  • Recommended bet: Wrexham Half-Time/Full-Time

Wrexham have forced their way into the play-off spots in the Championship and the Red Dragons have a great chance to consolidate their place as they make the trip to doomed Sheff Wed for this Saturday lunchtime engagement.

Phil Parkinson's side scored two stoppage-time goals to get the better of QPR 3-2 at Loftus Road last weekend.

Wednesday, meanwhile, have lost seven games in a row in league and cup and have gone 660 minutes without troubling the scoreboard.

Team news

In a season of unmatched misery, the Owls have been dealt their latest blow as skipper Barry Bannan this week sealed a switch to Millwall after a decade at Hillsborough.

Full-back Yan Valery missed the defeat against Bristol City and remains a doubt, though Jarvis Thornton could be in contention for a return to the starting XI.

Ollie Rathbone and Josh Windass were introduced as late subs for Wrexham at QPR and both scored in a dramatic late turnaround.

They will be hoping to earn starts, while Max Clemworth could return in defence and the likes of Aaron James, Lewis Brunt and Danny Ward are all training after their injury problems.

The stats

Wednesday have lost 11 of their 15 home league games (D4) and the Owls have gone 660 minutes of league and cup football without scoring a goal.

Wednesday have scored less (18) and conceded more (56) goals in 28 Championship games than any of their 23 rivals.

Wrexham are going for a fourth successive away league victory.

The Red Dragons led 2-0 at the break in the reverse game in August, only to draw 2-2.

Kieffer Moore scored twice in that game, taking his record to three in his last five games against Wednesday.

Prediction

Losing skipper Bannan to Millwall in midweek was another cruel blow in what has been lamentable season for Wednesday.

Henrik Pedersen's men are winless in 22 games in the Championship, gaining maximum points just once in 28 attempts and they are yet to record a home league win.

Wrexham won just two of their first 11 away league games after returning to the second tier, but the Red Dragons are now going for four in a row on the road and opportunities do not come much better than a trip to Hillsborough.

Wrexham were good value for a 2-0 half-time lead at the Racecourse Ground in August before they faltered in the second half and squandered their lead.

Their trio of recent away league wins shows the progress they have made since, so expect the Welsh outfit to get on the front foot early and dominate this contest.
