Wrexham vs Derby County kicks off today at 12:30 pm BST at the STōK Cae Ras in North Wales, a Championship fixture that pits Phil Parkinson’s promotion hopefuls against John Eustace’s relegation-threatened Rams. Sky Sports+ will carry the match live in the UK, with streaming available on Sky Go and NOW. Momentum and form • Wrexham have taken seven points from their last four league games and are fresh off a 2-0 EFL Cup win over Reading. • Derby sit 22nd with one win in six but have travelled well, beating West Brom and drawing at Ipswich. • Historical edge belongs to Derby, who won the most recent meeting 3-1 in the 2007 FA Cup and have not lost a league game to Wrexham since 1982. Key statistics • Wrexham home record: W1 D1 L2 this term, but they had lost only two of the previous 27 league games at the Racecourse. • Derby away record: W1 D2 L1 in their last four Championship trips. • Wrexham’s 115 shots faced is the highest in the division, yet Derby’s 42 shots attempted is the lowest. Projected line-ups Wrexham (3-4-2-1): Okonkwo; Cleworth, Hyam, Brunt; Kaboré, Dobson, Sheaf, Longman; Windass, O’Brien; Moore. Derby (3-4-2-1): Widell-Zetterström; Sanderson, Clarke, Forsyth; Johnston, Travis, Adams, Agyemang; Weimann, Brereton; Morris. Players to watch • Josh Windass – the Wrexham skipper has three goals in four appearances and thrives between the lines. • Ben Brereton Díaz – Derby’s summer marquee signing scored the winner at West Brom and offers pace on the break. • Arthur Okonkwo vs Jonas Widell-Zetterström – both goalkeepers are among the league’s busiest shot-stoppers. Tactical snapshot Parkinson’s 3-4-2-1 relies on wing-backs Ryan Longman and Issa Kaboré to pin Derby deep, creating space for Windass and Lewis O’Brien to combine behind Kieffer Moore. Eustace mirrors the shape but will compress central areas, looking to release Brereton and Agyemang in transition. Derby’s low shot volume suggests a counter-punching plan; Wrexham’s high shots-against tally means concentration lapses could be costly. Betting odds (bet365) Wrexham 11/10 | Draw 23/10 | Derby 5/2 (subject to change). Prediction Home advantage and superior recent form tilt the scales toward Wrexham, but Derby’s effectiveness on the road and set-piece threat keep this tight. Wrexham 2-1 Derby County.
