Wrexham v Burnley: steady start meets early relegation fight | OneFootball

Wrexham host Burnley in the Championship on Tuesday, 8 September 2026 at the Racecourse Ground, with the hosts aiming to build on a solid opening while the bottom-placed visitors chase a first league win.

Wrexham have one victory, four draws and one defeat from six, including a 3-0 win at Millwall and a goalless draw at Swansea City last time out. Burnley are winless in six league matches with three draws and three defeats, and were beaten 2-1 by Bristol City after a penalty shootout exit to Bradford City in the EFL Cup.

Phil Parkinson's side are without Ben Sheaf, Liberato Cacace and George Thomason. The Clarets miss midfielder Joshua Cullen, defenders Louis Jodan Beyer and Bashir Humphreys, plus Ashley Barnes, Jaydon Banel and Enock Agyei.

Wrexham's season numbers point to a disciplined defence, with two clean sheets and only four goals conceded across five recorded games, while Kieffer Moore already has two league goals. The Clarets have conceded 12 in five and are yet to keep a clean sheet, but their 83.28% passing accuracy suggests they may look to control possession for longer spells, with Zeki Amdouni a potential focal point.

Wrexham sit 11th on seven points and a home win could nudge them towards the play-off picture. The Clarets are 24th with three points. Victory would cut the gap to the sides above and offer much-needed momentum in the relegation fight.
