Middlesbrough round off their 2025-26 Championship regular-season campaign traveling to face Wrexham at Racecourse Ground on Saturday. The Boro could still secure automatic promotion to the Premier League with a win against the Reds, should results elsewhere go their way. What are their chances heading into this clash? Here is our prediction.
After a seven-match winless run nearly derailed their push for automatic promotion to the Premier League, Middlesbrough finally returned to track in the top-two race with back-to-back wins in their last two games. This includes a 5–1 demolition of 16th-placed Watford in the penultimate fixture last week.
Interestingly, last week's win moved Kim Hellberg's side to fourth in the standings with 79 points – just two points adrift of second-placed Ipswich Town, and a win on Saturday could boost their top-two chances. However, they have dropped points in their last three away matches (D3) and faced a severe challenge against in-form newcomers Wrexham.
Wrexham have stolen the headlines with an impressive Championship debut and will look to finish the job in Saturday's showdown. The Reds' 3–1 defeat to runaway champions Coventry City last week left them with just a one-point cushion in the top-six race.
Phil Parkinson's charges needs a win, or at least avoid defeat, to stand a chance of making the top six. They held Middlesbrough to a 1–1 draw away in the reverse fixture and have won two of their last three home matches.
