Sheffield United vs Wrexham predictions: Red Dragons to roar in the Steel City
James Mason
Sheffield United are 10 points off the play-off places
Wrexham are outside of the top six on goal difference
Recommended bet: Wrexham to win
Sheffield United's hopes of reaching the Championship play-off places are looking slim and they face a difficult challenge when welcoming top-six hopefuls Wrexham to Bramall Lane on Saturday afternoon.
Just two points from the last nine on offer has stunted the Blades' progress and it will be tough to get back on track when they host the Red Dragons, who recently slipped out of the play-offs positions on goal difference.

Prediction
United's hopes of reaching the top six look bleak following a three-game run without a win and their chances could be hurt further when they welcome Wrexham to the Steel City.
The Blades have struggled at home of late, with a victory over relegated Sheffield Wednesday their only success in the last four outings at Bramall Lane, and that does not bode well given how impressive the Red Dragons have been on their travels.
Phil Parkinson's side have collected 27 points from 18 away assignments – only five teams have a better record – and they have won five of their last seven road matches.
Wrexham won a thrilling Boxing Day clash 5-3 at the Racecourse Ground and, while another eight-goal contest is not expected, another win for the north Wales outfit is.
