Wrexham arrive on the back of a DDLWD sequence that has featured a win over Manchester United among draws with Watford, Cardiff and Middlesbrough plus a defeat away to Middlesbrough. Birmingham have been more consistent without turning draws into wins, stringing together a DDWDD run that includes results against Bristol City, Sheffield Utd, Swansea, Barcelona and Portsmouth, with only the victory over Swansea breaking a pattern of stalemates.
The two sides met twice recently, with the away side winning 2-0 in April 2026 and a 1-1 draw recorded in October 2025 when Wrexham were at home, giving this latest meeting a head-to-head backdrop of one win apiece across the last two encounters.
Birmingham's DDWDD run has yielded only one win but no losses, contrasting with Wrexham's DDLWD sequence that mixes a victory over Manchester United with a defeat to Middlesbrough.
