Wrexham – Derby

Wrexham host Derby in what promises to be a pivotal clash for both sides as the season reaches its midway point. The home side sit 19th in the table with seven points from eight games, having recorded one win, four draws and two defeats while scoring seven and conceding eleven. Derby, languishing in 22nd place, have managed only four points from seven matches, their lone victory and draw offset by five losses and a goal deficit of six for and 13 against. With Wrexham needing to turn their negative goal difference around and Derby desperate for any points to climb out of the relegation zone, the encounter could prove decisive for their survival hopes. Both clubs will be keen to improve on their recent head‑to‑head record, which has offered little relief this campaign.
