Millwall v Wrexham: play-off push meets early survival fight | OneFootball

Millwall host Wrexham in the Championship at The Den on Wednesday, 2 September 2026, with the hosts looking to strengthen their play-off credentials and the visitors seeking points to move away from the relegation places.

Millwall have six points from three league games, while Wrexham are on two after three. Both meetings last season finished 2-0 to the away side, underlining how tight this fixture can be.

The Lions opened with wins at Bristol City and at home to Norwich City before a 5-1 setback at Southampton. They have scored six and conceded five in the league, while Wrexham drew with Cardiff City and Watford before losing to Birmingham City.

Injuries could shape selection. The Lions list absentees including Ryan Leonard, Alfie Doughty and Femi Azeez. Wrexham are without Ben Sheaf, Liberato Cacace and George Thomason.

The Lions average 55% possession with 80.39% passing accuracy and deliver plenty from wide areas, sending in 54 open-play crosses at 29.63% accuracy. Tairyk Arconte and Josh Coburn have two league goals each and could be the focal points again. Wrexham hold 51% of the ball, have won 63 aerial duels and may look to compete strongly in the air, with Danny Imray contributing two goal involvements so far.

A home win would lift the Lions to nine points and could firm up their place in the play-off picture. Wrexham, currently 22nd with two points, need a result to climb away from the relegation zone before travelling to Swansea City next.
