrexham are seeking some welcomed stability. Getting the New Year underway with another 2-1 defeat against Barnsley, Phil Parkinson’s side have come tumbling out of the automatic promotion spots. However, despite winning just a trio of their previous seven League One appearances, the former Bolton boss will be excited to make a return to the Racecourse Ground on Thursday night. Including a 2-1 victory against Blackpool on Boxing Day, Wrexham have won all of their last three consecutive showdowns at the Racecourse Ground by an aggregate score of 5-2. In fact, Parkinson’s men have registered 22 points from their previous eight League One matchups in front of their own supporters. Despite opening the midweek fixtures sat within touching distance of breaking back into the top-two, the Red Dragons have recorded just a single clean sheet across any competition since December 10th.

As for the visitors, while Birmingham might have lost their Championship status last season, it is no secret that the Blues are pencilled in as a runaway title contender in 2025. Getting the New Year underway with a dominant display as they cruised their way to a 3-0 romp away at Wigan, Chris Davies’ men have quickly gained a fearsome reputation. Extending on their FA Cup adventure on January 11th as they clinched a 2-1 win against Lincoln, Thursday’s guests have won each of their previous four appearances across all competitions by an aggregate score of 8-2. In fact, Birmingham are unbeaten in all of their previous 14 consecutive appearances across all competitions – a run that stems all the way back to a 3-2 loss against Shrewsbury on November 23rd. Getting the midweek fixtures underway leading the chase at the top of the League One table, Davies’ side will also be excited by their most recent showdown against Wrexham. Landing a 3-1 romp when they met the Red Dragons back in September 16th, we could be treated to an enjoyable affair here.
