Boreham Wood handed Wrexham a favour on Saturday after they beat Stockport County. The Dragons will not be as charitable when they play host to the hosts on Monday, with kickoff at 5 pm.
Despite their position in the National League table, Boreham Wood still has an outside chance of reaching the playoffs.
A playoff finish may seem unlikely, but Boreham Wood will be looking to clinch maximum points to give themselves the best possible chance.
Boreham Wood’s season promised so much more when they occupied the third position at the end of February, but a 10-game winless league run saw them plummet down the National League table. Two wins from their previous three matches will encourage the Wood, and their latest victory would certainly provide a confidence boost.
Luke Garrard’s Boreham Wood beat Stockport 2-1 at Edgeley Park on Saturday, with goals from Dennon Lewis and Jamal Fyfield, to clinch back-to-back victories for the first time this season.
Stockport’s loss to Boreham Wood allowed Wrexham to reduce the gap at the top of the National League to one point. Although Wrexham still has a game in hand, it will be looking nervously over its shoulder as it heads towards an all-important meeting with Maidstone United.

Garrard may reward those who started against Stockport by naming an unchanged lineup for Monday’s contest, although Scott Boden will be looking to add to the 11 league goals he has scored this season when he partners Tyrone Marsh in the frontline.
Wrexham Team News
Wrexham manager Andy Morrell is expected to name an unchanged starting XI in his team to face Grimsby, with Callum McFadzean and Aaron Hayden unavailable due to injury issues. Palmer and Paul Mullin could also continue their prolific partnership up front, having scored 27 league goals this season.
