Wrexham and Burnley meet for the first time in 26 years on Tuesday and the Clarets may be left waiting for their first Championship win of the campaign.

The Lancashire club did a league double when these teams met in 1999-2000 but have struggled for form, losing 2-1 to Bristol City on Saturday and falling to the bottom of the table after Preston's win over Blackburn.

Wrexham drew 0-0 at Swansea in a tense Welsh derby late on Saturday and are 11th after a steady, if not spectacular, start to their latest attempts to make the Premier League.

Team news

Midfielder Callum O'Hare "cannot wait" to make his home debut, having been an unused substitute in Wrexham's 3-0 win at Millwall and starting Saturday's derby at Swansea.

Wing-back Liberato Cacace is yet to play this season, but Ben Sheaf and Nathan Broadhead are pushing for returns.

For Burnley, Bashir Humphreys, Jordan Beyer, Jaydon Banel, Enock Agyei, Josh Cullen and Ashley Barnes are absent.

Head coach Nicky Hayen says on-loan Denis Satpaev faces a "few weeks" out, but Lucas Pires may be ready to play after concussion protocols and Jamie Vardy could be an option after joining on a free transfer.

The stats

Burnley won 1-0 the last time they visited the Racecourse Ground in March 2000, having previously triumphed 5-0 at Turf Moor.

The Clarets have won nine of their last 10 games against Welsh teams, while Wrexham have won only one of their last six Championship fixtures against sides relegated from the Premier League the season before.

Wrexham have six points after five games and a first home win of the season could lift them into the play-off places.

Burnley have won only two points this season, both of them at home in draws against West Ham and Middlesbrough.

Prediction

Wrexham are yet to win at home this season but this looks like a prime chance to break their duck and build momentum into Friday's visit to West Ham.

However, for how poor Burnley have been, they have at least managed to score in all five of their Championship games, so they could get on the scoresheet at the Racecourse Ground.

Still, they have conceded 12 times and Wrexham's forwards should get chances.

Kieffer Moore came on after 63 minutes at Swansea but may return to the starting line-up as a straight swap for Sam Smith.

Moore averages 1.74 shots on target per 90 minutes in this season's Championship and hit the target with his only effort against the Swans.

The Wales striker could have two or more shots on target on Tuesday.

Score prediction: Wrexham 2-1 Burnley
