- Kickoff: 20:00 UK / 21:00 CET
- Venue: Racecourse Ground
On Friday, Wrexham host Coventry City at the Racecourse Ground in what looks set to be one of the more intriguing fixtures of the Championship’s midseason. Coventry arrive in blistering form, top of the table and boasting one of the league’s highest goal tallies, while Wrexham - fresh from their historic rise to the Championship - will be desperate to prove they are no pushovers on home soil.
Wrexham vs Coventry City Head to Head (H2H) stats
- 
				Coventry City 3 : 4 Wrexham FA Cup 
Historically, Wrexham and Coventry have met very infrequently in league play. According to 11v11 records, their competitive meetings date back decades, with results such as Wrexham winning 5-1 at home in 1963 and several Coventry wins in lower leagues. However, both teams did in fact meet in a non-league fixture a couple of seasons ago - Wrexham claimed an entertaining 4-3 win over Coventry in the 3rd Round of the FA Cup in 2023.
		
			 
		
	
Wrexham team overview
Wrexham come into this match with a mixed set of statistics and form. Although they have not performed particularly poorly over their last six Championship games - losing only once - they have struggled to convert draws into wins, with four of those five unbeaten results ending 1-1. In fact, they have suffered just two defeats in their last ten league matches, but five draws during that run have inevitably hindered their chances of climbing the table.
Matches involving Wrexham are rarely among the most entertaining spectacles in the Championship, with 58% of their fixtures this season producing under 2.5 total goals. Manager Phil Parkinson has acknowledged that a few players are still returning from minor injuries, and he is expected to rotate carefully given the current fixture congestion.

Coventry team overview
Coventry enter this fixture in scintillating form. They currently sit top of the Championship and boast one of the league’s most potent attacks. Their recent scoring rate has been exceptional, recently matching a 60-year club record by netting 34 goals in 12 games. Their run includes multiple high-scoring victories, and the 2025/26 Championship data confirms they have recorded both the biggest home win (7-1 vs QPR) and the biggest away win (5-0 vs Sheffield Wednesday) so far this season.
Frank Lampard’s side have been nothing short of prolific, averaging 2.8 goals per game in the opening 12 matches - a remarkable level of attacking consistency. In terms of injuries, Josh Eccles has been recovering from a minor “dead leg” and may return to training shortly, although his full match fitness remains uncertain.

Prediction
Taking into account Coventry’s blistering attack, their recent statistical dominance, and Wrexham’s inability to score over 1.5 goals in six straight matches, the visitors are strong favourites. However, Wrexham’s home resilience and occasional surprises in this fixture league history mean a straight rout to victory is unlikely. A narrow Coventry win seems the likeliest outcome, considering Wrexham are capable of shutting teams down and restricting their chance creation.
Prediction: Coventry to Win
Three reasons we expect Coventry to Win
- Coventry are top of the current Championship standings with 28 points.
- Coventry have recorded six consecutive league wins from late September to late October.
- Coventry are still undefeated this season (W8, D4).
