Wrexham Takes On Birmingham: Bold Predictions, TV Channels, and Live Stream Guide

Wrexham are aiming to claim their first Championship victory of the season when they host Birmingham City on Friday evening.

Phil Parkinson's men have performed admirably in their opening stalemates against Cardiff City and Watford, yet were unable to convert their periods of control into wins on either occasion. The Red Dragons will draw confidence from those displays and look to build on that momentum this weekend.

Birmingham arrive at the fixture on their own run without a win, having shared the spoils twice in the Championship this term before suffering a heavy 6-1 defeat to Brentford in the Carabao Cup. Wrexham have gone without a victory in their last four encounters with the Blues (D2, L2) and will be eager to make their mark on the big occasion.

Wrexham vs. Birmingham Score Prediction

Red Dragons Get First Win

Wrexham will look to capitalise on playing at home. The Red Dragons understand that a solid home record will be crucial to their push for promotion to the Premier League, though they have drawn both of their previous home fixtures against Birmingham.

Parkinson's squad will be missing the injured trio of Liberato Cacace, George Thomason and Ben Sheaf on Friday night, though Josh Windass could make his first appearance of the campaign. Wrexham also anticipate that new arrivals Jacques Ekomié and Issa Kaboré will feature.

Prediction: Wrexham 2-0 Birmingham City

Wrexham Predicted Lineup vs. Birmingham

Wrexham will be compelled to make at least one alteration after Thomason picked up a thigh injury expected to sideline him for around 10 weeks.

Anthony Patterson is set to retain his spot between the posts, with a back three of Callum Doyle, Dom Hyam and Zak Vyner anticipated once more. Danny Imray will keep his place at right wingback following his maiden Wrexham goal against Watford last weekend.

Ekomié could be handed a debut on the left flank if he is deemed fit, with Kaboré also expected to feature in the squad. Lewis O'Brien will line up in midfield alongside either Matty James or Ben Whiteman.

Nathan Broadhead will occupy one of the attacking midfield positions, with Ollie Rathbone likely to fill the other. Windass should be fit enough to earn a spot on the bench, while Kieffer Moore remains the frontrunner for the striker position.

Wrexham predicted lineup vs. Birmingham (3-4-2-1): Patterson; Vyner, Hyam, Doyle; Imray, Whiteman, O'Brien, Ekomié; Rathbone, Broadhead; Moore.

Birmingham Predicted Lineup vs. Wrexham

Birmingham rotated heavily during their midweek thrashing by Brentford and are expected to restore the starting eleven that drew 2-2 with Bristol City the previous weekend.

James Beadle will reclaim his place in goal, with Phil Neumann and Christoph Klarer forming the central defensive partnership in front of him. Bright Osayi-Samuel is likely to be deployed in the makeshift right back position again, with Alexander Cochrane operating on the opposite flank.

Tomoki Iwata is expected to feature in central midfield alongside Jhon Solis, while Patrick Roberts could earn a starting berth against the club he netted against last season. Jay Stansfield and August Priske are anticipated to lead the attacking line.

Birmingham predicted lineup vs. Wrexham (4-2-3-1): Beadle; Osayi-Samuel, Neumann, Klarer, Cochrane; Iwata, Solis; Roberts, Paik, Stansfield; Priske.
