Wrexham host Hull in a huge Sky Bet Championship clash in the race for promotion.
Victory will lift Wrexham above Hull into fifth in the table, whilst Hull can stay fifth if avoid defeat.

Stat Attack
- Wrexham have won one of their last five league meetings against Hull (W1, D2, L2).
- Hull are winless in their last 10 league visits to Wrexham (D3, L7).
- Oli McBurnie has scored in both of Hull’s two previous meetings against Wrexham this season in all competitions, having drawn 3-3 away in first round of Carabao Cup then won 2-0 at home in the league.
- Wrexham have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last nine league matches at home (W4, D3, L2).
- Hull haven’t lost three consecutive league matches since a six-match streak between November – December 2024.
Prediction
Having found themselves harshly denied a late equaliser by VAR in their eventual defeat to Chelsea, Wrexham now need to dust themselves down and produce another energetic counter-attacking display, but fitness could well be an issue as the game wears on so I expect some rotation here.
Hull meanwhile have hit a stumbling block with defeats in their last two matches against Ipswich and Millwall which has pretty much finished their automatic promotion dreams barring a miracle, so a win here is imperative if they’re at least stay on the fringes of that scrap.
There is however no getting away from how contrastable those defeats were because they were outplayed at Ipswich with little quality, yet dominated Millwall without much clinical end product which summed up their wastefulness in both games.
On that note, I do expect this to be a tough scrap because Wrexham can boost their play-off ambitions with a win, but Hull ideally know that only victory would keep them hanging in the automatic promotion picture so a draw looks a fair guess.
Prediction: Wrexham 1-1 Hull
Result: Wrexham 1-2 Hull
