- Shrewsbury have lost just one of their last six league visits to Wrexham (W3, D2, L1).
- Both teams have scored in five of their last six meetings at the Racecourse Ground.

Prediction
With confidence still high for Wrexham and just two home defeats in 2024, they certainly have to be favourites here given their momentum and goalscoring threats across the entire pitch.
Shrewsbury meanwhile might of started the season slowly but their win over Leyton Orient will give them a confidence boost, especially given their recent record in this fixture.
Wrexham though do look the stronger team quality wise and I do expect that to show, but the Shrews nevertheless should at least give them a proper fight for the win but I can see a routine result coming.
Prediction: Wrexham 2-0 Shrewsbury
Result: Wrexham 3-0 Shrewsbury
