Wrexham v Birmingham: unbeaten starts meet as both chase first win | OneFootball

Wrexham face Birmingham City in the Championship at the Racecourse Ground on Friday, 28 August 2026, with both teams unbeaten and seeking a first league victory after two draws apiece.

Wrexham are yet to beat Birmingham City in the last four meetings, with two 1-1 draws at the Racecourse Ground and two wins for the visitors, including a 2-0 home success in April 2026.

Wrexham opened with 1-1 draws at Cardiff City and at home to Watford. Birmingham drew 0-0 at Sheffield United before a 2-2 against Bristol City, and fell 6-1 to Brentford in the EFL Cup days later.

Wrexham list Josh Windass, Ben Sheaf, Liberato Cacace and George Thomason as injured. Birmingham are without Max Bird and Taylor Gardner-Hickman.

Season trends point to a contrast in approach. Wrexham have attempted 23 shots with 80.81% passing accuracy and 46% possession, while Birmingham average 59% possession, have delivered 43 open-play crosses at 23.26% accuracy, and taken 13 shots with one clean sheet. The game could hinge on Birmingham's ball control and supply from wide against Wrexham's greater shot volume.

Both sides sit mid-table, Wrexham 13th and Birmingham 14th on two points. A win would take either to five points and could move them into the top half and towards the early play-off picture. Wrexham then travel to Millwall, while Birmingham host Southampton next.
