Wrexham vs Blackpool Match Analysis & Prediction
26/12/2024 6:00 pm
In a game that could affect the race for the title and the race for promotion, Wrexham play host to Blackpool at SToK Cae Ras on Thursday in League One.
The hosts are in third position with 42 points following their 1-1 draw with Bristol Rovers on December 21 and are just three points from leaders Birmingham City, while the visitors are 12th with 27 points and are four points from sixth-placed Lincoln City, who occupy the league’s final promotion playoff spot.
Wrexham will be disappointed that they failed to take three points from their game against Bristol Rovers considering they were winning 1-0 after 18 minutes but allowed their opponents to score an 86th-minute equaliser.
That stalemate was the Red Dragons’ second successive draw, although they did manage to win their prior five matches,
Wrexham’s record on home soil is phenomenal considering they have prevailed in 16 of their past 18 matches at home and are unbeaten on home turf since a 1-0 defeat to Tranmere Rovers in March.
Meanwhile, Blackpool played out a goalless draw with Stevenage on December 21, a game in which neither side created a single big chance.
Steve Bruce’s side have only played 20 matches in League One, one fewer than sixth-placed Lincoln City and fifth-placed Stockport County.
Blackpool’s record of 29 goals scored and 31 conceded in the third tier makes them the division’s joint eighth-best offensive and 18th-best defensive club.
The visitors have won three of their last four matches in League One, and while they have lost four of their seven most recent away game in the league, they did win their last three on the road.
Wrexham vs. Blackpool Head to head
In the previous 21 meetings between these two teams, Wrexham have claimed four victories while Blackpool have won 11, and they have drawn in six.
