Wrexham vs West Brom: Match preview

Wrexham's first second-tier game for 43 years ended in heartbreak away from home on the opening day as they led newly-relegated Southampton in the 90th minute, only to suffer a late 2-1 defeat.

West Brom were meanwhile successful in seeing out their own 1-0 lead as they got off to a winning start at home to Blackburn Rovers.

Sky Sports pundit David Prutton has described Wrexham's chances of completing a fourth successive promotion, taking them straight up from non-league to the Premier League, as 'fanciful'.

We wonder if he may have revised his opinion in light of Wrexham completing a £10m move for Ipswich forward Nathan Broadhead on Thursday. Whatever you think of the signing, a Championship club spending that kind of a fee is a hell of a statement of intent.

But as they discovered last weekend, the Championship is a brutal battlefield of a division, and Phil Parkinson's side will now be desperate to show they really can hang with the big boys on the pitch.

Enter West Brom, who have consistently been in the top ten since coming down from the Premier League in 2021 but are yet to make it back to the top flight.

New manager Ryan Mason will have been set the task of getting the job done this season, and spoiling Wrexham's party again would leave them with the best possible start to the Championship season.

Wrexham vs West Brom: Expected line-ups

Wrexham: (3-5-2): Ward; Cleworth, Coady, Brunt; Barnett, Dobson, James, O'Brien, Cacace; Windass, Broadhead

West Brom: (4-2-3-1): Griffiths; Furlong, Campbell, Phillips, Styles; Molumby, Mowatt; Fellows, Price, Johnston; Heggebo.

FourFourTwo's prediction

Wrexham 0-0 West Bromwich Albion

Phil Parkinson has increasingly built his success at Wrexham on being hard to beat first and foremost, and that is likely to continue throughout the campaign. West Brom have long been much the same, so it could make for a cagey, fraught encounter...and that spells nil-nil to us.

Now watch it be a 4-3 thriller.
