Wrexham v Ipswich Town: play-off push meets promotion chase | OneFootball

Wrexham host Ipswich Town in the Championship on Saturday, 21 February 2026 in Wrexham, with the hosts eyeing the play-off places and the visitors looking to strengthen their top-six grip.

Wrexham are unbeaten in two meetings this season, drawing 0-0 away in November's league game and winning 1-0 in the FA Cup last week. Ipswich Town arrive fourth, while the hosts sit seventh.

Recent form points to a tight game. Wrexham have won at Queens Park Rangers and Sheffield Wednesday, drawn at Bristol City and lost at home to Millwall, plus that FA Cup win over these opponents. The Tractor Boys beat Bristol City and won at Derby, drew with Preston, and lost at Sheffield United before their cup defeat in north Wales.

Team news could shape selections. Wrexham list Matty James, Liberato Cacace and Lewis Brunt as injured. The Tractor Boys have Ashley Young and Conor Townsend sidelined in defence, with Wesley Burns and Jaden Philogene out in attack.

Styles contrast. Wrexham have scored 10 headed goals and deliver plenty from wide areas with 20.91% cross accuracy in open play, a route that could suit Kieffer Moore, who has 10 league goals. The Tractor Boys average 56% possession with 81.66% passing accuracy and carry threats through Jack Clarke on 12 Championship goals and creator Marcelino Núñez with eight assists.

A home win would lift Wrexham to 51 points and could move them into the play-off spots. Victory for the Tractor Boys would take them to 57 points and further cement their place in the promotion picture.
