Wrexham have lost only six of their 21 home league games
Stoke have been beaten in five consecutive away matches
Recommended Bet: Wrexham to win
Wrexham have slipped out of the Championship play-off positions to seventh place but their dream of an incredible fourth successive promotion remains alive.
The Red Dragons are four points behind sixth-placed Hull, so there is little room for further slip-ups, but a home match against Stoke at the Racecourse Ground provides a decent opportunity for them to collect three welcome points.
The Potters are realistically safe from promotion in 16th place, 11 points above the bottom three with four matches left, but they have won only three of their last 17 matches and have suffered five successive defeats on the road.
Team news
Wrexham will be without Zak Vyner and Ben Sheaf due to injuries, while Nathan Broadhead is a doubt due to a hamstring issue.
Josh Windass and Dominic Hyam could come into the team while Matty James should be available after an injury scare.
Stoke defender Ashley Phillips is suspended and Ben Gibson is doubtful to play due to a groin injury.
Aaron Cresswell and Syd Agina are in contention to play, along with Lamine Cisse, while Junior Tchamadeu is nearing a return to action.

Prediction
Wrexham's play-off challenge is on the ropes after they took only one point from their last three matches, but Phil Parkinson's side can keep themselves in the chase for a top-six finish by beating Stoke at home.
After being thrashed 5-1 by red-hot Southampton in their last home game, the Red Dragons suffered a further setback with a 2-0 loss at Birmingham last Sunday, but a home game against a travel-sick Stoke represents a more appealing test.
The Potters have lost five away fixtures in a row at Charlton, Coventry, Swansea, Preston and Derby, and their only three wins in their last 17 games have come against a mediocre group of Oxford, Watford and Sheffield Wednesday.
All those successes came at home and while Stoke picked up a point in their last outing with a 1-1 draw against Blackburn, it came at a cost as defender Phillips was sent off and his suspension leaves the visitors short of options at the back for this match.
Wrexham do not lack for dangerous attackers and with top-scorer Josh Windass likely to return to the starting line-up, they should have too much firepower for the makeshift visiting defence.
