Coventry City v Wrexham: leaders host play-off contenders | OneFootball

Coventry City face Wrexham in the Championship on Sunday, 26 April 2026 in Coventry, with the leaders looking to tighten their grip on automatic promotion and the visitors aiming to strengthen their play-off position.

Wrexham have won the past two meetings between the sides, including a 3-2 home victory in October 2025, but this is a first v sixth clash at a pivotal stage of the run-in.

Coventry City are unbeaten in five league games, a run that includes a 5-1 win over Portsmouth and draws against Hull, Sheffield Wednesday and Blackburn. Wrexham have responded to two defeats with back-to-back victories over Stoke and at Oxford United.

Injury lists could shape selections. Coventry City have Tatsuhiro Sakamoto, goalkeeper Oliver Dovin and defender Miguel Ángel Brau sidelined. Wrexham report absences for Ben Sheaf, Zak Vyner and Liberato Cacace.

The hosts have been prolific and controlled across the season, scoring 90 goals, keeping 16 clean sheets and averaging 55% possession with 81.17% pass accuracy. Haji Wright is second in the league scoring chart with 17, supported by Brandon Thomas-Asante on 12. For Wrexham, Josh Windass has 15 and Kieffer Moore 11, and with 979 aerial duels won the visitors may relish a battle against a side with 18 headed goals.

A home win would further consolidate Coventry City's position at the top and keep them on course for promotion. Victory for Wrexham would bolster their play-off standing and provide valuable momentum heading into the final week.
