Wrexham will be looking to clinch a Championship playoff berth when they take on Middlesbrough in the season's final fixture this weekend.
The Red Dragons enter the last matchday sitting sixth in the Championship standings with 70 points, ahead of Hull City solely on goal difference. Derby County trail both sides by just a single point and will be poised to capitalize on any slip-ups.
Phil Parkinson's men will be focused on controlling their own fate and find themselves in the peculiar situation where any result could either be sufficient to finish sixth or fall short of securing a playoff place. Given the various scenarios in play, Wrexham could win against Boro and still miss the playoffs, while they could also lose and still end up in sixth.
Middlesbrough currently occupy fourth place in the Championship, and while a playoff spot is already guaranteed, they still have a chance to finish as runners-up and earn automatic promotion to the Premier League.
Wrexham vs. Middlesbrough Prediction
Draw Adds Drama to Final Day
Wrexham have done remarkably well to close a four-point gap and arrive at the final day in sixth place in the Championship. The difference in quality was evident when they were beaten by title winners Coventry City last weekend, and the Red Dragons will need to perform at their peak to get a result against Middlesbrough this weekend.
Boro looked like near-certainties for automatic promotion just a few months ago before a seven-game winless streak derailed their momentum. Kim Hellberg's squad have since recovered with back-to-back wins, placing them among three clubs competing for the last automatic promotion place.
Prediction: Wrexham 2–2 Middlesbrough
Wrexham Predicted Lineup vs. Middlesbrough
Parkinson will need to select the right starting eleven if Wrexham are to come away with a victory against Middlesbrough on the Championship's final day.
Danny Ward is expected to retain his place between the posts, having featured in each of the last three matches. The back three could also remain unchanged, with veteran Dan Scarr lining up alongside Dom Hyam and Callum Doyle, while Max Cleworth is set to remain among the substitutes.
Issa Kabore and George Thomason are the natural picks at wing-back, with Matty James and George Dobson forming the preferred central midfield pairing. Josh Windass and Ollie Rathbone are anticipated to fill the attacking midfield roles behind striker Sam Smith.
Wrexham predicted lineup vs. Middlesbrough (3-4-2-1): Ward; Hyam, Scarr, Doyle; Kabore, James, Dobson, Thomason; Rathbone, Windass, Smith.
