Wrexham Vs Birmingham Preview
Among the contenders in the EFL Championship promotion odds betting market, Ryan Reynolds’ Wrexham have made a slightly lethargic start to the season. A 1-0 defeat to Middlesbrough in the League Cup was followed up with successive 1-1 draws against Cardiff and Watford.
Where Birmingham are concerned, their 6-1 trouncing by Brentford in the Cup has left supporters questioning Chris Davies’ long-term future at St Andrews. On MD1, the Blues drew 0-0 away to Sheffield Utd before being held 2-2 by Bristol City on Saturday. Hardly the worst start to the season – in the league, anyhow – but a positive result here will surely ease the calls for Davies’ departure.

Wrexham Vs Birmingham Team News
Phil Parkinson could be tempted to name the same XI who drew with Watford last weekend. That would mean Kieffer Moore starts up top over Sam Smith. Liberato Cacace and Josh Windass are ruled out injured and Danny Imray – who netted the equaliser against the Hornets – will occupy the right-back spot.
Meanwhile, Birmingham will put their faith in Demarai Gray after the 2016 Premier League winner scored against Brentford and Bristol City. Jay Stansfield should start in attacking berth but newbie Max Bird is out injured.
