Bristol City vs Wrexham Head to Head (H2H) stats
-
Wrexham
2 : 0
Bristol City
Championship
Bristol City won nine of the last 11 H2H matches against their next opponent. On the other hand, Wrexham won only once, with one draw. The only win for the team from Wales came this season, when they beat Bristol City 2-0 at home. Also, it is worth noting that six of the previous seven H2H games between these two teams went under 2.5 goals.
Bristol City team overview
After a playoff defeat last season, Bristol City are not far from another attempt. Actually, if they beat Wrexham on Tuesday, the team from Bristol will return to the desired spot. However, the team from Ashton Gate Stadium is not at the peak of their form, having won only two of the last five matches. In the most recent outing, Bristol City won 3-2 on the road against Hull. The guests impressed with their creativity, finishing with significantly higher xG and securing an important victory.
Bristol City were due to face Port Vale in the FA Cup over the weekend, but the match was postponed because of a waterlogged pitch. That will give Bristol City's manager, Gerhard Struber, much more time to prepare his players for the Championship tie against Wrexham.
Bristol City doesn't have big problems with missing players. They will be without Luke McNally and Max Bird on Tuesday night.

Wrexham team overview
Wrexham are one of the most impressive stories in English football in recent years. After three consecutive promotions, the Red Dragons are hoping for another. Wrexham played well recently, with three victories in the last four matches. In the previous game, they won 1-0 in the FA Cup at home against Ipswich. The teams were pretty even, but the hosts' better efficiency was enough for victory and progress to the 1/8 final.
Wrexham's manager, Phil Parkinson, is impressed with his team's improvement. After victory against Ipswich, he said, "I thought we showed how we've evolved as a team since we played them down at their place (a 0-0 draw n November) where were excellent with the detail out of possession, but tonight with the ball I thought we were really good at times and that's what we're all about, we're evolving as a team into this level and I enjoyed watching some of the football tonight."
Lewis Brunt, Aaron James, and Thomas O'Connor are injured and will not play on Tuesday in Bristol. Also, Liberato Cacace is questionable and his status will be clearer closer to the kickoff.
