Our next match prediction comes from the Championship, with Wrexham hosting Leicester City. The two teams drew 1-1 earlier in the season at the King Power and both still harbour genuine ambitions for a playoff spot. Will the Red Dragons or Foxes emerge from this midweek clash with the points?
A look at the league table doesn't clarify that issue particularly. Both teams have played 27 games in the league this season with Wrexham lying 10th in the table on 40 points, three behind Preston in sixth - the final Playoff spot. Leicester City are 13th with 37 points, three behind Wrexham and with a goal difference seven worse than their hosts tonight.
Wrexham had enjoyed a fine run of five wins, including a 5-3 win over Sheffield United and a 2-1 win over Preston both at home, plus away wins at Blackburn Rovers (2-0) and then at Derby County (2-1). They then drew 3-3 with Nottingham Forest in the FA Cup, winning 4-3 on penalties, but lost at home to Norwich at the weekend 2-1.
Leicester's form in 2026 began with a New Year's Day defeat, 3-1 at Sheffield United. However, they did follow that with a 2-1 home win over West Brom and then a 2-0 away win at Cheltenham in the FA Cup Third Round. However, at the weekend, they went down to a 2-1 loss away to Coventry City

Our Wrexham vs Leicester Prediction
Our prediction for the Wrexham vs. Leicester City Championship match is: Wrexham wins.
The data for this intriguing Championship match is somewhat enlightening. Wrexham's home form is decent, as is their recent form (last Saturday's defeat apart), while Leicester's away form has been shocking for a while. Wrexham score plenty at home, Leicester concede plenty on the road. A win for either side will be important in terms of their league position, but with a full Racecourse Ground behind them, we expect Wrexham's firepower to win the day.
