Only Sheff Wed have conceded more Championship goals than Hull
Wrexham's run of nine games without defeat is longest active streak in the Championship
Recommended bet: Wrexham to win & Under 3.5 goals
Phil Parkinson's Wrexham made a slow start to life in the Championship, winning just one of their first five games, but the Red Dragons are now in sight of the top half and entered this round of games just three points from the play-off places in a heavily congested second tier table.
Hull are a point above their visitors ahead of the MKM Stadium showdown, but the Tigers have suffered back-to-back home league losses amid a run of four defeats in six games.
The pair meet on Humberside as visiting Wrexham look to continue their recent momentum.

Team news
The experienced John Lundstram remains sidelined for the home side, though the Tigers may welcome back centre-back Charlie Hughes to their starting XI, where he should partner Republic of Ireland international John Egan.
Cody Drameh, Eliot Matazo and Kasey Palmer remain on the Tigers' treatment table.
Wrexham's unbeaten run of late comes despite the likes of Elliott Lee, Liberato Cacace and Lewis Brunt being absent.
Jay Rodriquez and Andy Cannon are amongst those that could be closing in on returns.

Prediction
Wrexham had their hearts ripped out on the opening weekend of the season as they conceded two goals in the final moments of their trip to Southampton and it took the Red Dragons a few weeks to stabilise in the Championship afterwards.
They have now found their feet and are unbeaten in nine, including a win over leaders Coventry and creditable draws with Middlesbrough, Ipswich and Preston – three of the other four top five teams at the start of this midweek round of games.
They have lost just twice on the road, but conversely have managed just two wins. Their hopes of contending for the play-offs will surely rely picking up wins from occasions such as this one.
Having conceded just eight times nine away league, Parkinson's side will aim to keep Hull quiet, with under 2.5 goals prevailing in 13 of the Red Dragons' previous 14 Championship games.
Hull have leaked eight goals in three games at home, including four in the first half as Boro ran riot here on Friday. The Tigers have managed just one shutout in 10 games.
This looks like being a low-scoring battle on Humberside and the visitors' defensive resolve may help them to victory.
