West Bromwich Albion v Wrexham: play-off push meets survival fight | OneFootball

West Bromwich Albion host Wrexham in the Championship at The Hawthorns on Friday, 3 April 2026, with the hosts seeking breathing space from the bottom while the visitors chase the play-offs.

West Bromwich Albion edged the reverse fixture 3-2 in August away from home, and arrive unbeaten in three league games after draws with Southampton and a pair of wins over Hull and Bristol City.

Wrexham's league form has been mixed but productive, with wins against Charlton, Swansea City and Sheffield United offset by defeats to Hull City and Watford.

Injuries could shape the selections. West Bromwich Albion list Max O'Leary, Krystian Bielik, Karlan Ahearne-Grant, Michael Johnston, Chris Mepham and Tammer Bany as out. Wrexham have Matty James, Kieffer Moore, Ben Sheaf and Liberato Cacace sidelined. Moore has 11 league goals and Josh Windass has 10 (per the latest rankings), while Johnston leads the league with nine assists.

Season profiles point to contrasting routes. West Bromwich Albion average one goal per game with 51% possession and 81.24% pass accuracy, and have kept nine clean sheets. Wrexham score 1.5 per game with 48% possession and 77.87% pass accuracy, and have 10 clean sheets. Both sides deliver heavy crossing volume (604 and 603 open-play crosses respectively) and offer aerial threat, with 11 and 16 headed goals, so wide service could be decisive.

West Bromwich Albion start 20th on 43 points and a win would push them further from the relegation places. Wrexham sit seventh with 63 points and, with victory, could move into the play-off spots depending on other results.
